These rolls are no more special than the other special rolls issued over the past 10-15 years. All of the poppy quarters, veterans and 2007-2009 Olympic quarter for example were issued in special wrapping. I don't think any of those rolls have appreciated much if any. Maybe a few of the loonie rolls have done well over time (Terry Fox comes to mind). In any case, as Silveroid said, there is no comparison IMO to the serialized last penny rolls. The new Stanley Cup quarter is scheduled to be unveiled tomorrow at 1PM. For those in Ottawa, there is an event at Rideau Hall 2-7PM so it seems extremely likely that the 1PM reveal will be at RH with the Cup in the building. "The Governor General David Johnston will welcome the iconic trophy back to Rideau Hall, along with 100 Greatest NHL® Players Mike Bossy, Paul Coffey, Dave Keon, Frank Mahovlich, Bernie Parent and Bryan Trottier. The public will be able to have their picture taken inside the residence, beneath the official portrait of Lord Stanley, Canada's 6th governor general and donator of the Stanley Cup®. Visitors are also invited to lace up their skates and hit the ice on Rideau Hall's refrigerated outdoor skating rink."http://www.ottawa2017.ca/events/sig...cup-tribute/

I think it looks good! Too bad the registered trademark symbols have to cheese up the design though. Hopefully they aren't as obvious in-hand.

Thanks. My rep sent notice for the special wrap at 2x+ FV but not the 10 coin packs. I have to admit, I am surprised that they have issued the new quarter at FV in these packs.

Thanks for the notice and glad RCM is selling 10-coin packs. That makes it so easy!

Limited to only 1 pack per household. It's so silly the mint's limit is 1! Make it at least 3 or 5. But 1 is almost useless when you have 5 grandkids. And these packs are perfect to encourage young collectors. It's a shame the limit is so low.

There is also a coin exchange planned for Tuesday at First Canadian Place. Limit of 4 coins (allegedly).

I ordered 10 of these 10-coin packs. They make fantastic stocking stuffers at Christmas and card stuffers for birthdays and other occasions.

Received my order of 100+ packs.
Going through them to see if I can find any of the weak strikes on the cup as previously mentioned.
Gone through about 30 packs so far, nothing

Well hey Wiz ol' pal o'buddy and friend. Uh, how is it exactly you were able to get 100 packs of 10 when limit is one? And what about this weak strike you mention here, seemingly, for the first time....where that thread at? Did I miss? tia

Last weekend I went and exchanged 32 125 anniversary of the Stanley Cup quarters at the Mint Boutique in downtown Vancouver. Because they limited the amount of coins one can exchange to 8 coins/person, I brought family and relatives who don't collect coins to the Mint Boutique so I can get more than 8.
