Good Day
I ordered the subscription for this when I ordered the polar bear and I still have not received my coins. my parents have received theres and they placed there order last week. When I log into the mint website it says processing. IS anyone else in the same situation? should I call them or just wait and let it take its course?
thanks for any replies/advice

You could phone to inquire but I don't think it'll help much. I guess I would just wait for the mint to get there sh*t together.

I realized the mental image of the queen riding a dragon! I was having a pretty bad day and I had to say that gave me a good laugh!! I don't know what is worse, the idea of that coin, or the fact that I would probably have to buy it...

FYI:
If you are Masters Club, the mint has lifted the restriction limit on this 20 for 20. You need to call to order but you can buy as many as you like. For some reason, the restriction still exists on-line.
I'd also bet that even if you're not MC, you could call and order as many as you like.
To me, this indicates that sales are not so great on this coin....

Poor image, overused theme (Jubilee fatigue) and the fact that the coin has been hard to even find on the website at times = slow sales.

One of those "gotta have" just to complete the series. And at 20 dollars for 20 dollars there is no real advantage in waiting for the coin to appear on the secondary market. I did not hesitate to order. Have we seen one sold under face value yet?
Unquestionably boring this one is, but I do like the young queen's effigy. The shiny relief on frosted field is particularly effective in preserving all the details, while providing a stunning contrast.

I agree it is a must have and really no downside to buying other than tying up some grocery or beer money. I have several too and totally agree that if you display the old effigy, they are quite nice.
But I think they've were poorly received by CCF members initially and that appears to have carried on through the general sale of this coin. No 29 or 34 day sell out on this one.
I wonder if the next coin will be able to revive interest with a better deign or if the appeal of a $20 exchange will wane. Time will tell.

Yeah, they did that to the polar bear one too.

Some say they "will never buy from the RCM" again. So I guess they have no choice but to buy elsewhere... |
