Royal Canadian Mint - All five coins feature Emanuel Hahn's classic 25-cent circulation coin design. Each reverse shows the familiar profile view of a caribou in one of five different coin finishes. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

I bought this set but just for two of the coins: the reverse-proof and the matte-proof. The others I will get from the respective sets (Uncirculated, Proof, and Specimen).

I received a delay notification from the RCM today that my order for one of these has an estimated arrival date of Mar 11.

This is actually a really cool idea. But I doubt the RCM will do the same in 2021.

Wouldn't it be nice if they released all varieties of SDs in a single set every year?

I liked the idea of this set, however, if this is "one time thing", would prefer and would buy to 50c set.

Noticed also, or maybe it due to the light condition in the PO - the Proof and Matte Proof are more or less similar (on the proof silver coins the frosting and mirroring are more contrasting).

Agreed. This concept could be extended across all denominations. The RCM needs to provide collectors (i.e. RCM customers) with their intentions and future direction for this concept.

The five coins look different to my eyes!

I think the set is a great educational tool to share with new collectors as well as those who do not collect but might have a mild interest in coins.

I removed coins from Numistastic set so I could see them without the blurry plastic.
Typically, this type of packaging hides low quality coins that RCM puts into Gift sets.
But here I had a pleasant surprise. I rarely see RCM coins of such quality.
BU is MS67 - not a single mark under 10x magnification.
Specimen, Reverse Proof, and Matte Proof are SP69 and PF69 - 1 tiny contact mark each.
I could not find anything wrong with the regular Proof - PF70.
I particularly like the Reverse Proof coin. Mirror polish of devices, legends and rims
makes them to stand out on the matte field.
The mint does itself a disservice by using that cheap packaging.
The coins would shine if placed into a clear acrylic holder. I am thinking of
something similar to 1908-1998 special sets or just the small book style of early 1990's specimen.
And I wish they added the silver proof coin to the set.
That would make the set truly complete and valuable.
