Nowhere does it say the maple series will be 4 seasons it says it is a maple canopy series which means something totally different than seasons

This is you correct here... The seasons is just more simple logical choice. Should be something that identifies the series.

When the RCM adds the name of a season to the name/title of each of the coins released so far, it's not much of a leap to believe a different season would follow. From the RCM web site: 1 oz Fine Silver Coin - Canadian Maple Canopy (Spring)
Fine Silver Coin - Canadian Maple Canopy (Autumn)

I agree unclear on RCM part I also at first thought it was seasons but spring and autumn were release dates only they should of been more clear but when does the RCM care about it's customers they pull stunts like this all the time. |

If they intended to make it 'seasonal' I remain very disappointed in the Autumn coin. With all of the options, photographs, and artists to choose from, and they used a 'bare tree' and only two leaves to indicate 'falling leaves'? They really should have used a maple in full fall glory - not this pathetic image.
I was sincerely hoping that they had mis-named it, and it (the bare tree) should have represented the winter - spring should have had buds, and/or a maple syrup bucket, Summer the full green foliage, with fall the finale of glorious colour for Autumn/Fall.

2014 Maple Canopy on eBay (need to say - looks good): http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAPLE-CANOP...em461cc037d62014 Venetian Glass Frog on eBay - pay attention to price: http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-FINE-SIL...em461cc01d71 br / I liked his listings - looks like the seller just wants to support his MC account...bravo  Added: Looked again on "Maple Canopy" image...hmmm...it reminds me something else, not the tree. But leafs looks very alive. Need to see in person. Why the Mint gave to this artist to continue with the 3-rd coin, after his "Autumn" coin, why?

After fees, etc. the seller will be barely above water. Why even bother? I can save more money by one time just making a lunch sandwich at home instead of going out for lunch.

For me, it will be a loss since I pay PST on top of the $150 which means my cost is $160 per coin. Edited by MoneyPenney

Because you go to your local PO, keep the relationship with the stuff there, time...etc Which all from above not bad at all, since you enjoy it and get what you want. But the guy, gets the same with the few mails and clicks on the PC...well, he still goes to PO to ship the coins. |
