The mint got to stop abusing the term "first." Yawn

"Replica" SMLs never do very well on the secondary market since many collectors are reluctant to pay up to 5x the price of real SMLs. Not surprised that the RCM came ups with a 150th Anniversary of Canada themed SML. I am sure there will be tons of 150th related coins to come. Surely there will be some link to the 150th anniversary for fractional SMLs coming soon. Or a 150th anniversary privy for the SML. Edited by MoneyPenney

2017 - Zodiac Series #1 - Capricorn - $3 Pure Silver Coin Swarovski Crystal
This is something new, the level is similar to Birthstone coins.
Not possible to get via the Mint (at least I didn't see it there)
To see the design, order the coin and might be some other items - check out Coin 4 Fun store....

It was not even December yet and the Mint is already rolling out the 2nd coin in the 10 oz "Sculpture of Majestic Canadian Animals" series. Shipment date is February! http://www.mint.ca/store/coins/pure...-prod2860011This one is the Cougar, somehow it is available for all to order, not just MC. Here is a pic:  With the belly of the cougar touching the ground, it looks a bit messy to me. |

 It looks very rough. I'm also curious, at what point do we do we draw the line between a coin and a sculpture? Edited by Mikesnickname

But probably, we should send some of our spares (instead of immediate flipping) to the grading company, to see, will be the coins accepted. |

These are nice..nails, I mean.
Do not believe in accidental strike.
I think, the employee(s) by someone request did it one time only, in order not to be suspected and not "overproduce" the unique item.
this reminds me the childhood, when we used to put on the railway track small coins. Too bad I had no clue that time about "error" coins.

While I'm a fan of unique coins, I think the mint is inching towards a "JUMP THE SHARK" release.

"inching toward"? The mint vaulted over that Great White years ago.

Maybe, but I think the "JUMP THE SHARK" moment will be disruptive, embarrassing to the mint and will change the course of coin releases.
