Thank you for the assurance, commems! I will buy this one with peace of mind now after hearing from you. I really like this one. Very nicely done, with selective gold plating.

I don't think I would want to sell it any time soon. This one is a keeper.

@tocoins: Happy to help! Now, the "cost" of my free advice is a picture posted here on CCF when you get the coin!

@commems, as promised. I didn't bother to take the wrong COA and case wrapper in the end. Turns out the case wrapper's wrong as well.

My picture really doesn't do the coin justice. There's reflection from the holder. I'm not very good with flash photography. Loving this coin.

While I was at it, I decided to take a picture of the one coin that got me into NCLT collecting. The subtlety that the various finish on this one really got my attention when I saw it in a CP office. I bought this along with the proof set. The one in the proof set has gold overlay and looks even better. I am too lazy to dig through my stash box now to take pictures of it. It perfectly demonstrates the craftsmanship of RCM. I have no doubt that they have some of the best engravers and coin designers in the world.

Thanks much for sharing your latest acquisition - it's a very nice coin with a creative/imaginative design. I'm sure you'll enjoy owning it.

Thanks also for sharing how you got started with NCLT coins, it's always nice to learn about fellow collectors and their collection! The Parks Canada dollar is one of the most "artistic" coins of the RCM's modern dollar series.
