All,
I have acquired all but first one Maple Leaf (have not found a source for this one) and the Reindeer (just need to purchase this one) coins.
I have the brochures/certificates for the Queen's Jublibee, Farewall to the Penny, Hockey, and Timber Wolf coins.
Did the all Canoe and Polar Bear coins come with their own brochure/certificate?
Thanks,
Ken

Both Canoe and Polar Bear coins came with a booklet similar to the other one 2012 coins you have. The size of the Canoe one was different (bigger).

Polar bear booklet is also bigger. I don't believe they come with a COA however

This is the maple leaf - first $20 for $20 http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-for-20-S...em2ec7987395Coin comes in the capsule in the kind of paper pocket. Just forgot how the COA looks like. Or the description was on the other side of pocket, or some paper was inserted. In anyway the COA not serialized. |

The COA for the $20 maple looks like any normal COA that a normal Canadian collector coin comes with. The image below will give you some idea.  |

My polar bear was given to me and the previous owner didn't keep the collector card.  I've been searching of one, but no luck yet.  |

I can get you one bear card - $30. Includes free bonus: small silver coin ;-)))))

The COA is a normal non-serialized certificate. it's folded up inside the little package. You can remove it, and the coin, by carefully bending out the folded-in tab. I liked this setup better than the bulky cards the 20-4-20's come with now.    Sorry for the lousy pictures. |

This format is much better than what they changed to. It's a shame they don't return to it. It's the proper way of doing the COA, and it's nice and compact. Thanks for photos.

Where would certified coins fit in? Once in a slab/holder you don't get COA / clamshell. I asked colonial acres and was told no COA. So how would certification fit in this scenario?

Here you go, the two brochures for Polar and Canoe. BTW I only received one for three coins... after these there were always as many borchures as there were coins...   |

@Pixu
This is was the case with 2-nd and 3-rd coins - one brochure per order, even if the order includes more than one coin.
The solution was (for MC) to split the orders.

I wonder if the mint has some of the old brochures available?
I think I will give them a call to inquire.
