Thank god the mint took down all the reviews that complained about the mint. Now I can actually read about the coin.

@Newman26, thanks for the heads up. As soon as I read your post, I took a look at my account and noticed a charge as well. Honestly, I've never been so happy to see that. lol

Btw, did you order from Canada Post Philatelic? I ordered 3. Not sure if that is different from regular Canada Post. I just used the phone number that Elkslayer posted.

I thought the bee looked nicer, but now I think the butterfly is better.
A quick look on ebay and the price for the bee seems to be moving up albeit not my much probably because the market still has too many. It's too bad the Mint doubled the mintage. The ladybug will always command a huge premium.

Although I have never owned a Ladybug coin myself and have yet to see the butterfly coin in my hands I will say that It is the nicest of the 3. I've mentioned before it's not simply a blob of glass with different colors like the ladybug and bee (I'm not hating on those 2 coins by any means) but the butterfly the glass master had to form the curves of the wings, make the body and antenna darker than the wings its self! Now THAT is a true art masterpiece!

deal_with_Singh, thank you for the pics. The coin is stunning in my opinion. I really wish I had known about ordering from CP Philatelic. Maybe I would've been one of the lucky ones . In any case, I can't wait to see the next release.

This might be the last one as someone said.
But if not, we all have a year long to wait for the next glass coin.

IF it is the last one then they sure are going out with a bang as this coin looks to be VERY VERY nicely made!
