JGG Pillar of the Community Canada 798 Posts	Posted 09/07/2015 9:33 pm Thought I'd share one of my favourites here, back when a commemorative coin actually meant something! Now the Mint pumps out commems like food rations. Anyway, with all the changes happening in the Arctic, I saw this one up on ebay and I thought that sharing this with you all might make you a little nostalgic. :) Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12334 Posts	Posted 09/07/2015 11:25 pm I agree, this is an attractive coin (in both versions) and a true commemorative. We had a nice discussion about it a few years back that you might enjoy: https://goccf.com/t/116258 Quote: Now the Mint pumps out commems like food rations I agree with the point you are making. I would also suggest that the term "commems" has unfortunately (and mistakenly) become a generic term for NCLT. I would suggest that most of the NCLT coins the RCM is releasing now are not really commemoratives at all - they are just topical coins with various themes: animals (insects, birds, mammals, etc.), trees, landscapes, weather phenomena, etc. Just my opinion, your mileage may vary.
