Re: Unusual 2004 CDN Poppy Quarter

The printing process was different back then. Kind of like a low quality bubble jet printer. Poppy images from other years have better quality because the printing process improved. Hard to find a circulated 2004 in good shape, the ink didn't last.

The one I looked at was fine but you never know.

RCM Proof Set Prices

Can anyone tell me why proof sets from the 1970s to 1995 (not 1973) are retailing at around $30 to $60 while 1996 to date are all over $100? Is it purely demand? Should I expect that in the coming years the sets selling for $100 today will eventually be part of the $30 -$60 group? (or priced accordi...
