Pretty pathetic. I honestly wouldn't wait in line for 30 minutes for one of these tokens but the people who got in a line that was that long knew what they were getting into. And then to try to get into the store 30 minutes before closing when the store was already full? Be disappointed and walk away. Show up earlier next time. Not sure what they thought moaning at the Mint employee wad going to get them.

Anyway, if this is the token, it's not much to look at. If certainly doesn't compare to the one struck in the video posted in the first post of this thread and was worth about what people who did get them paid for them.

The 150 looks as if it was partial struck a second time.

Nope - the hammer die bounces after the initial strike... almost all of them look like that.

Thanks AgCoinAu. Yes it was nice of them. I was chatting with a senior fellow, who was a casual NCLT collector. From the front of the counter, the topic of the conversation turn to the Canada 150 day and how busy it was. We both missed out that day. The lady working on the other side of the counter heard us talking, she offered a couple of Canada 150 tokens for both of us. There was a small pile left over. We both gladly accepted.

A thumbs up for the RCM Mint - Winnipeg employee.
