The RCM web changed the shipping date of this maple to 07-05-2012. Now I wonder how do I read this "Date"? It seems more like "Next Shipping Date" rather than "1st Shipping Date", since we all know people do get them in hand way before that date. Or were they just isolated cases? I miss our Ms. RCM Rep here. |

Although I wouldn't argue with the fact that these aren't investment pieces, I don't know why people always bring it up so much. I can't imagine that's the main reason why collectors buy them. I buy NCLTs because I find them aesthetically pleasing and a lot cheaper and more spatially practical than collecting wall art. In my home, I ran out of wall space years ago, thanks to my better half.  I don't have the 2012 but plan on getting it later on. My favorite probably remains the 2008, which I believe was the first.  |

 I buy them primarily for the art. Also a bit for the history with some of them. Also a bit because I guess I'm OCD and like to complete sets! I hope they'll at least maintain their value but that will be for my kids to worry about after I'm gone! |

2009 is my favorite. 2008 would be my second choice.  |

@Canadian_coins:
Every coin I purchase, I save the image into my computer along with a brief description and issue price.

run into this coin today at canadapost... with price tag of 104.99. At checkout, unfortunately it scanned right price. Decided to buy anyway and call RCM to cancel my order. On call lady said that my maple leaf was backordered and I had to wait another 2-3 weeks for shipping so... decision to cancel it was easy :) |

There 6 month passed from the last comment here, the coin is Sold-out at the RCM time ago, and now listed with some premium on ebay, but could be purchased at some dealers for issue price. Not a fun of crystals, but when I saw it in the PO two weeks ago - immediately bought this coin. It so beautiful in hands. The guy at PO told me that the coin was there from May 2012 and nobody wanted it. |

I like 2008 and 2009 raindrop coins, especially the one of 2009. I just feel ok with others, so I don't collect them.
