Thanks Darryl, But still... the pictures don't do justice to the coin in hand. I should also mention the high quality of the wooden box which has a nice presentation pad holding the coin that comes out of the box. Also, for once, the capsule can actually come out without requiring forceps.

Stunning photos especially with the 2010 dollar to compare. I'm  to see the 1949 & 1958. Its going to be a long wait. Also need to think how much too spend on MC membership. Wouldn't be too bad if they offered some cool low mintage coins. This year very uninspired with exceptions of remembrance & Canada flag coins.

I was going to sell the one I got to help put towards next semesters tuition but after seeing it in hand I think it's going to stay with me.

Its interesting, how many are being sold. You'd think people would keep these given how low the mintage is. I can understand with the master of the skies, as its not a hard coin to get. I'm amazed by the glass ladybug up to $1100 already. Looks like it will be awhile before it and this coin hit bullion value. Bromberg has the big five coins selling for $1100 on shopping channel, that's a surprizing jump.

This coin seems to be a hit, with people already offering $400 on the other forum. Where will it hit by the release of the last one. The platinum members did get a true reward. Will this stimulate collectors to hit platinum levels. What will dealers be selling the coin for. I think the entire mintage should of gone to master club to be fair!! I still cannot log in and read the reviews on this coin. Any silver member with this issue.

The overall rating is 4.5 out of 5.0. The words used to describe the coin include, "Absolutely Beautiful", "Superb coin", "A definite keeper", "Top Coin of the Year".

My friend is not even a MC, but he called RCM, gave an item ID and told that he want to speak with "supervisor" - they've sold the coin to him after 5 minutes of conversation. While he not fun of it (collects mostly circulation stuff), he plan to resell the coin. I admit, that coin has a stunning look, but not way over 2010 SD. Low mintage? Only by RCM definitions. If to put aside the hype factor and high re-sell value, but to follow the craftsmanship, I would rank the coin after (affordable and for this year): ***Masks set - this is true piece of art ***Big Nickel / Big 50 cent piece - designs that never die

The RCM dealers just doesn't need the last 220 coins of this issue, it's suppose to be a mc reward, and how some pp mc were not able to order is crazy policy, also non mc ordering is just as bad. As for Mr. Bromberg being able to sell the first big loonie now for 1100.00, shows just how good of a salesman he is, you can almost buy as many as you want on ebay for around 700.00

But the idea was very close to true reward. People spent big money with RCM, and mint managed (sorry for eligible, but those who didn't get) to satisfy almost all.

On other forum offer from a member, that will sell coin for CAD 400 cash, locally in Toronto. I think - good deal, and better to hurry up and get it for 400, rather wait for prices around 600+.
But not need to forget, prices have to stabilize, when the people, as well dealers, will have the coins "in hand".
