Wanted: Canadian - roll of 2004 Poppy colourised 25-cent coins

[Snooba]

If anyone has a mint roll of the 2004 Canadian quarters with the colourised poppies on them, I would love to buy them?  Please let me know?  Thank you.

Oooh, those aren't going to be cheap.  The colour doesn't hold up well in circulation, so the few that are still good are getting expensive.  I can't even remember the last time I saw one with the colour still on it.

They are still available at www.jandm.com for $35 CDN (3.5x face), but Colonial Acres (my shop of choice) has been out for some time.  Hope this helps.

Hey Topher, on the subject of the Poppy quarters;  what's the going rate on the Test Token set, with the colourized Poppy quarter?

These can really vary, so it pays to look around.

Colonial Acres has it for $49.95

J and M has it for $79.95
(see link below)

I've seen them on ebay for as low as about $35, so you may do best by keeping your eyes peeled there and use the above as a general guideline.  EDIT:  In fact, Colonial Acres has one listed at $35.99 right now (BIN for $37.00) with less than 3 hours to go.

Not too bad, to be honest, although they aren't THAT much in demand.

If it's any indication, the older 1965 test tokens are selling for some pretty ridiculous prices now.  See J and M's price page for these:

Thank you everyone for the helpful replies!

Thanks Topher!  I actually already have a set of these tokens, I was just curious as to whether or not it was a good purchase or not.  I never know with some mint products if they're worth the price or not...   So, maybe by 2040 this will be worth it.
