Well Dino, everything is available for a price. You should be able to find this one and all of them including the 2009 (T-rex) at reputable online coin dealers stores, or ebay. These guys below are very reliable and always have tons of stuff. heres a link to them, that is showcasing the 2009 (T-Rex). Hunt around in there.I did and they have all four of them. Notice however how the 2007 release is going for a bit more than the rest. http://www.colonialacres.com/cgi-bi...m=2009_t-rexEdited by Dollar1948

I have to say that Colonial Acres is probably the best place I've bought coins so far. Great condition coins and good service ... but slow shipping.

Dollar,
My kids are totally in sync with those coins! Of course... they are always fascinated with reptiles and dinosaurs. Personally, I don't connect and I think the coin would have looked better with selective bronze plating. It's too dark and my vision isn't good enough to see the details.

Ok, I will come out of the closet on this one. Just because your timing is impeccable Dollar.
I love this series and have them all. All "5" of them. Seriously, its true. This was such a successful series the mint decided to produce a fifth coin which incidentally was just released in August. Limited to 13,000. This is the second release for 2010. The Euoplocephalus. I just picked up the fifth coin for $49.95.
I am a huge Dinosaur fan, and this series has me hooked. Don't miss out if you are a collector of these coins.

Just for your info , this last dino coin the euoplocephalus tutus has no mint mark. I have all five and noticed it when put with the others I do not know if this an error or not? Help if any one knows more on it Thank's in advance.    |

Nice pics!
While The Dromaeosaurus (2010) has the Mint mark, the Euoplocephalus tutus (2010) does not.... So it's not an error.

Question for the Mint, any chance of these coming back in the future? I really liked these and got all of them when they came out. They were of my first NCLT's. I would like to see some more fossils, whether it being dinosaurs or even extinct beasts like mammoths.

I just sent themes@mint.ca a request for the Woolly Mammoth fossil coin. Hopefully they actually read those requests.

I agree, the Yukon Mammoth is beautiful. I really like the Lasqueti Mint coins, I have a couple of their silver coins, just because I liked the designs and concept of a small mint in Canada. I think my favorites are the sea star/dory and the 2007 Tree Frog. It must not have been easy working with Yukon Gold, because that certainly would require some serious refining to get it to .9999 pure.
