I don't think that is a SUN, I think it is a thing on the bottom of a ski pole.
But it would make a pretty cool wheel cover too.
I bet that the face is some sort of Native American art.

What is the R.C.M. thinking?! This silver dollar is UGLY! And at that price they must be kidding. There's a limit of 3 per household. I'd be suprised if even one per household sells of such an ugly coin in this economy. I think the R.C.M. needs to read this post. Someone forward it to them!

I liked Michael Findlay's recent Trends commentary about NFLD coins, as it applies here (IMO).
In a nutshell...if you don't have strong demand, relative scarcity alone will not be enough to drive prices.

I ordered 2 a few minutes ago. I really like the "normal" canadian coins, not so much the guitar picks, etc. To each his own. At least they are innovative, unlike the US mint, recycling old designs over and over and over.

Did anybody actually get one shipped to them yet from the RCM? Did anyone get one from a dealer? Im just trying to see if I need to contact the mint once again and ask them to ship this. With only 5K of these minted, and the fact I web ordered one within 24 hrs of their release I want to be damned sure I get mine and not forgotton. |

Dollar, I know the frustration. It took almost 4 months for mine to ship. The upside is that it is selling for $177 CAN on ebay [eBayItem]350325773804[/eBayItem]. "Buy Now"s are generally over $200.  Edited by canadian_coins

No offense but buy it now's are generally poor indications of real prices.
Asking, and getting, are different creatures.

Buy now, asking prices, sale prices are all metrics to look at, just like Trends, Charlton, Colonial Acres, J&M, etc.
Here's [eBayItem]370346602128[/eBayItem] ... $215. That's pretty unreal since it exceeds a couple 'Buy Now's" already.
BTW, no offense taken! - but can you define what is the 'real' price?

Most NCLT coins do go down in value,this coin however has everything going for it,low mintage,a great design,and it commemorates a very popular event.Where the price will be a couple of years from now?Who knows.I like this coin,hard to believe its made by the same outfit that brought us the Macintosh apple commemorative dollar a number of years back.

Eeewww@ the mackintosh apple commerative dollar. Alot of those dollars from the 80's lacked artistry. Ever see the 2002 Queen Mom commerative? Theres another ugly coin IMO, thats way over priced in retail right now. http://www.colonialacres.com/cgi-bi...2002queenmum |
