I know its not very popular but I really like the dream catcher, not sure why it didn't take off so too speak but its a sweet coin. Ya the Autumn bliss is very nice as well.

The Dream Catcher didn't take off, Northerncoins because a lot of folks (including me) are still waiting to receive it from the mint! Mine is "Backordered"!  P.S. I don't have a favourite. There are too many I like to choose just one. It's a cop out, I know...  Edited by NuMoosematist

You kidding me Moose, they are still on back order? Stupid Mint...  I got mine the same time they were released from CCC , they shipped them out the same day I ordered them...like months ago. Edited by Northerncoins

Wildlife Family Tigers seems to have many votes here.
This is also one of the best coins I've seen for a long time! I liked it when I saw the first design picture, much better at the first in-hand picture, and completely shocked when I received it! Amazing coin.
Other, I would say bronze allegory is one of my best, Spring canopy... there was many nice coins in 2013!

After seeing the Wildlife Family Tigers I ordered it It is very nice in hand. I put this in my top three coins that I have bought in the last year. Mow my first is still the 2012 Long-eared Hedgehog  its so cute LOL tied for second with this new coin is the Feng Shui Koi. This got me thinking about my favourite of all my coins ....I think I will go back and look through my books and see what still moves me after having it for years. |

Wildlife Family Tigers - nice coin...
But this pattern really overused.
Detailed "macro" of the animal head, swarovsky crystals as eyes and "antique finish".
*Mongolian series
*Fiji with their "oval" coins
*Papua New Guinea with Spiny Anteater Echidna
*Palau with Squirrel series (already 2-nd coin issued)
*Belarus - looks like not really successful remake of Mongolian coins.
...and some African coins like Gorilla with "true eye effect"
so, after buying of couple of above, I felt, that it's enough - not need to turn beautiful items to everlasting trend.

We could say that the silver maple leaf is overused.

Hahahaha marty, exactly was I was going to say. I mean if is not something new in technology like hologram or glass, we have piedfort or in subjects like maple leaf, hockey, bears, almost every month.
What is important IMHO is the beauty of a coin, if it's well done.

So the Maple, bears, caribou, beavers, first nations, water and ice expected to be everywhere in different variations. And they are literally popular. What do we have those coins? Looks like (the COA for them done in the same format), the German Mint mints same style coins upon the request of different  ries (or their entities: Federal Bank, Goverment, Mint...). Another thing - the mintage is very limited: 1000-2000, but tell me please, how come that so rare numismatic item can be found (after the hype over) for $100-$150 .... or just these coins have no demand, right? Together with all, yes, they very nice. |
