Bank Of Canada 1912-14 Gold Coin Special RCM Release

Thanks for trying shopaholic!

I guess we need one of the moderators to make the change.

Will somebody step up and post an obscenity in order to their attention.

we should keep trying to have the name change..if you search for this forum thread chances are page 1 wont come up on the first page of the results. I just tried Bank of Canada gold release and page 1 didnt show up on the first page of the results.......... so we have page 1 of the most important thread on this issue not even making the top 10 or so in the search engine

there must be some way we can find the person in charge of this area of the CCF

im going to start a new thread entitled WHERE ARE THE MODERATORS WHEN YOU NEED THEM! maybe that will get their attention

Thanks very much to the Moderators responsible for changing the thread title!

I'm very puzzled as to why this thread was moved suddenly and without consultation to this forum from the Canadian Commemoratives and Non-Circulating Coinage (NCLT) forum where it has existed since November 23, 2012.

It contains 178 pages of posts made almost entirely by the members who post regularly (and/or primarily) on the NCLT forum.

If this had been a problem why has it never been mentioned before.

What's more the special release of the Bank of Canada Hoard was made by the Royal Canadian Mint primarily to allow regular folks, NCLT collectors and others to have an opportunity to collect these coins.

I would ask the Moderators to please kindly return this thread to the NCLT forum where it was created and participated in for the last 21 months.

Thanks in advance!

The thread is now where it belongs.
The forum should strive to be a credible reference for collectors, subjects should be in an organized fashion.
That the B of C chose the RCM to market these coins is a moot point, they are circulation coins.

This is a tough one.

Even though they were produced for circulation 100 years ago, these particular coins were never in circulation.

In 2012, they were sold as uncirculated items through the RCM's numismatics distribution channels as opposed to the banking system, they had limited release numbers (30k total coins) and they were essentially NCLT. Like most NCLT, no one is ever going to use them as $5 or $10 currency.

They are distinguished between the circulated coins by special packaging including a holographic seal on the capsule and a COA. I can't think of any other 'circulation coin' that was distributed in a capsule with a COA from the RCM. That alone makes them more NCLT than circulation to me.

That said, I'm not sure it really matters where the thread resides; though it seemed fine where it was for nearly 2 years. It really is old news.

Which US forum are the GSA coins discussed in? That should hopefully make it an easy choice.

Upon deep reflection jbuck, I don't really think it matters very much in which forum the thread resides. As CC-Ottawa has said: "...It really is old news..."

I hope folks interested in the BOC hoard will find the information posted here informative.

I just wish that the change was handled in a more respectful manner.

Also, I was very used to finding this thread on the NCLT forum, and now when I want to see all those fabulous gold coins,



I don't know where to look.
