You won't find these on the Mint's website yet. Here is a small preview of the new stuff coming in March.  |

Thanks for the post! Always nice to see what's coming!
I was expecting a Special Edition silver dollar for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee -- maybe later in the year.

Myself, I sorta kinda like the $ 10 Titanic coin, but I don't $ 64.95 like it. If the 1oz $ 20 Queen's Visit to Canada is $ 89.95 how can the 1/2oz $ 10 Titanic be $ 64.95?
I would have purchased one at $ 39.95.
The 12 birthstone set is even more crazy over priced. Its ~ 96g of silver, for $ 779.40?!?! Yes I know, you get a nice box and the coins do have a crystal in each one, but the box & crystals aren't worth $ 683! OUCH!

Just from a design standpoint, my favorite is the $0.50 Titanic. It says painted, so I am assuming that the painted portion would be the water and it is black.
I do like the silver $10 one as well, so I will likely end up getting both, but I agree the $64.95 price seems off when compared to the $20.

Well, it looks like I will be spending more dollars on some bullion. Love the Kooks, Koalas, and the Moose.

Expensive Copper... (silver plated) but may be worth seeing the quality of the painting. Hopefully better than the typical dot matrix printing.  |

(silver plated) but may be worth seeing the quality of the painting Agreed that it's expensive for the materials though I think the design is better than the other Titanic offerings. Plus the mintage is a bit lower. I pre-ordered one as well as the 1 oz silver Queen's visit to Canada. Other than that, I don't see much of interest in these latest coins. Quote:

Yes, I hope the painted Atlantic Ocean doesn't have that "dot-matrix" look. I wish we were able to rely on the RCM images. It is always nice to see the real Canadian Coins images once you have one in hand to photograph! I do like the layout because of the dominance of the ship image itself. |

The niobium wolf looks pretty cool. $121.95 is quite expensive for a coin no bigger than a twoonie.

I think I will get the ultra high relief silver coin. I don't have any of that kind yet.
how about that 50 cent, only 10,000? is that rolls or coins?

@jpaiva83, @CC-Ottawa: Thanks for the info!
@SilverBug: 10,000 rolls so 250,000 coins. I grab some of them each year... it's always cool gift for people who never see 50-cent coins!
