Does anyone knows where I could find that set for a good price, I found some on ebay but most of the time the shipping is killing it (~20$) Thank you for your help. |

Ordered the set month ago from Gatewest. They still suppose to have it for issue price.
Not a set collector, and the few, that I had - it was enough, but I though, that it good idea to buy the last one which has a Penny.

If you just want the special toonie you can pick it up from asyn on ebay for about $30 + tax and free shipping. |

Thank to all of you for your answers. I didn't know GatewestCoin, their price are great and the shipping is ok, if I just order the set it would cost about 62$ + tax, that's nice. I kinda just want the toonie but my problem with the ones from asyn it that they all seem to have scratches on them. Like this one : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Canada-2012..._1213wt_1186Especially on the Queen's face. |

Doesn't looks good - the Toonie on their listing.
I just wondering - how it could happen - scratches on non-circulated coin? Actually, do not remember scratches like these on the circulated toonies, that makes me think, that it kind of poor level of the photography, or the scratches on some clear surface.
But anyway, buy the set, and you will know, that your coin is The One.

ASYN's scratches are because the glass on his lens (scanner?) processes 500 coins a night. :-) I've picked up a few from them and they've all been in mint condition.

Re ASYN, no kidding, 10,000 coins a month consistently. WOW.
At that rate, it's now wonder ASYN gets the occasional 'grade' wrong.
24 neutral or negative feedback on 9700 sales... not too shabby.

I've also never had a problem with any of his mint coins from sets and a few of them looked really scratched in pictures, but I always receive the coin in mint shape. His grading on older coins on the other hand can be ALOT off. Something to think about if you are looking to go with a few of the older coins. |

I think Kuh_85 & Lesinwestvan have nailed it with their comments about the apparent scratches. I was a little hesitant to buy a coin from them, but there was one I just had to have and I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful it was in-hand. No scratches whatsoever. I've since purchased quite a few--looked scratched up in the photos, but wonderful in real life. However, I also agree his "grades" are, uh, optimistic. In short, Sébastien, I think it's worth the "risk".

Yeh, constantly buying from Asyn. No worries, all coins are in Mint condition. When he puts SP67 means it is brand new.

I finally bought the toonie from Asyn, for 31$ (my second attempt, the first one sold for 37$) I was thinking about putting it in a round capsules, so I could "expose" it beside my 20$ 4 20$ Wolf coin. What do you think about that kind of capsule? Is there any better kind? http://www.cdncoin.com/product-p/capsule.htm |

Those are the ones I use. I like the extended edges making it easier to open. The 28mm are a good fit as advertised.
