There are lots of topics on the latest releases of the mint. Many hypes around rolls or ducks

I do like the Blue Flag Iris very much - I was wondering, although that the previous coins in the series weren't as nice in my view, if anyone else share this?

Or would it be a hype only in the Quebec area?

I was certainly tempted by it. I don't think I'll be buying it, but just *might* change my mind--it has been known for me to do that! And if I don't change my mind, I might regret it later. I think it's a very attractive coin, but haven't seen the older ones so can't comment on them.

I was drawn by the attractiveness of this coin!
Which previous coins would be considered as part of this set?

Nice looking coin but staying away from all those crystal coins for now on can never resell them for any type of profit.

The flowers with 3 crystals, for example from 2012:

Fine Silver Coin - Rhododendron Crystal Dew Drop (2012)

Partially disagree.

First, why to stay away, if it for personal collection, and only in case of need for money - for sale? The coin is very nice.

And some of the Crystal series will give the profit - take a look at 2008 or 2009 Coloured Maple Leaf ($20 Silver Coin) with the Crystal.

Yes but how many of those crystal coins are there with all the different series I think they just over did them and killed the value of them like you said there is only a couple that hold value.I like the look of them all but in the long run every thing I have will sell someday and if there is no profit to be made I don't hold on to it.I have most too and can't even sell them at issue price.

Hard saying what will go up and what will not - how long do you keep something before you sell it? It might be a few years before the series is hot - hard saying. Maybe the maple leaf appeals to more than the flowers. I think the maple leave ones are nice though.. I'm sticking with the flower series.. Hard to start another one a few years in

Yes it is hard to tell which will be winners and losers but you just have to take a chance what coins you want to hold onto for the future. I have 5 wild rose to sell at issue price if anyone wants one.
