It is easy to verify.
Members of this forum who live in Canada, please take a little time to vist the POs around your area.
And let us know if you can find this coin.
Give me thumbs up if I am right.

@BiBo: I wasn't questioning your report of the coin being available at your local post office. I just checked with the RCM to see if it will ever be available from them so that I would have a way of getting one down here in the US. During the call the RCM Rep expressed his surprise that they were available before their official release. That's it! Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

I don't doubt that the silver dollar is out there already. There are now a couple listings, including one from a dealer, that shows new pictures.
I wouldn't pay a premium for this now as there will be 10,000 out there soon enough. It would be nice to get it before the Stampede though.

Link on ebay says IN STOCK and also seems to be an actual photo, not web image... @BiBo Do you know how much CP is selling them? Anyone remember how much RCM listed them when it was leaked? |

@zennon PO sale ot for 69.95. This is 1/2 oz.
@Tocoins, I think Zennon talk about the Silver Coin, not the 25c stamp set.

Checked my local PO yesterday in Ottawa and they don't have the silver dollar nor do they know when they will get it. My mint rep told me a month ago that it was due out "mid June". Obviously a few are out there and on ebay while the mint tries to wait for some grand release (probably next week) and chastises us for breaking the news on this forum. I'm not even sure we should be discussing it since all previous threads that even mention this coin have been deleted. Yet another fail for the mints marketing machine. Nice looking coin though. Expect delivery in time for Christmas.  PS Quote:
Have you ever seen the "glow in the dark coin" available to order on the CP website? - yes CP had the dino on their website for a short time before it sold out. |

I just found an ad on Kijiji - seller is in Quebec near Montreal. Here is the text: Quote:

He's claiming that it sold out in Master club but I don't believe that it was ever offered to MC. (not everything on the interweb is true eh?) |

I will go to the shopping mall tomorrow, there are 2 post offices closeby.
I will take a photo if they have a new silver limited edition stampede coin display.

Talked to a dealer yesterday and confirmed that 1) the silver dollar exists (he took it out to show me but can't sell it yet), 2) Canada Post was Not authorized to start selling them (the RCM is right pxxxed off that post offices were selling them), and 3) it will be unveiled mid this coming week following some sort of pre-Stampede event in Calgary. Nothing special though. Looked like any other stampede coin, with the done-to-death cowboy on a mad horse. Edited by poboxw

Since the Stampede has already started, I'm curious if anyone else is still waiting for delivery of the 25 cent coin. I got one from the RCM a month ago but Canada Post has yet to deliver the two that I ordered from them. Curious if this is a Mint production delay, or an issue with CP. Anyone else waiting? |

I have received both the colored coin and the silver coin from the mint. I am not sure how long the wait was, but it was less than a week from order to coin in hand. I was pleasantly surprised.
