November Release

Canada Post either have too many coins or there is no demand for it or both.

Be optimistic guys!

Or as they say: "Never look a gift horse in the teeth!"

Well folks, I have to admit that I have been looking the Caribou coin in the teeth lately, as it has swung in and out of "awaiting stock" on the mint's site.

So after checking with my wife (always a good thing to do...), I took the plunge and ordered one. I hope it's going to look as good as I think it will.

By the way, the fact that it's got a mintage of 8,500, CC&C is selling it for 30 bucks more (Dollars, not Caribou bucks), and especially because there is no fancy display box for me to to complain about, all had a lot to do with my decision.

@NuMoosematist, Still waiting for both the polae bear and caribou. I think we will both be happy when they come.
We will have to compare notes when they arrive!

The Polar Bear was available on the Shopping Channel for a while (maybe it still is). My brother had a 20% off any purchase from them, and it works for coins too. Last Thursday I ordered the Polar Bear from TSC. With 20% off it was only $80, and under $90 even with shipping. I got the coin on Monday of this week - talk about fast service.

I love it! I think it's brilliant. I wasn't going to buy it, but for 20% off I couldn't resist. The $90 at TSC is still cheaper than the Mint, even with MC free shipping.

It was the only coin I bought this release (apart from 2014 sub), but I am glad that I did. I wish I had the caribou now, though.

Snoopy, how do you get images in your posts? I've tried several times and it's not working for me. the images are .jpg and under 100 kb. They upload to the post fine, but it won't show the image. Only shows that they are broken, somehow. (The symbol with a page ripped in two pieces).

Any help would be awesome, thanks!

Nice one, thanks for sharing.
Still it "colored" for me, but I thought, it will be worse.

You can buy the Caribou for issue at Colonial Acres, this is not the "hot coin":

@marty So you must've got free shipping then. Because the coin is $99.95 regular. That's awesome. I love easy pay option from TSC, too. It's helped me buy coins that I couldn't afford the whole price for.
