Compare the 2010 Piedfort to the 2008 anniversary SML. The '08 is much better and has a significantly better upside. As will the 2013.
BTW, expect more 25th anny coins to be issued in 2013. Just my opinion.

I agree about design of 08' Anniversary Maple Leaf - it is looks better, than Piedfort. But except this, in my opinion, in overall liked more Piedfort coin and 2013 for their reverse proof finish.
All of these - have something special and unique.

Thanks jsinger21.
Although we all know, how it looks like, but the better view it of real coin.
As I said previously - it may help to decide to buy an item, or prevent unnecessary purchase.

thanks Jupitermoon for the photos. I will just wait for the next offer from RCM, a 2oz piedfort maple leaf, or a 25 oz maple leaf...? anyone remember the 1998 10oz maple leaf? I bought one several month ago for $450, cheaper than the 5oz penny:) |

Thank you for your great picture, Jupitermoon. I've bought the set yesterday (before looking at this thread). I agree about the presentation box complaint though. They may release a different set with better presentation box. I think it's a good set and would go well with my 25th Anniversary ASE set. |

I'm impressed at the RCM for their quick process. I got the mail package on Friday last week and the set quality is impeccable. The set was not as fancy or unique as one would expect for a 25th Annie set. As many have noted, a maple/wooden lacquer box would make a big different. I also have to agree that the extra two leaves on the maple is clustering and cumbersome. On the plus side: The groove to display the set is good. The younger Elizabeth II design is good, but I would have been nicer if it was dual face (of the current Elizabeth II design and the 1988 design). Overall, the set is good. I would expect there are always flaws in any design/concept and it's very hard to satisfy all collectors. |

Expensive plastic. A full set just went for $260 on ebay.  Must be a full moon. |

I've been tempting to buy this set for a long while now. I don't own any SML. I saw the The Queen's Diamond Jubilee - 2012 Royal Silver 3-Coin Set today and wish the SMl set is in the same box as that.
