@New1954 Did you receive cancellation e-mail from RCM? or just cancellation displays next to your order number in RCM's system? I checked my RCM account again, so far, both orders ( in same account ) show " processing ". I have different name + different address under both orders BUT within same Platinum Prestige account.

@justsilver I believe that you are safe because of the different names. I actually received a cancellation notice from RCM stating my web order has been cancelled with no explanation:((((( THEY CAUGHT ME!! LOL Good luck to you justsilver:)))) I am curious how you set up two different names on one platinum prestige account. I want to learn.

@New1954 Easy Order 1 from rep, rep will place order based on your MC profile ( name & address ) Then web order another one, checkout directly through Paypal checkout. RCM web order's name & address through Paypal will be same info as Paypal's ( which is different than RCM's in my case )

@new1954 Quote:If you used the same account to order the second on RCM website, you may get a cancellation order. I did. Not necessarily. For the Library of Parliament coin, I placed one through my rep and one online. Received both. The one from my rep came 2 weeks later and the one online took 2 months. For the 50 cent renewed, I did the same. So far the 2nd has not been cancelled. In the both cases, same name, same address. You must be very unlucky to get 2nd one cancelled. From what I read in this forum, lots of people got more than one MC exclusive coin by ordering through both rep and online. My guess is there is two streams of ordering; one through your rep and one through online. Reps get an allotment of coins and the rest are online. To catch you they need would need to match orders with names/or addresses. Since orders are by order number they would have to go through hundreds or thousands of orders to find who ordered than one.

@MoneyPenney After the RCM cancelled my web order, I tried to place another coin web order and it clearly stated: "You already have one. Only one per household". I guess it must be just me:(((((

@New1954,
I think they are referring to the weborder just cancelled because, after all, you did place an order online. Once you place an order online they have a record of it. Through cookies maybe.
It is the same automated response I get when I try to order online more than the limit for any coin.
I remember the Lucky Loonie 5 pack had 1 per household limit in the beginning. So I order 1 pack. Went back a few minutes later, try to place another order, and it said, "you already have one. Only one per household".
It appears to be 2 streams of ordering, through your rep and online. They would have to comb through many orders to find people exceeding the limit. Will it they do it for up to 4000 orders? Doubtful.

@MoneyPenney It does not make sense. I ordered one through rep on Monday. The next day, I ordered one online and the RCM sent me an order confirmation. The day after that, the RCM sent me a cancellation notice. Then I tried to place an online order again and it stated the one per household rule. So, if you say that the reps have allotments and the web have their own allotments, why was my online order cancelled and all the others who ordered one online as well as one with their rep not get the web order cancelled? It is a mystery:)))))

@New1954 Its possible they do random checks on orders and they caught you ordering more than one. You were just unlucky. Another person on this forum ordered 7 of the Library of Parliament coins and got all of them. And yet you could not get a 2nd one. Go figure. For this coin, did anyone get more than one from the RCM?

Can I assume from all the pages here, that people not specially care about this coin design and the reason of commemoration (no reason actually), but purchased it cause it MC Exclusive and has limited mintage?

I purchased it because I like the traditional design, the gold plating looks great, and it comes with a nice display box.
Like others, I am scaling back on what I purchase, so the fact that it may at least hold its value is a very appealing factor but not the only one.
If this MC exclusive was the Pysanka coin I would have passed as it doesn't fit in to my narrowed focus.

Agree with @canuck1us...I like the traditional design and gold plating. Going to be framing them with their original proof coin counterparts.

Quote: Agree with @canuck1us...I like the traditional design Will agree as well. Just for this coin it isn't the first replication. That's why I even didn't try to get it. Quote: Going to be framing them with their original proof coin counterparts Do you have 1917 Proof Half Dollar, or you referring to 1908-1998 Proof Half or circulation 1917 ?

I think there's a lot of others just like you. But notice how MC membership can cause people to spend their money on something they wouldn't ordinarily be interested in, only because others can't buy it?
