NCLT Coins Are Not Legal Tender, Including The $20 For $20

Gotta love the double-speak there. "This is legal tender that you can't take to your bank."

I love my 2nd home, Canada, and I love my Canadian NCLT (but I'm also quite frank that the quality, by my standards, does not match the price with many of the coins in my collection). Yes, it's disappointing.

I've been looking more closely at the US Mint and Perth Mint... a month or two back I picked-up the Perth Year of the Monkey 1 oz. silver and it's not the sharpest coin in my collection, but it gives every single RCM coin I have a run for it's money, especially when you consider price... 1 oz. BU @ 41.00 that's cleaner than many RCM numbered releases (i.e. their baby: specimen) at 2x the price.

Hopefully someone from the mint is still keeping tabs here... It seems they're affecting their customers, whether new or long-standing, in generally negative ways with a variety of their practices, i.e. sales tactics, pricing, confusion, questionable quality control (honestly, I think they fired QA/QC because they figure it's cheaper to process the returns than it is to pay somebody to prevent them).
