It's only been on the market a short time. I remember the ladybug coin selling for around $200 just before the bumblebee then it hit like $800. So it takes time and it need the right trigger. Give it time.

At some point the supply will dry up and anybody that sells now will loose. I've seen people selling coins bellow cost. If you wait to sell you will make money. 30,000 coins is not a lot. The supply will run out.

so I opened the older and use air pressure to flow it out (a piece of broken plastic)..... so make sure you check for those things


Some of my holders open easily, others are like super glued shut.

I think the ladybug was selling closer to $300 before the bumble bee came out. Maybe $250+

@ FinanaceGuru, sorry for the late reply. I sent my Dinos back to CP before the 10-day return deadline. Next time, I'll take photos before returning to let others know what to look for in terms of defects...
@Dooby, the Dinos were back up for sale on the Mint website just the other day, but sold out again. They are still available in the Mint stores. Could be due to returns?...
I gave my 2 Dinos away as gifts. Kids like them. But if the next coin is a real cool design, I see this one as a dud, unless it's needed to complete a collection. Still say, the design lacks imagination; the Dino should have been in flight... Just sayin....

The release schedule is out the window. It was supposed to be 2 last year two this year. The current coin was supposed to be the third. I'm guessing if they planed on making two 2013 coins we should see one more this year. The last coins was a fish looking thing. I think the best two will be the current two, but you never know, they may change the last animal/creature.

@Dooby Rak, the mint told me one per 3 months in 2013 so the set should be complete this year.

I hope so the mint is notorious for being late, and for lying about delivery times. I hope you are right, but I can't see them doing three coins this year.

Hmm, I just got me three, without having received shipping confirmation. The coins are packaged well, the glow effect is nice, and I am surprised at how attractive the coin itself is, considering it is base metal. Now, I myself don't consider this sort of exonumia to be a coin, and these are strictly for flipping, but I am pleasantly surprised at the piece.

I believe you need to charge it with some light

Charge the coin in a very bright light source for 30 seconds. I you use a very bright light souse the effect will be even better. By very bright I don't mean a 100 watt bulb, I mean the head light on a car.

It will really glow sharp and clear when exposed to a super bright light source for 30 seconds or so.
