SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10464 Posts	Posted 07/22/2012 3:10 pm I don't usually buy NCLT. But, having conducted fieldwork in the Wells-Barkerville area of the Cariboo Mountains, I was compelled to purchase the small 50-cent gold coin. http://www.mint.ca/store/coin/fine-...-prod1410015 I absolutely love it. The effect of the mirror finish as the water in the gold pan is very striking... I am now seriously considering purchasing the $100 gold coin as well...

Coin Chick Pillar of the Community Canada 1354 Posts	Posted 07/23/2012 6:17 pm I'm planning on ordering one. Holding off since the mint is back logged $1000 of ordered coins already. I figured I was safe waiting for that one. Report this Post to the Staff
Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 07/24/2012 8:09 pm I certainly like the theme of this coin. It's not as cartoony as others I've encountered. Pics! Report this Post to the Staff
CC-Ottawa Pillar of the Community Canada 3690 Posts	Posted 07/27/2012 5:23 pm I received mine today. Sorry, it's tough to get a good picture but I wanted to show the poor job the mint did getting the coin into position and the ugly job someone did cutting the black foam. See the obverse between 5 and 9 o'clock. I like the tiny little coin but I'm not impressed that I have to crack open the capsule to fix the display. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10464 Posts	Posted 10/11/2012 10:18 pm I finally opened the wallet, and bought the other coin to match this one. I normally don't touch NCLT gold, but since I conducted fieldwork in that region, both the 50-cent and $100 gold coins speak to me... http://www.mint.ca/store/coin/14kar...-prod1230002 "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

Lostwords Pillar of the Community Canada 1528 Posts	Posted 10/14/2012 8:43 pm I think with these 1/25 being so small, it is hard to see all the detail. So far the only 2 of these 1/25 gold coins I like are: Blunenose - http://www.mint.ca/store/coin/bluen....UHtNuoZSSGs and the penny - http://www.mint.ca/store/coin/125-o...-prod1550017 Report this Post to the Staff
