With the weather we are experiencing right now, I'm not exactly celebrating living in the north right now :)
Joking aside, I put in an order. Thanks for the heads up - I don't think I would have heard about this if I hadn't seen this thread.

Do you know guys what's the limit for customers with rep? Yesterday evening I placed an order for two packs. And thought, that I want one more. I do not have a rep, so called the RCM. After 20 minutes of waiting (well, happens), I have been told that these packs impossible to buy via the call, online only. But again, I do not have a rep, and I believe it depends on the good will of CSR. |

It's kid of sad, kind of funny but with all of the coins this year that I've looked at or purchased I think these will be some of my favorites and I'm only spending $6.00. I'm good with that, I'd like to figure out how the ebay flippers can come up with multi sets when there is a "limit" of 2 sets per household. |

Thanks for mentioning this everyone! I ordered them today. They look like really nice circulation strike coins.

Just wondering....are they trading rolls at Square One?
Would you be able to get 4 rolls in person? One of each coin? :D

I do like the mint sealed versions, but I have to go that route as I don't live near Square One.
I would love a roll of each myself.

no rolls at square one... from the square one RCM event page.. Please note: we are no longer able to exchange rolls at this event. Five sets of coins per person is the limit. I was refused when I went.. they told me they were running low and didnt think they would have enough for the weekend event... |

I have put in an order for 2 sets. Very nice design... this is the first thing I have ordered directly from the Mint, but at face value... you can't lose.

I went to Square One around 1-2pm and only got 5 of each coin, and 5 collector cards. I had my girlfriend with me so at least we got 5 each. As I was putting them in the folder I noticed a variety. I wasn't even looking with a loupe so there could be more. Here is what I found on the whale quarter without frosting on the baby whales. There were 2 out of 10, so 20% hit rate on a small sample.   |

@fed_ink85, Thanks for the pics. These are nice looking coins for circulation. Nice find too btw! Any indication if there were coloured variations for these coming out?

Thanks. The collector card had four slots, one for both versions of each coin so I doubt a colored coin will be released.

By both versions, I take it one is brilliant and one is frosted?
