commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12290 Posts	Posted 02/05/2016 11:26 pm A friend asked me to pick up one of the new Bluebird coins for him... I'm not much of a painted coin collector, but I have to admit that the RCM did quite a nice job with this one. Vibrant colors on the bird and nicely engraved background. If this coin is an indicator of what's to come in this four-coin series, I think RCM bird coin aficionados are going to be happy. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 02/06/2016 12:06 am That's a beautiful coin, it captures what becomes a flush of vivid blue extremely well! I hadn't noticed the nesting box before, a thoughtful added touch. Nesting boxes are a common sight where I live in Alberta. Conservation groups are very active in building them and nailing them to fence posts in rural areas to help offset the loss of natural habitat. In turn that enables the Bluebird to continue to maintain healthy populations. Report this Post to the Staff
pocket change 50 Pillar of the Community Canada 1751 Posts	Posted 02/07/2016 7:59 pm I may need to give this coin another look. Seeing a coin in hand is so much better. I didn't think much of the mint image. Both the setting and the bird is nicely done. The bird almost flies off the coin, the color seems to be improving. Report this Post to the Staff
