I think, because there is a limit of 2, that he had to open a 2nd account to allow him to purchase the third coin.

Interesting also "what for to buy 3 of these"?
I don't think, that these will be popular at all.
But as "wolf" collector, wait for the 3-headed Cerberus, that attached to the Hades. Although it more likely dog, but could be wolf too....

I had 2 US friends that wanted them. Yes a second account was opened so I could bypass the limit. I don't know how this will be managed. This is sort of scary, I like to be the one making accounts, not someone else on my behalf. The mint is still messing up. Due to sending me 6 coins I never ordered, they maxed out the credit card I use for coin purchases. This has led to coins I really wanted being cancelled. This is where having a Rep to sort things out could be helpful.

@ Pocket Change:
Thanks for the clarification.
I hope your rep is really going to work on your behalf.
Anyway, if you become dissatisfied you can just order from the mint's site on your own.. That's what I do.

@ adambur, as I've stated previously the bulk of these coins are going to Germany as they were commissioned by a private person. So a very limited amount is being sold in Canada. This is what everyone seems to miss. The coin is meant for the European market and not North America. The same applies to the Moose coin. I've ordered 2 of them, as I like the look of them. I really enjoy the color and engraved animal coins. Animals are a huge collecting theme for me. Another theme I'm starting is collecting nice looking horse coins.
Adambur, I'd suggest approaching a MC member to order 1 for you. They can have the mint ship it to you for free and tracked. This is what I'm doing for my 2 US friends.

Missed appearence of the coins on the RCM website for the public. Yesterday morning, or today.... But after success of the Perth 2oz coin (with questionable design), need to think, that beautiful RCM 2oz coin will go same path - quick sellout and raising prices ob the secondary market. New Superman maybe? |

I just finished talking to my Rep, I was told the moose & wolf were commissioned by someone in Germany. Steven Bromberg was on the shopping channel last night aggressively pushing the new moose coin. He said he 'had a hand in designing' it and that it was 'his idea'. The TSC website says "the coin is a continuation of the style introduced with the 2014 Iconic Polar Bear coin, which sold out immediately with a mintage 8500". Of course Bromberg had a hand in that coin too. |

Received my 2015 Silver Fractional Set today, the Red Enamel on the 1oz is much nicer than I expect.

Will you be posting pics? I'm having trouble deciding on this set. What do you think of the incused design ? I've never seen this type of design before.

@pocket_change_50: here are some photos, the incuse is not as deep as I wish it to be, but overall very nice. BTW there was a fine filament on the capsule of the 1oz enamel coin (didn't notice it until updated the photos.   |

Wow those coins are very striking. The red is so vivid. I'm almost drooling, now to find the best price. The red coin is a beauty! Thank you for posting images.
