Thanks!
Placed order for the bumble bee.
Was browsing the other coins, then the site went down for maintenance. Got an email confirmation for the order though.

I'm not a masters club member so I'm gunna have to wait until next week but do you guys think that there are any coins that won't make it to the general release? I'm thinking maybe the bumblebee. The Stormy Weather coin has kind of a low mintage too but I don't know how popular it will be.

@ztt2, you don't need to wait until next week. If you want to order any of the coins today, just call the mint and place the order via telephone.

Just curious is the 25c dinosaur part of last years Mythical Creatures, part of some new series, or just a random coin? |

Ordered several coins just after midnight. Quote:Just curious is the 25c dinosaur part of last years Mythical Creatures, part of some new series, or just a random coin? Per the description, it's a new series: New Series! The Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai dinosaur coin is the first in a 4-coin Prehistoric Creature glow-in-the-dark (photo-luminescent) series! As far as sell outs: I'd be surprised if there are any that don't survive Masters Club week but I suspect the glass bee will be sold out by noon of next Monday's general release. I think that has less to do with the coin and more a result of speculators trying to make a quick profit. |

Had to add these two detailed pictures. If these coins look as nice in hand as the photos, they may be the sleepers in this new issue. The painted bee quarter looks 100% better than the glass one IMO.  I also think that this bird coin is the nicest of the flock so far.  BTW, these new coins are supposed to start shipping April 16th. I find that hard to believe given the shipping delays on other coins lately. |

Would someone be so kind as to post a larger/more detailed image of the 1812 gold coin? And maybe the description of the coin?
Thanks much!

Actually I was kind of interested in this one as well. Pretty decent value for 1/4oz gold (for a mint product). Here you go:  1/4 ounce of fine gold (99.99% pure).

Special features: • GST/HST exempt. • Limited to 2,000 coins worldwide. • Hand polished!
