Colonial Acres listed the April release.

I got the email at 10:24, immediately checked, but the Glass Frog already "Out of Stock"

Why is everyone ordering multiples? Is the coin expected to do well?

Hoarding again....maybe it will do well.

I believe some of the MC ordered coins also for their non-MC friends....

Have multiples of the previous coins, and the stories of cancelled orders made me hedge bets by ordering from multiple sources. Dunno if it going to do well as an investment but the latest pics I've seen tell me it will be a rather nice coin for my collection.

^^^its got 3 shades of green...the olive colored green in its body even has some nice looking sparkles inside the glass!...it does have a white throat,but not as prevalent as your glass speciman.....lots of real frogs are white in color under there necks/bodys.

Very realistic looking glass frog...IMO

Just back to Canada after a long business trip. Miss a chance to grap a frog coin.
I am not rush on this one. Will get it later on.

Just have a question:
" Do you think this frog coin is belong to the previous 3 in the series? (Bug, Bee, Butterfly) "

Lostwords have post a pic of all 4 coins all together on other forum. Thanks for that Lostwords!

Have a look at those 4 coins, we will see the first 3 are insects with wings. But the lasted one (4th) is the frog.
I don't know what do you all think about this.
But to me, it is weird to say the frog coin is the 4th in the flower and insect series.

But if say it is the 5th Venetian Glass coin. That is the different story.

Just my 2 cents. :)

No, but you have kind of have to go with that the Mint says:

"This is the fourth coin of a much sought-after series featuring hand-crafted Venetian glass creatures"

Notice that they changed the name of the series. Previously, for the butterfly is was:

"This is the third coin of a much sought-after series featuring hand-crafted Venetian glass insects"
