Yep got mine the other day. Have to say the packaging is much improved. No longer in a sealed air bubble type of package. The coin are enclosed in a hard blister type plastic, which I figure will protect the coins better
I'm not a fan of the blister type package, but the set looks very attractive. The old packaging was easier to bust open for the single coins to put in 2x2's.
No die damage on my once cent but I do see a small red thread underneath the bubble packaging directly sitting on the coin. By the way, why do they have a notation on the packaging that reads BLUENOSE copyright Bluenose 11 Preservation trust 2010?
I got the specimen set last week at our local Jean Coutu(Canada post outlet inside the store). I didnt see it on display and figured it wouldn't be out yet since RCM was advertising pre-order or something. But I took a chance and asked if they received it, and yep, they had it in the back. Nice looking northern harrier on the dollar.

I don't know exactly, but they are the trust that looks after any licensing of the Bluenose schooner. I have no idea if any kind of royalty or anything has to be paid to them or not. Perhaps the notation is sufficient when it comes to the RCM. http://www.bluenose2.ns.ca/TheTrust...heTrust.html
