lesinwestvan Valued Member Canada 133 Posts	Posted 12/11/2012 7:46 pm It's simple why this series is doing so well, it appeals to birders as well as coin collectors. I'm an ornithologist (study of birds) and this is my other passion beside my coin collecting. This series is very popular among birders. I have several birding friends who collect these coins that don't know anything about coins or collect any other type of coins. It's all about the birds on this series :) Report this Post to the Staff
canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 12/11/2012 9:38 pm Well, when offer and demand (hum-hum sorry) Supply And Demand got out of hand on the Nuthatch I could not resist the opportunity and sold for almost $500. Price has come down since then but still... around $300. Impressive value for worthless metal indeed. Report this Post to the Staff
numismatist_2012 New Member Canada 42 Posts	Posted 12/12/2012 2:20 pm Just out of curiosity ( I don't collect this series), why is the Nuthatch fetching so much more than the others ? Report this Post to the Staff

numismatist_2012 New Member Canada 42 Posts	Posted 12/12/2012 4:11 pm I thought the Hummingbird was the first one... Report this Post to the Staff
CC-Ottawa Pillar of the Community Canada 3690 Posts	Posted 12/12/2012 4:27 pm Correct. Hummingbird was first. Report this Post to the Staff
jpaiva83 Pillar of the Community Canada 567 Posts	Posted 12/12/2012 4:28 pm I know its not Canadian but if you guys are looking for bird coins, the Aussies also make a few. At least these are made of silver! :) http://www.perthmint.com.au/catalog...in.aspx.aspx http://www.perthmint.com.au/catalog...of-coin.aspx I've seen them on sale at Talisman, Colonial Acres etc. Report this Post to the Staff
Mrpiedfort Pillar of the Community Canada 663 Posts	Posted 12/12/2012 4:32 pm Not sure which came out first, but both say 2007. Report this Post to the Staff
jpaiva83 Pillar of the Community Canada 567 Posts	Posted 12/12/2012 4:46 pm Humming bird is definitely first. April 4, 2007 http://www.mint.ca/store/news/the-r...out+the+Mint July 3, 2007 http://www.mint.ca/store/news/techn...out+the+Mint It does make me wonder why in a lot of coin lists, the Nuthatch appears first and why is it the one that is crazy expensive. It also makes me wonder why there is an achieved page on the Mint's website for the Hummingbird but not the Nuthatch. http://www.mint.ca/store/coin/25cen...-prod1470003 Report this Post to the Staff
canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 12/12/2012 7:25 pm what I wonder is why the Nuthatch is so popular. IMO it's the least impressive design of the series. Report this Post to the Staff
