I like the newest animal coin - but 190$ for a coin with some silver missing (cut out) is not a bargain at all!

The idea behind this design is great:
The series named "Endangered Animal", and with the animal cutout it means, that the particular animal would be missing in this landscape.
I think, unlike Mongolian coin(s) or "cutout" NZ Kiwi coin, here the concept is meaningful and not just purely coin's gimmick.

But...despite above, I just do not find design attractive. Except this, overpriced no reason.

I am not convinced that it is worth $190, with or without the cutout.

Like many RCM offerings - price way too high.

Interesting look at 8 of the coins from the Feb release.

I don't even have words for that butterfly with stuck on crystal heart. The mackerel big dime looks odd too.

Strangely, the egg is the most appealing of that lot other than the large and expensive wolf eyes kilo.

I was not aware of this piece. When I clicked on the topic, I was expecting to see another nohope creation.

Like the reverse side of the coin, but the obverse just looks goofy!

Right when you thought the RCM had gone too far, they do cut out coins. still waiting for the invisible coin, looks like they're getting there

Interestingly, they are charging 2 oz coin prices ($189.95) for a coin weighing less than 2 oz. You would think they would charge a little less considering a big chunk of it is cut out.

I think, you confusing between "no coins" and "invisible coins"

The invisible coin could be touched. So I not sure, that RCM minted these yet.
