Probably had lots of cancellations from 1st sub so this is their way of getting rid of them

There must have been lots of cancellations on the original order so now the mint created a mini version with 6 out of the 12 coins.

Showcase your O Canada Select series. A collector's box to store and display all 6 coins is yours for free, upon purchase of your third coin of the series.


So, I think the box comes with the same coin for both subs (Niagara Falls). But, ya wanna bet these subs get their box before the original 12 coin subs?

The New 6-coin series:
• Polar Bear April
• Summer Fun May
• Niagara Falls July
• Caribou Aug
• Hockey Sept
• Maple Leaf Nov

The old 12 coins Series:
#1 - The Inukshuk - $39.95
#2 - The Beaver - $39.95
#3 - The Royal Canadian Mounted Police - $39.95
#4 - The Polar Bear - $39.95
#5 - Summer Life - $39.95
#6 - The Wolf - $39.95
#7 - Niagara Falls - $39.95
#8 - The Caribou - $39.95
#9 - Hockey - $39.95
#10 - The Orca - $39.95
#11 - The Maple Leaf (in colour) - $39.95 ($54.95 for non-subscribers)
#12 - Holiday - $39.95

There will be overlap of 3 coins if you cancelled in July:
The Polar Bear
Summer Life
Niagara Fall
But you get 2 boxes

I guess the reason they issue the mini set is because there are too many cancellation since they notified that the delay of the coin boxes and they want to get rid of those coins.

Do you think the box for this "Mini-Subscription" will be the same one as for the regular subscription? My guess is that it will be one in the same. The photo of the box doesn't show individual slots for coins from what I can tell, however it is black so they could be there but I just don't see it.

This smaller subscription has three of my least favorites so I will just stick by the originals. If this one had included all the wildlife and the coloured maple, I would have been a little miffed.
