Mine came from the Mint today - can't complain about slow shipping any more.

These are really well done coins; good design and a well executed matte proof finish.

I received mine in the mail yesterday and I am still sitting on the fence if I will or will not buy others . It would have been an easier decision if the mint would release a box the you could put the 20 , 50 and 100 series in and I must agree with some of the posts about how the mint puts a price on one coin to the next especially when they have the same silver content . Is the mint charging more for coins that have more detail or more work involved to make ( from beginning to end ) ? Also here is a review of the coin from the mints own site . This reviewer brings up something interesting that I did not notice until I took a good look at the bear .

" I have refused to write negative comments in the past because people vary in their visions and things are not ever perfect but! this poor bear just does not look right. it looks like his head is growing out of his left shoulder. please just take a close look at it. perhaps I am wrong but there is just some thing very wrong with this picture. I would have loved to buy this 50/50 but not this one. I apologize to the artist but it just doesn't sit right with my husband or I."

I just got mine in the mail today and although the packaging is rather dissapointing, the coin itself is very nice. I immediately took it out of the plastic packaging and put it in one of my spare clamshells, this coin definitely deserves one if you ask me.

Received my 3 - wish I could order more as my friends want some after seeing mine. Coin is great despite the packaging.
Rest in Peace

I guess WSDCoins is a dealer, and as such received 5 (or more) of the $50's for $50. I was able to get four by ordering my 'maximum of 3' from my rep, then I ordered another single coin online. (it would have allowed me to purchase an additional total of 3 online). I guess by doing it with the rep - on the phone, and following rather quickly on the internet - the orders didn't get crossed and/or cancelled. Hope this helps.

I saw one in person the other day. Looks a lot better and lifelike than the unimpressive photo. I still won't be buying any, however. I have far too much money tied up in modern mint products already.

none of this stamp market stuff for me! The mint is getting goofier by the week! Absolutely no integrity with the amount of new and ever increasing issues!

I will take one for my collection, and will give two away as gifts, and I'm sure the receivers will be as thrilled as I am."

Hi all,

New member here, first post...

I'm just wondering. Is this a totalitarian regime ?

Tons of members are saying the SAME things over and over about how they love RCM coins... we also ALL know their opinion on this... should they shut up ?

Am I entitled to say that I think those $20/$20, $100/$100 and $50/$50 are gift certificates ?

Are you asking or saying?

I think, I didn't understand the question, but will try to reply:
$20for$20, $50for$50 and $100for$100 these are RCM NCLT silver coins that Mint sells them for their face value. That's the basic info. Just search in all Canadian NCLT part of the forum, you will get all the details.
Or you always welcome to ask.

I should have wrote "right to" instead of "entitled to"... [note to self... get a french-english dictionnary].

Thx for the welcome Silveroid. I guess I was "saying".

These coins are gift certificates when shopping at the RCM Boutiques, yes.

Good analogy Jumpy! That is EXACTLY what they are, RCM scrip, no more, no less.

Gorgeous coin! I'm really tempted to jump in again. I think I still have my MC status.
