I know it's not a Canadian coin, but have any of you guys thought about picking this up for your collection?

I'm looking at it. Just need to check my funds as Greenland isn't represented in my collection.

Became aware of this coin through Talisman's email a few months ago. Mintage only 950 and the design looks nice. If I had more spending money, I wouldn't mind getting it.

@brades: Do you mind telling us from where you bought the coin? From Talisman like the OP's link? Or somewhere with cheaper shipping cost? :)

I did a search all over the Internet and ebay, and the only place selling this coin that I could find was Talisman.

Did anyone bought the coin and able to share some pictures.

I found a few sellers on ebay
1) From US - Talisman (cheaper than their own website, considering shipping):
US ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAP...torid=229466
Canadian ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Greenland-2...em2575e50417

2) From Chinese seller for US/Canadian market:
US ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Greenland-2...em589652c509
Canadian ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Greenland-2...em589652c509

3) From seller in Australia: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Greenland-2...em20cdd80424

Price from Talisman seemed to be the cheapest.

Just in case folks aren't aware, this is not a legal tender coin. It's a fantasy. Greenland does not currently issue its own coinage; Greenland is part of Denmark and uses the Danish krone.

I doubt anyone actually in Greenland, or in Denmark for that matter, is aware of the existence of these "coins".

Buy it if you like the design, by all means, but don't buy it as an example of a "coin from Greenland". There are plenty of genuine Greenland coins, dating from when they actually did make their own coinage prior to 1964, that suit the "coin from Greenland" category much more literally.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
