Ordered one.
When will get it delivered, most likely will trade for something else. Koala + Wombat from Opal series (just example, do not believe that Butterfly will go so high).

Ordered one from CP early on, hopefully they keep their promise. Called yesterday to confirm and they stated it was all good still.

You should call them today. Not yesterday. Today is their order date.

I got call from PO this afternoon that everything is smooth. I will have my coin at the end of April.

I ordered one for a friend who isn't MC member. She was worried she wouldn't be able to get it, so I'll just pass the coin on to her at cost.

Personally, I'm not so keen on the coin myself.

People bought 3 at Canada Post and used different addresses to place more than one order and then reserved 2 at various post offices. This can easily add up to many butterflies.

I ordered 2 from my local post office. They said the order was responded with "off sale," which means it may or may not go through. Depends on if there is an Overstock, which is doubtful.
I figure 50% chance, but it's better than nothing....

Thanks Tristen, also checked with the Mint boutiques and they said they won't be getting any in for their regular in-person customers. I'm surprised that a certain number of these coins were not reserved for the boutiques as usual. Apparently Ottawa is focusing on online sales only and they make the final decision. So much for standing in line.

Imagine the disappointment when people get up early to stand in line to get this coin and other releases, only to find out there are none left. If this keeps up, they might close the boutiques and have online sales only.

@allspice - Probably only one a month it is busy with collectors other than tourists. Well so many were bought online when it came back in stock for the second time those coins were probably the ones going to the boutique etc.

That could be Tristen. Will let you know if anything changes with the boutique or if I get one from the local post office. Miracles can happen! LOL
