SoulBrotherNo3 Valued Member Canada 330 Posts	Posted 04/25/2013 5:24 pm Wow, those are some nice pics. Great idea about posting the coin on their Facebook page numismatist 2012! I agree it's pricey but it has the chance to look great and be a first time technology. Maybe like the Glow in the Dark or the Glass Bugs? Too bad there aren't any real teaser pics of it. If there were (and the coin looked great) and there was this big delay, the demand for these would be high I bet. Report this Post to the Staff

Silveroid Pillar of the Community Canada 6768 Posts	Posted 04/26/2013 5:48 pm Here how it is looks like according to ebay seller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/IN-STOCK-20...em20d2167ee4 IMO, nothing special. I know that it not the sticker, but looks like. Btw, seems to be the same seller, as with famous Penny Roll Report this Post to the Staff
cookiecutter Valued Member Canada 292 Posts	Posted 04/26/2013 5:56 pm My dealer said he received the dragonflies as well. Based on his description, it's worth seeing. I'll hopefully check them out on Monday Report this Post to the Staff
Newman26 Valued Member Canada 61 Posts	Posted 04/26/2013 5:57 pm It's still available on RCM site about 180 left. Report this Post to the Staff
LondonCoin CCF Sponsor Canada 149 Posts	Posted 04/26/2013 6:00 pm I just received mine, and they look great! The holographic background probably slowed down the production. Looks way better then in the RCM pictures! Report this Post to the Staff
LondonCoin CCF Sponsor Canada 149 Posts	Posted 04/26/2013 6:02 pm You really have to see them in real life to see the holographic background. Even the above link to the ebay posting does not look as good as it does in real life. I'll be adding some to my site now today. Report this Post to the Staff
Newman26 Valued Member Canada 61 Posts	Posted 04/26/2013 6:04 pm @ machaj would you say it's worth the $80 price tag? Report this Post to the Staff
Solidifier Pillar of the Community Canada 814 Posts	Posted 04/26/2013 6:47 pm im wondering the same thing.....i only have one ordered....thinking about another....just not sure if its worth it to flip later on... Report this Post to the Staff
coin_games Valued Member Canada 319 Posts	Posted 04/26/2013 7:17 pm @Solidifier It is the first in the series. If the Mint makes more in the series than I would say having more than one would be a good idea. $80 for 1/2 ounce is high but cheaper than the Bee and Hive I bought three with the intention of keeping them.

Ravenzcoin Valued Member Canada 300 Posts	Posted 04/26/2013 8:36 pm Well, I am encouraged to hear this. The Mint has a notice of product delay for it, saying July, but the same notice is also saying August/early September for the glass butterfly on coneflower and obviously that's incorrect. My own dragonfly order is still only "processing" but I am not surprised they have sent out the dealers shipments first. Maybe next week my order will be upgraded to "shipped"!

numismatist_2012 New Member Canada 42 Posts	Posted 04/26/2013 11:08 pm is the ebay pic the actual coin ? I don't see anything special about the background - doesn't look holographic to me...@ machaj, is there a pic of the actual coin posted on your site ? Report this Post to the Staff
cookiecutter Valued Member Canada 292 Posts	Posted 04/29/2013 6:35 pm I picked up my dragonfly from my dealer today. The dragonfly is static, but the holographic effect is in the water. When you tilt it at various angles, it looks like the water is shimmering and sparkling. Different angles yield different colours like purples, blues, greens, and pinks. I actually think it's a really nice coin, much nicer when it's not obscured by the coin capsule's plastic top. I tried to snap a few pictures at various angles to illustrate the effect if anybody is on the fence about it. I apologize for the big block of green in various photos. It's the tshirt I'm wearing that's reflected in the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Silveroid Pillar of the Community Canada 6768 Posts	Posted 04/29/2013 7:06 pm Innovative! Thanks for sharing, cookiecutter I think, it nice that there is variety of coins types, and each collector will decide, what exactly he / she likes and need in the collection. Report this Post to the Staff
