Gatewest Now has a limit of 2 on the set and single coin. I wonder if this means the Mint is sold out.

I had decided to pass on this coin and the series based on the mint.ca drawings.

Then I saw a picture of the actual coin. Wow! Ordered the single coin from CP and will evaluate the subsequent offerings as they are released.

I definitely don't know art but I know what I like and this one is a stunner IMHO.

Borrowed from ebay:

I felt the same way until I saw one displayed at the Mint's Vancouver store.

Just got mine yesterday and it's great. My 15 yr old daughter even recognized the picture!

p.s. A little tidbit I just read on the Colonial Coins website:
Every brush stroke was recreated requiring approximately 80 man hours of engraving.

Is this coin a good investment compared to the dino coin?

I am puzzled because the mintage of this coin is 7000 and the dino coin 25,000, but places like ebay are selling the dino coin at multiple the issue price, but the group of seven coin is barely selling at all.

Because this coin is still available at all the coin shops at the mint price, where the Dino is all sold out or the price has been raised. I hope that helps.

I think the excitement of glow in the dark will be short lived. I think the Gof7 will be a better investment over time. Plus it is solid silver so it will always at least be worth melt value, although I just enjoy the art and don't plan on selling it.

This coin is now sold out at colonial acres, we'll see if they list anymore tomorrow and at what price.

It's a very nice coin, and should do pretty nicely, but I don't necessarily agree that the glow in the dark will be short lived. It may not shoot up much more from where it's selling for now, but I think worst case you'll always be able to at least double your investment on it if you bought it at issue, which is never a bad deal. Not too sure if that's the case with Stormy Weather.

Elkslayer do you think this coin is sold out at the mint, do you suggest buying a few for resale. Thanks

Thanks for the reply, I was watching closely to see when I should jump into this one if ever. It seems like nows the time I guess. Thanks again.

I was sitting on the fence about this coin too. Then I saw the video on youtube and was sold! I ordered one but now am thinking about getting a second one before they're gone.
