Is the plating bleeding over the Queens right shoulder (and a little higher up on her hair) or is that just an issue with the photo through the capsule?

Yes, indeed.

But there's good news for anyone with a memory beyond this month's releases. That is Easter is over and pysankas appear to be dropping in price, some have recently sold for $250 and ebay listings continue to grow everyday. Presently there are 26 up for sale.

Good eye CCOttawa

There is bleed over into the frosted area of the Queen on
the obverse but the Inukshuk is clean. Must be a coating
on the Frosted part before plating that was misaligned.

I have a number of pics so it is not the plastic.
A close up shot of the shoulder to the neck.

Basically, no one even paid attention to this coin, till the fact that "78% sold from the RCM" started to spread....

Maybe not 'no one'.

I ordered it within 20 minutes of receiving the advance notice e-mail from my rep.

Just noticed that mine shipped today from the RCM.

Yeah, I know, people who wanted it in the collection cause liked it, ordered shortly after Rep mail arrived,
but many "picked up for any case" after buzz started :)

Personal taste preferences so strong here,a s in any collection related hobby.

I predicted the coin could be a hit in the April Release thread. Like CC-Ottawa I ordered right away.

From March 30, page 7, my post:

People seem to be focusing on the water droplet coin while the reverse gold plated Inukshuk coin is flying under the radar. It could be the sleeper hit for April.



So far this year we had one hit per month. Feb, the Pysanka, March, Cherry Blossum, April, Inukshuk. The mother earth coin pretty much has disappeared. No big interest in that one.

Cherry Blossom and Inukshuk can't be a hit yet

They've raised in price a little bit, but it's all.
Cherry Blossom still available at CC&C and looks like the pike is over.
Inukshuk is still fresh.

Let them wait just couple of months, and we can see - will they really stay the hits.

That's exactly what happened to me. I liked the Mother Earth coin and didn't pay much attention to the Inukshuk at first. But then it started growing on me.

Bought both a week before public release because I like them.

Good call, MoneyPenny .

This is what I meant "personal preference"

For me the coin can't "grow on me", it catches my attention and I want it. Otherwise, if no spark occurred - means not mine.
Ofcause, if I collect the series, the less attractive coins in the series also will be purchased.

Sometimes the coins that grow on me are more desired than the ones that initially catch my attention.

I have other Inukshuk coins, so it will compliment it nicely.
