Well folks, I have a confession to make...
When the Superman coins were first announced to MC members with no images, just those silly question marks, I was was quite negative about them (now that's an understatement).
After seeing six of them from images "Illegally" leaked by sellers on ebay, my wife (who is as much as a coin collector as I am) and I decided they looked pretty good. We both grew up with Superman and he and all the characters in the comic book remain part of us. So, we ordered the "Hologram" and the "Shield" coins.
Five days later we decided to order the "Modern Day" and the "Vintage Superman" coins since they were all starting to grow on us.
On Tuesday, I noticed that the gold Superman was "awaiting stock" at the mint but was available from Canadian Coin & Currency at the issue price. This series was proving to be more popular than I expected. After a brief consultation we ordered one. (Much to my surprise I was only charged the 5% GST since we don't live in Ontariario).
Now having already purchased five out of the seven coins in the set, we rationalized, why not...? So we ordered the "Man of Steel" from the mint.
Needless to say we're very excited about these coins!
Having done a complete turn about. I'm now considering a career in politics...
P.S. We decided to wait on the "Lenticular" as it's a tad too pricey...
