taro-chan Valued Member Canada 373 Posts	Posted 02/19/2013 10:47 am Its unsticking from both sides, it just feels loose most of the time. I have a roll that has the sticker on the seam (bad bad QA) but the other ones were not on the seams. Report this Post to the Staff
noahs-numismatics Pillar of the Community Canada 3167 Posts	Posted 02/19/2013 10:49 am Certainly doesn't look very professional. The sticker is covering up the leaf! Report this Post to the Staff
Dooby Rak Pillar of the Community Canada 590 Posts	Posted 02/19/2013 11:03 am That may be the problem also. No real process control or quality control in applying the stickers. I would hate to think they were applied by hand, but that could be the case also. Report this Post to the Staff
SoulBrotherNo3 Valued Member Canada 330 Posts	Posted 02/19/2013 1:27 pm Does the mint use a paper wrapper on any rolls other than this product or are all of their rolls shrink wrapped now? If they don't normally place a label (sticker) on rolls, I would guess these would be hand applied as you would have to engineer your wrapping machine to have a label dispenser built in. If roll wraps are a regular product, they probably machine apply these. If hand applied, this is tedious and probably done by temporary workers which might help explain the inconsistency. Also could be they noticed the labels "popping" off when put over the seam and thought they could compensate for poor adhesive by just placing the sticker over an area where there's less resistance. Either way, this is not going to be easy to fix I think. Does anyone know what the mint is saying the delay time would be? These were supposed to start shipping a week ago. My guess is they don't start shipping for another 2 weeks at least depending on the fix they decide to use. Report this Post to the Staff
taro-chan Valued Member Canada 373 Posts	Posted 02/19/2013 2:32 pm Mint still uses paper rolls for their 50c. Everything else is shrink wrapped in plastic (2012 HMS Shannon etc.) Report this Post to the Staff
Dooby Rak Pillar of the Community Canada 590 Posts	Posted 02/19/2013 3:00 pm I think this is the first use of a hologram sticker. Report this Post to the Staff
Rockdaddy Pillar of the Community 1007 Posts	Posted 02/19/2013 8:37 pm Taro Some rolls are still done in paper, quick example: 100 years grey cup loons some shrink wrapped but some in paper, also the 2010 poppy quarters some shrink wrapped and some in paper. Both of those the post office handed out. Report this Post to the Staff

Silveroid Pillar of the Community Canada 6768 Posts	Posted 10/19/2014 08:21 am I think - privately coloured. Low mintage - its good. But the image not clear, imo. Edited by Silveroid 10/19/2014 08:23 am Report this Post to the Staff

rjlavoie Valued Member Canada 354 Posts	Posted 10/19/2014 09:28 am It does say in the description "The colorized Canadian penny coins advertised above are not official colorized issues of the Royal Canadian Mint. The Royal Canadian Mint does not authorize, endorse or sponsor these products. The coins were colorized by a private USA mint and is not affiliated with the Royal Canadian Mint in any shape, form or manner." Only 200 minted? Perhaps only 200 (printed) of that pattern. How about this one, another from the same seller titled "Canadian last penny 2012 Colored Edition 10 Rolls 500 Coins " then goes on to say again "low Mintage Only 200 coins" http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Canadian-las...em27edd18faa He does have some really nice $0.25 coloured coins like this one http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Canadian-201...em2a45724ec0 Report this Post to the Staff
