Yeah, I worded my question wrong sorry about the confusion. What I meant to say was I don't usually buy coins that don't contain a lot of PM so that's why I was unsure about purchasing this coin. I like the design and I think for the price, size and low mintage it's worth buying despite the lack of PM.

First picture of the 2 versions side by side.  Funny, the reflections make the coins look transparent. |

I prefer the first one, it's more elegant. Nice pictures and coins CC-Ottawa, that means you will have double good luck |

lol. I noticed the transparent thing - figured I used that pic because of the interesting effect.  Personally, I'm now torn as to which looks best but after having them side by side, I'm leaning towards the RCM version. I thought the CP would look better and be a little larger. One thing I noticed with the CP box is the lack of anywhere to put the COA when the box is open. Hope you're right about the double luck arianzo. Could really use it for 2014 given that 2013 was not a great year for me. Edited by CC-Ottawa

I also received my CP coin today. I'm not sure which version I like more. The lack of even a ribbon or slot to place the COA in the CP version is unfortunate. But the inclusion of the stamp makes up for it. One of the few good things is that I received a COA with nary a number four to be found anywhere.

The Mint should have minted 13,888 coins or something like that instead of 14,888 so that not every COA has a number 4 in it. I know it's just total mintage, but why does it have to be 14,888 anyways? Despite that, I bought one of each version and coincidently, I got lucky on something just right after the mailman delivered my RCM version. Makes me wonder sometimes.  |

Forget that the entire mintage has a four tainting all COAs. I agree with Mrpiedfort, the mint should have minted anything but 14,888. Perhaps a total mintage of 18,888 would have been particularly auspicious |

Makes me wonder sometimes wow, makes me want to buy one too in Chinese, different words can have same pronunciation, 14888 means "good fortune throughout whole life" |

IMO one of the best designed Chinese/Asian-themed coins from the RCM in years. Was going to say that too bad it's not pure silver, but considering the price that the RCM is charging for 1oz silver NCLT these days, I'm actually quite glad. Please, a silver plated lead coin next time |

Bought 2 from CA, 5% tax and 5% discount, I don't think I will order coins from RCM any more. it will be much better if this is a 5oz coin and mintage 888 |
