It bothers me that it's not a renewal of the 1958 SILVER dollar - the original impetus behind the series.

I really like the 1958 reverse and it would show well with the selective gold plate. That said, there are plenty of "silver" dollars they could have chosen... they have not shown great allegiance to the multiple of 5 or 10 year anniversary in the past. I think that the selection of a coin that was never a silver dollar was a mistake, regardless of how timely the subject matter may have been. I won't keep my hopes up for a renewal of the "Matthew" reverse from 1949 next year. |

I really hope to see the 1949 Matthew and 1958 British Columbia Centennial! To your point, vonigohcr, I think both would look amazing with the gold plating in the wooden box.
I hope they get back on track with this series. Originally I was going to get this, then I said no, now I am leaning back to yes.

One week after release, and it is still not sold out at the RCM. That means it reach all levels of MC without selling out. Contrast that with the first renewed silver dollar that sold out in hours and others within a day or two. It tells us several things. They made a big mistake in choosing this coin (which is not even a silver dollar) over the 1958 silver dollar and there is no great demand for this one. Secondly the mintage is way too high at 4000 coins. And 3rd, perhaps the number of MC members have fallen over the years and that may have contributed to no sell out yet. |

It's higher mintage and general lack of interest in most NCLT are the big reasons this coin is not exclusive anymore

It hasn't even sold out at Colonial Acres which is now selling it to the general public. They totally missed the mark with this one but can still redeem themselves with the 1958 or 1949 IMO. |

@YesOrNo the coin is readily available from your LCS or online.

Did this coin even make to general public? Because it is an Exclusive Masters Club coin, I don't think the Royal Canadian Mint would have ever offered it to the general public. |

I don't know if it ever made it the general public but it remained available for sale on the RCM site until near the end of January. In other words, it took almost 3 months for it to sell out. No doubt due to the high mintage of 4000 and unpopular design of the coin. If they had used the 1958 Silver Dollar design, the coin would have sold out much faster. |

Without eliminating importance of a theme, the 2018 wasn't right time to "renew" this coin. This usually happens, when some manager or director, thinks, that he smarter than others. Or...right amount of money to the right person. |

I wonder if this one will be on the Coin Show? Last month there was at least one MC coin.

The 3rd in the series that did not do well in the aftermarket. The same coin that was available at Walmart. I highly doubt this half dollar will be there on TSC because it is too new. The RCM is not supposed to sell to the public until 45 days after release. |
