Wow....who was buying at $700?!


Actually that is a good price at $700. It is hard to find one for under $800 on ebay. I would gladly pay $700 if I did not already have one. I pay $500 for mine and some people thought I overpaid at that time.

Anyone know how many butterflies Colonial had? Checked their site shortly after it was posted this morning and it was already out of stock. They couldn't have had very many for sale?

Don't think CA had any for sale (yet). I watched their site as they loaded the new coins and the butterfly never had stock. The maple canopy had 9 but by the time I checked out with one in my cart...they were all gone.

Curious as to when Canada Post will have the new coins on sale - yes I know they won't have the butterfly.

Try GW - the Maple Canopy for 104.95 . Will be accepted as "backordered", but they mention, that expect the delivery from the mint.

thanks. I've seen it there. Just not worth over $112 w/ shipping to me.

I have one ordered from the mint and will pick up another at issue price if I see it. Otherwise, I can live without the second.

Ordered the Canopy coin today! Aswell I was told that my glass butterfly was succesfully ordered from the mint .......IMO The glass butterfly is the best looking bug of the 3.

The canopy is awesome ,as proven by the live pictures in the other thread!

I had a chance to order a handfull of canopy & butterfly coins,however all I needed was one of each!

Cheers,WJ

My pleasure to help.
I think this coin will be available at PO's...but again, ordering now will be more safe.

I even sure, that I'll see this coin in my local branch..they "slow" there - the manager and the customers, for good and bad sides

That's a bummer CC-Ottawa. I tried to order 2 penny rolls from Colonial when they were in stock awhile back. I had them in my cart and when I tried to checkout, they disappeared. I don't think that's very good programming. Once an item is in your cart, it should stay there until checkout. I don't mind having a limited amount of time to check out (which the Mint site uses), but to have it removed from your cart is bad tactics.

Could you imagine if you went shopping and put your items in your cart and went to the checkout and someone nabbed your stuff from your cart and claimed them because they paid for them first? Wish CA would fix that annoying glitch...

Usually the session has the timeout, when you connected to such servers.
Withouth timeout you can "hold" this item for long.

Can you get around the time-out Silveroid, like disabling Java temporarily? Colonial's timer isn't feasible. I'm a fast typist and quick with the mouse, and still couldn't make it through checkout on time....

BTW, Gatewest now has this coin for $244.95.
