I was talking to Tj from Tj and Blondie about this topic a couple of weeks ago. We both agreed that we wanted only new and original coins. It seems that coin makers are taking the original great idea for coins, and continuously making them in different colors or making a 2008 version. I want to purchase coins where only 250 are made. It really disappoints me when I buy a coin right when it comes out, it gets sold out, then the maker posts well it sold out so quickly that I am going to remint 800 more.
My New Years resolution is to buy only first edition coins.
