i bought mine from my CP counter. At first the post master gave me a call saying I've got your coin, you can come pick it up. When I got there she told me she was going to return them all and reorder because they were all broken. I didn't ask to see the damage. shoud've. But anyway 1 week later she called be back to say the new one is in.

The only 'damaged' coins I ever got from Canada Post was a few years back. They were dumping their Early 1998 - 2005 Oh Canada series onto ebay some of the cases were cracked - I picked up one of each for about $5.00 with free shipping. |

Just noticed that the status on this one is now "Awaiting Stock" on the RCM web site. Wonder if it's a temporary situation or if the coin is essentially sold out at the RCM. I don't see it listed on the Canada Post site anymore either. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Yeah, if it sells out quickly, will the Mint reconsider making this the last in the series? I'm not terribly surprised Canada Post doesn't have it--they stopped listing the previous coins in the series when the Mint still had them up on the website. I note it's still available at the three boutiques, however, so it may only be temporary. Unlike the meadowlark, where they say 78% sold, there is no sold percentage given for Tiktaalik so that *may* indicate a temporary situation.

72% Sold out. Confirms my opinion that its a miss. I thought the point of these was to sell coins and get interest from the younger crowd. I wonder how fast a "Mainstream" Dino would have sold out. Maybe a cool Albertasaurus or even an Edmontonsaurus.

The power of positive thinking, not really one of the top ten dinos in my books but hey looks like a good coin, great prediction and welcome.

Not to resurrect the old topic, but interesting thought: In the 2011 it was really novelty and demand was huge. In the 2012 the demand was close to '0' and re-sellers remain with terrific amount of unsold coins. And at 2014 the series ended, became history, since then no one surprised with GITD stuff. And suddenly in 2016 / 2017, Austrian Mint starts to issue 12 coin series of CuNi GITD with doubtful design mintage of 50.000 and this stuff becomes hot like I don't know what. Where from they took the buyers for this?  And all happens, when we have increased variety of everything from everywhere.... Will the RCM coins be popular, if our mint will decide on similar?Edited by Silveroid
