Quote: I think it look fugly and expensive IMO, it looks not bad. what actually we can expect from the Royal Birth coin? Clear design, Royal attributes, name, date. Well, there is no name. The baby here specified by parents and as "First Born". Don't the coin has almost everything that people complains about RCM coins? And mintage 1.500 In addition: NZ$139 = CAD 115.00 - cheaper than RCM "niobium" coin.

Well I'm at the ANA show in Chicago and this morning the RCM put on a Tea Party to give away the 3 coin set, so my wife and I went, sad to say I did not get the set a young girl won them. We did get to have tea and snacks.

The real prize at the ANA show would be one of the RCM coin sets, with the ANA medallion. Mintage of only 500...

There is an indicator of who the baby is in one of the coins. The beaver and moose stuffed animals were Canada's gift to the Royal baby.
Otherwise, the coins are quite nice and come with a reasonably low mintage.

Nah I doubt it... I can only see mint in commonwealth countries doing it (Royal mint, the RCM, the NZPost, the Perth Mint )but I can't see any other country mint doing that

Quote: Will other government mints coming out with "Royal Baby" coin sets? Here's a release on "new" coins being produced by the Pobjoy Mint for the British Virgin Islands: http://news.coinupdate.com/british-...-coins-2080/. They're not entirely new designs, but the incorporation of a privy mark regarding William's birth on each makes them different from their previous release.

That may be obvious to the coin collector but the general public would have no idea that the coins were related to the birth of Prince George. The coins are too generic to be connected to the Royal Birth. That is why the coins have not sold out. If the coins had the name of the baby, it would have sold out immediately. Low Mintage means nothing if there is little interest in the coins. The Rick Hansen coin had the same mintage of 7500, yet it did not sell well at all.
