@ Ravenzcoin: usually the Coin Exchanges come from rolls. afaik, the 5-packs are normally only on the website.

So we received our three sets today. Sorry for poor picture quality I just wanted to share. The stickers were intact and the condition of the coins were typical of what we've been seeing with regard to scratches and also some obvious bubbling under the plating on some. At a glance, no obvious doubling. I can't wait to find some in circulation so I can hope for something set worthy.   |

Got mine today, quite a few scuff marks, and some small pieces of dirt on a few.... but I guess at face value I can't complain that much.

I got my three packs today. I ordered on line the day they became available. Now I know why they call them lucky loonies - you feel lucky you didn't pay more than face value!  Okay - really not that bad for face value - I was able to find one in the group with no scratches - better than what I would find in change in a week or two at no extra charge. I didn't really care for the design two years ago so don't really care for this one from a visual point of view but it will fill a spot in my album. I believe that in years past they always changed the look from a prior Olympic Loonie. I wish that they would have done that this year. Edited by punman

Got mine today in the mail, as well. Was beginning to worry. Unlike the photos I've seen, mine are satisfactory. And, yes, I'm expecting the ones at the coin exchange to be from rolls.

I gave a closer look at mine today. Both 5 parks are very nice. A couple MS-65 for sure

These are CIRCULATION packs...the same one that are in the rolls, they will have marks and digs. Not sure why some seem to be so surprised at the condition of them. I'm not defending RCM, just stating the facts. Their service is growing more and more pathetic  There is my rant for the day  |

In the past, the quality of their circulation sets have been much better than this. I have never before received a coin at face value in their sealed packaging that had scuff marks. Just saying...

I agree with you noah, their quality over the years has been lacking but I will not complain to much on these sets....sold for face value...no taxes...and free shipping, not out anything! But yes, I agree, there should be a little more pride taking if your going to make a set no matter what it is The RCM has gotten, IMHO, out of hand with making commemorative coins and sets that they really could care less about these kind of sets. Seems that there is a new coin or set out every other day....hey, it Tuesday, let make a coin to celebrate!! Its getting ridiculous |

The 5-pack sets are available again on the Mint website today. It no longer says "out of stock" so I ordered 3. Navigating to the item seemed to be impossible except by using a search for "lucky". Maybe it is just my "lucky" day today? Hopefully the order won't be cancelled.

Well, the good thing about the lack of envelope is that next time when we want to sell our earlier cir. packs to dealers, we can tell them that "there was no envelope when we got them" even if we threw them away by accident.

By the way, one of my packages had an incomplete seal, meaning that the coin would fall out.

Does that mean that the buyers whose orders were cancelled will get them reversed?

Minor die crack through the date on all 5 coins I ordered.
I like the circulation packs. It saves watching my change for the latest coins.
I cut out the one I want and spend the rest.
