How are you all displaying them now? Any of you keep them attached to the COA as they shipped or is that just me? depends how do you look on this: the coin as coin itself, or you consider packaging and coa as single item. According to the previous topics not few people found some box in order to display the coins together (not with COA) example:  |

I currently display mine in my 6 shelf glass display cabinet with the little acrylic art easel things, but if there is ever an end to this series I would like to do a shadow box type display with them semi-sunken in a wooden background so I can hang it like a picture. I believe earlier in the series someone had done this but now that this is a much bigger series it may not be able to hold them all.
I don't consider the card they came with a COA (pretty sure it was only the first coin that came with a true COA)so I just toss them in a box and forget about them. Couldn't even tell you where most of them are ATM.

Very nice displays, thank you for posting photos. Gives me ideas. Since I just started collecting this series, I think I'll have to go in search of the previous issues :)

Jackalope, where did you get that box? This is the good one.... Lighouse Volterra wooden box for square capsules, but ideally suitable for the round capsules different sizes. Holds up to 60 coins. Priced CAD 80 - 100. There is a similar exists, cheaper, the difference, that the cheaper box has trays not framed with wood. Try Colonial acres or CC&C for example. |

@ Jackalope that is a fine display, I really like the dark wood display. I find it really adds to the look of the display. Easels are another wonderful way to display a collection. For the smaller coins the cherry wood display make them pop. It's really too bad the mint doesn't offer collectors cases, it could be another revenue stream for them. Would like to see others ideas on display cases!

Excellent suggestions! I'm now going to have find a nice display and go looking for the previous coins in this series as I only starting collecting them this year. The photos posted sure do make the series display beautifully, much more so than where I have mine now, in a drawer haha!

I see it's been re-listed... (not sure it was ever de-listed, but don't recall seeing it previously this summer while cruising the $X for $X collection... can anybody correct me on that?)

My guess is that the Mint is in a position where it will soon have no choice but to melt the remaining unsold coins down and is stepping up efforts to mitigate any losses as a result.
Likewise with the 2015 Superman and 2016 $25 Winter Fun coins, these too will be archived and no longer available.

it has been relisted, with a new order number, you can';t order it with the number listed on the web page, those are sold out, but there is a new order number for the new stock....and the rep told me, these are excess coins being returned from dealers? wth, so dealers can return unsold stock.. I bought 4, because the loophole got me the free 1/2 ounce coin on the last promo..but I will not be turning them into the bank like so many unscrupulous people do.. to get free things..

And just like that, it's "awaiting inventory" but "available in store"... no more via the website.

Strange - I just got an email telling me Quote:Dear , <not edited, this was literally blank>As you requested, your Royal Canadian Mint order has been successfully cancelled. The order details are as follows ORDER DETAILS Order date: 9/28/2016 Order number: webXXXXX Order status: Cancelled NON SHIPPED ITEM(S) Products Quantity Price Total $20 for $20 Fine Silver Coin - Gingerbread Man No.149288 2 $20.00 $40.00 But I never put in any cancellation request..... (The one time I did try to do so, they shipped the following day anyway)... Anyone else get this? |
