Poll Question


The canoe had a lot of bag marks on the queen. Better design, but overall quality suffered.

Polar bear has a softer frost - a welcomed improvement however coin in hand does not look as good as we expected compared to the RCM artwork.

Maple Leaf might be the winner.

Poll Choices
2011 - Maple Leaf
2011 - Canoe
2012 - Polar Bear

i can't complain about any of the ones I got. I really like the design of the canoe but maple leafs are nicely done.

Leaf is safe, but is alright.

Canoe I have seen a similar technique with other subject matter before, but it is nice.

Polar Bear - is the freshest design by far and well done.

I voted Polar Bear... easy winner in my opinion.

So far the series is good... two more coins this year though... I have a feeling the designs will take a big plunge with something "too popular" or "mass appealing" or "gimmicky"... time will tell though.

Looks like the Polar Bear will be sold out any day now.
If it sells out in under 34 days, then the Polar Bear should be the winner.

According this review in the mint web site, the poolar bear might be sold out already.

I think they put a lot more thought into the design of the canoe.

I'm a big maple leaf fan, but the good news is this poll shows that the designs are getting better. Will be hard to keep up.

My vote goes to the canoe, the polar bear being a close second. The maple leaf was nice but not like the other coins imo.

It was a tough decision. Although I love the polar bear design, the canoe won me over. Great design with the reflections of Canada's past. I hope that they keep up the great designs with this series.
