I wouldn't trust them, but they could be 100% on the up and up.

Do not trust anything from China! They have destroyed any possibility of ever having an up & up reputation in my book.

Comparing it to the Mint's $15 Lotus, it appears to be a fake. Or at least it is slightly different than the the pics on the Mint's website.
The gold rim is a nice touch though.

I don't know if I would be upset or glad if this is real. I want it to be real because it looks good, but then if it is real, I am extremely PO'd. Canadian collectors are not good enough to get a custom capsule and gold trimming?

RCM Mint rep said these coins were made by a dealer who added the outer ring. Inner coin appears to be legit.

It resembles a phonograph left in a hot car.  |

So they're not "coins", but "coins in holders".

so the golden rim is part of the capsule just like the black foam in air-tite, not part of the coin, that's smart  |

No...that rep lied to you. The coin came like that from the Mint store in Hong Kong. They increased the mintage because they went over seas.
