On another forum, this coin has already been voted as the most ugly gold coin ever made, lol.

My local PO already has it together with Arctic Proof Dollar and Silver Proof set.
Need to say, that the 1/25oz gold not so realy bad.
But this one I would buy, only in case if I was collecting all this series. In the Mint site it looks better.
But the Proof Dollar - beautiful
And the Selectively gold plated dollar (Arctic) in the set - amazing

I saw it today at the Mint boutique store. Wasn't impressed with it at all and didn't end up buying it. My wife thought it was an owl on the reverse.

CC-Ottawa, I share your grief! I thought the Owl Shaman was such an ugly looking coin when I received the Master's Club release. Return it if you can, just follow your heart.

My first disdain was upon receiving the `bluenose`1/25th gold coin last year. There are so many portraits of the Bluenose - I understand the need for detail on a small coin, but man, that picture of the boat with the 'selective frosting' was atrocious and did a tremendous dis-service to the ship.

I thought that one was a dud on first sight.

wow! i'd love to see a pic of it. I actually thought it was an awesome looking coin but I held back on ordering it...I'm now glad I did if it's as ugly as you all say it is.

You just missed it on the shopping channel. It was featured about 10 minutes ago so if you're near a television, they will likely show it again near the end of the hour. Just in case you did miss it, they have a fairly representative photo on their website: http://www.theshoppingchannel.com/T...nav=R:511196Edited by CC-Ottawa
