Hey, From what I have read is that each roll contains a mixture of the 4 coins. I recently was able to make a trade for 5 rolls so looking forward in checking them out :). Also found the link on the RCM website to make an order for some envelopes. --James |

Just came back from the grocery store. I got .50 change. She opened a new roll and handed me the quarters. They were both this new arctic quarters which I had no idea about until right now. I almost want to go back and get a roll from the store but I was happy that I got 2 varieties of the arctic symbol. If they are circulation strikes, I can be patient to find them but also would love to have them uncirculated. Maybe tomorrow :-)

well turns out I bought the wrong coffee for my wife so I ended up back at the grocery store today exchanging. Sooooooo I guess while I was already there... haha... I asked if they had another roll and they had 1 roll left. I bought it and checked it out. Quote:

There were all 4 designs in there. Frosted and unfrosted expeditions and 2 different partial frosted whales. I have not seen a fully frosted whale as previously mentioned. @ Canadiancoins.... The frosted arctic symbol. Is the whole thing frosted? Edited by samsnate

Received 10 sets. I don't think I have this one: "Arctic Symbols (not frosted, the lower fin near the head IS frosted" but I did get a flipped coin:  |

Received mine yesterday as well, and I don't have it either. But then again I haven't searched my rolls (and am not planning to).

Thanks, the pics helped a lot.
what I have is ten sets 120 coins.
30 - Arctic Expedition (not frosted)
30 - Arctic Expedition (frosted)
30 - Arctic Symbols (frosted on the 2 belugas)
30 - Arctic Symbols (no frosting on the 2 belugas, the lower fin on the large bowhead whale near the head IS frosted)
and;
0 -Arctic Symbols (no frost on the 2 belugas, the lower fin the large bowhead near the head is not frosted)
Maybe this variety is only in rolls? (Or I'm just unlucky).
(note that the smaller whales are not baby whales - they are a separate type of whale)

The larger one is a Bowhead whale (sometimes called a right whale) not a Blue Whale.
