I too will be passing. I'd rather get new August coins.

We will buy coins from RCM, as well from other mints, even if they'll mint 1.000 per year, but only a "special few" in the year. And the nice selection of old coins - always available - covered by dust and toning in collections everywhere. |

Where's Kake?
I don't want to be disrespectful, I'm okay with the Royals and please don't let my comment start a political debate it is not my intention but if I was not aware of the Royal family my first thought on seeing the coin is a progressive coin depicting a same sex marrage with the grandmother sitting there in approval.
I'm cool with that, it would be a great statement from a progressive country.
Again no disrespect, this is what I first saw on viewing the coin.
So where is Kate?

Just check the other forum, and probably ask for the tips.
The guys there had some experience with gold/silver HOF coins.
I would like also to get something....most likely, the Silver set.

Kate is not represented because is a celebration of George's Royal blood line. As was said, 4 generations of Royals. It's unlikely that these coins will be popular but they certainly are getting lost of media exposure. I don't know anyone who specifically collects Royal coins and include myself as a non-collector of them. Aside: US Mint ships to Canada generally via FedEx. They charge 14.95 plus 2.95 for each additional item in US dollars. Of course, they collect tax and brokerage if applicable. No real need to go to the 'other forum' or mix topics. There are threads right here with lots of information. Here's one: https://goccf.com/t/181133Edited by CC-Ottawa

Another piece of garbage to add to the existing collection. I wish the coin was centred on Prince George.

Tough crowd. So anyone buying NCLT is a 'sheeple'? Incidentally, that's quite possibly the most overused and condescending non word on the Internet - worse than 'lol' IMO  And, these are all garbage. Is that about it? What do you think? Can I dump them in black box or the blue box? We have a great green bin program in Ottawa for compostable materials too - maybe they can go there? I'd hate to see them just clogging up the landfill.  |

I feel sorry for prince George being born to a devil's worshipping family.

Tough crowd. Indeed! BTW: I've decided to continue keeping my RCM NCLT in coin trays vs. the garbage bin. I find the trays make it easier to view the coins and they generally keep the coins clear of coffee grounds and discarded chicken bones. I know doing so is not very "sheeple" of me, but it makes me happy.  Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Am I the only one going to say it? The queens husband really gets the shafted on everything. I'm not an expert but it seems odd that the biological father of price charles be excluded from almost everything.
I only bring this up because a while back I remember asking who that guy is that walks behind her all the time. I'm a little ashamed to admit it but I always just assumed the king passed. So I googled it and there he was Price Phillip. She must crack a mean whip.
