Has anyone received the 3rd coin in the series yet? Looks like RCM has started to ship. How does the coin look in hand?

My order shows a new line for the coin as of April 7th but no indication that it shipped.

I guess my credit card on file at RCM expired and they want me to call them so they can charge me and send me this coin. They are peppering emails every other day. Stupid thing is that I updated my profile and entered the new date plus they had a secondary card on file. I dunno, maybe they want to send me something free. I'll call them on Friday.

That is a nice looking coin, the design and engraving really brings it to life.

Very high quality picture too, thanks for sharing shopaholic.

Mine arrived today...and it's damaged.



This will be my first time returning a coin to the Mint after more than a decade and hundreds of coins ordered.

CC what is the problem ? I am expecting mine tomorrow. I know how they were stuffing the COA's in the sleeve. Something different this time ?

The coin has a 'spot'. Looks like a hole with rust around it when magnified. But it is also very visible to the naked eye.

I also find it odd that Marc Brule's signature is still on the COA.

Sandra Hanington has been the a CEO for over two months yet her name hasn't made it to the COA yet. I wouldn't have thought they printed COAs so far in advance of new coins.

The last coin in the series "Sportfish: Rainbow Trout" just arrived today.

I like this coin very much. The detail and engraving is simply magnificent.

Reusing the mint's description:
"Designed by Canadian artist Curtis Atwater, your coin presents a portrait of a rainbow trout in its natural habitat. The image centres around the rainbow trout, viewed from its left side. The front of its body is angled toward the viewer while its tail curls behind it and to the left in the background. This presentation highlights the trout's unique torpedo-shaped body with small head, characteristic speckling, and shaded stripe along its side. The fish hovers near a fallen tree branch, which fills the background, in a shallow, gravel-bottomed river."
