Got rolls of these Canadian Flag coins which are supposed to be mixed colored and non colored in the same roll. These all appear to be non colored according to the coins I can see on the ends. Does anyone know if the colored flag coin comes in separate rolls from the non colored?

I just got my ten flag quarters that I ordered some time ago from the mint.

I just mine a couple of days ago as well. I proudly showed them to my husband and said "Aren't these great, I ordered them from the mint and they only cost two-fifty." After he looked at them (and scowled) he said "Do you really think they're worth it?" I'm going "huh? Ten times 25c is two-fifty." Then I figured out that he though that I had paid $250.00 for them!

For the people who missed out on the 25-cent circulation 10-pack from the RCM, Canadian Coin & Currency has them in stock again. Unfortunately, they are charging $9.99 instead of $2.50 from the Mint. Free shipping ends Aug.3rd, but I still think it's a lot of money for 10 quarters. http://www.cdncoin.com

Yes, although not a limited mintage, but rare. From the perspective, that unless you going somewhere to the exchanges, you just can't get these packs at face value. Only multiple accounts at RCM... So, Colonial Acres has them in stock, but selling via ebay. Item ID = 381340791148.

My packs came in the mail today. Still waiting on the collector card ordered through the mint.

Still waiting for my sets and the cards. I did have a quick look at my sister's set, the plain quarter is nicer in hand than any of the pictures I've seen of it. Does it have frosted accents like they did on the 1812 bicentennial & 2013 quarters?

Canadian Coin & Currency have the 10-packs available again, but are selling for $14.95! They must have read my post yesterday when I said $9.99 was expensive.  That is a 500% markup from a face value of $2.50. Who knows, they might be selling for $20 by the end of the week.

Yes indeed, the flag on the plain quarter is frosted in the same areas that would normally be red coloured.

Thanks wildflowerAB. I thought so but only had a quick look in regular room lighting so I couldn't tell for sure.

It appears the 2015 Canadian Flag 25 cent 10 pack is available for purchase again on the RCM Website for ANYONE....not Masters Clubs Members only. My wife just ordered one, limit is still one.

Thanks for the heads up, my grandson wanted a set as well. Ships Sept 19th, the mint must be slowly churning them out.
