SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 01/07/2013 7:10 pm I think they dropped the ball with this set. Each 1-cent coin should have been struck like the predecessors they are supposed to represent. The large cents should have been large, and why on earth did they put '1' instead of 'ONE' on the Edward and two George V cents? The Edward cent looks ridiculous...

CC-Ottawa Pillar of the Community Canada 3690 Posts	Posted 01/07/2013 8:19 pm Absolutely. The set is very good but correct sizing and wording would have made it great. RCM the dropped ball for sure. Can only explain the '1' as misguided political correctness or simply lack of attention to detail. I suspect the former. Edited by CC-Ottawa 01/07/2013 8:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Rockdaddy Pillar of the Community 1007 Posts	Posted 01/07/2013 8:28 pm I definetly think political correctness is behind the 1 and I can't explain the size issue. Report this Post to the Staff

SelectCoinCanada Valued Member Canada 414 Posts	Posted 01/08/2013 11:55 am Finally recv'd my two sets yesterday, COA # 4501 and 4491 if I remmeber correctly. Staying true to RCM's poor order managemenet, I'm not suprised that I received such a high COA # even though I entered my order within hours of the sets release. I guess the US dealers are more important :( I try not to complain about mint products because I think everyone has a different opinion. But why not include a sixth coin depicting Queen Victoria and double dated 1858-2012? Vicky's are likely the most desireable years for collectors, this would have been a nice piece to finish off the Vicky collection. Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 01/08/2013 2:15 pm Quote: But why not include a sixth coin depicting Queen Victoria and double dated 1858-2012? Because Victorian coins were never struck by the Royal Canadian Mint - this set was supposed to represent 1-cent coins struck by the Royal Canadian Mint 1908-2012.

cheney Valued Member Canada 200 Posts	Posted 01/08/2013 2:15 pm My first 3 sets are in 42xx range and I did order it before MC release. It seems like the Mint starts shipping them out from big COA #? lets see who will get small #... Report this Post to the Staff
