But just so you know there are 4 more twoonies in the series to be released


Looking at this:

it seems to me that the next four releases will be quarters and not Toonies.

Good eye. Those look like the side view of quarters. I hope the don't change it to quarters. I was looking forward to a twoonie series. They don't mention what denomination they will be.

I think it is safe to say they will be quarters.

I received my three packs of the War of 1812 Two Dollar coins. My one comment is that on the whole, they are pretty baggy (especially on the queen's face which I understand is a prime focal area). More than a few have sizable rim nicks. I'm a novice collector, and I grade most of these coins as MS-63, and a couple possibly as MS-64. No gems out of the fifteen. Has my experience been similar to that of other collectors who ordered these 5-coin packs? I was hoping to get a nice MS-65 or two, but I guess circulation strikes are typically pretty baggy? Still, they are beautiful coins (I love the design:) And how can I complain when I bought them at face value. I wish the US Mint would have similar product offerings, but alas, I know that will never happen. Thanks for letting me share my experiences and post my questions. This is an informative and super-friendly forum:)

Welcome sturmgrenadier, the 5 packs are technically made for circulation, they are quickly processed and dumped into large bins, scratching/rubbing occurs. Just like the business struck coin rolls. I noticed the scratches a lot more on my lucky loonies 5 packs, but face value, free shipping (in Canada) and sealed makes it a great value.
