I have them reserved at a bunch of P/O's being first in line at all of them but none of them are guaranteed to get them.They can all put in an order but it does not mean they will get them same situation as butterfly most post offices I went to were not able to get any even though they put in a order. That's why I go to as many as possible up the odds of getting a couple

Yaay....went to the post office today and was told by the coin lady,that she was able to get 4 of them...Myself and another guy from work get first dibs!...she even told me that I get to cherry pick the one I want! The thought of getting another crossed my mind,however I decided to leave it for somebody else to have a good day and get a coin at issue price.
Cheers,WJ

The opportunity to obtain the frog coin from local post offices is gone as a couple of post offices told me they are unable to order the coins because they are sold out. A couple of other post offices said the orders went through because they ordered early. But based on past experience, I won't be sure I will get them until I have them in hand. Last year orders went through but still were cancelled.

Don't you afraid, guys, that all your orders will went through and you might stuck with extra frog coins, that people will be ready to pay (on ebay) issue price only? Same like it was with all previous glass coins. I hope for you, that you will be able to resell it for good price, but who knows...

Wow release day for frog coin and absolutely quiet! Is everyone asleep ? What a stark contrast to all the excitement over last yrs butterfly coin! There were tons of pages generated, it's amazing the change a yr can bring, very little excitement on RCM releases. It's almost like a non event. I never thought to see such a huge pendulum swing in 1 yr regarding Nclt coins. Anyone care to predict which way the pendulum will swing next April release. It's like the greatest April fools joke.

If everybody buy 3 of them, it will sold out quickly, but if everybody try to sell them in the after market at the same time, the price will stay at the issue price... It's a dead money deal if you ask for my opinion...

haha pocket_change, a little in a hurry for excitement! ;) First, a lot more information has already been discussed for weeks now. Second, MC releases are more in the afternoon now, which is lame that they don't have a precise release time.
Mlalonde, the limit is 2 as of now. But they lowered it to 1 on the MC release day last year for the butterfly.

I called the mint 10 minutes after it opened. I still had to waits 20 minutes. I got 2 coins, 1 is for a friend in the states. He missed out last yr do to credit card issues. Last yr there was pages of discussion. I was expecting something like there was on superman coins. It just makes it more interesting. I wonder how the Pre order through reps will impact the release of the frog coin. Will it lessen the chance of website crashes when it goes live. I wonder if there will be enough coins this year? Just things I'm curious about, it's kinds of fun being part of the release this yr. I do wonder how the photo will compare to the coin in hand. I hope it's not another candy cane. I hope the frog is a nice size and the colors pop.
