Mintage Limit 100 Coin if you believe 'em.
Pay $40 plus for $0.07 because they have a coloured flag and it's 2012.? I'm thinking P.T. Barnum

Just here this is the bullion, and seller has the "last Canadian penny coins in the world" (2012), plated silver and colored as province flags.

As these other mentioned sets proves the point, some collectors are mislead into believing they are official low mintage RCM products.

The USA has had third party colouring on quarters for a long time .Hockey, State Quarters, etc. I dont think it should be ilegal, just the amount they pump out with nothing to stand buy in terms of mintages. Like the burning maple leaf. They made 500 in 2015. Now they are making another 500 but using a coin with a different year So every year they will make 500. Also the gilt 25th anniversary coin .First company made 525 they were hot Now they are everywhere because people copied the gilt

What do you say to collectors that believe these types of enhancements are official limited RCM products.

Since the RCM doesn't seem to care about third party colouring, someone with air brush talent could make a killing on these types of enhancements. Although this coin looks nice it's a 30.00 coin with 70.00 paint and box, also a worthless coa.

Quote: ... the mintage is only 500 Certainly a misnomer here... "mintage" has nothing to do with the quantity of these coins that were actually plated in the secondary market...
