It does look much better "in hand" than the image.
I've read in other comments on this coin that the two swimmers look like they are going to be flattened by the person jumping in the water but you can tell that the dock that the person is jumping from is behind the two swimmers.

Quote: Where's the BEER All the picture is more than we can see. The wife is still in the cottage, or most likely came out of it and hidden by the trees, and she has just now opened couple of the bottles.

Quote: CC-Ottawa said: Latest in the 12 coin subscription arrived today. I'm still waiting for mine. Do you think it's because all the RCM shipping staff have jumped off the Habs bandwagon and are now all rooting for the Sens? Actually, I expect mine to come tomorrow. It's a cool looking coin, which is what we need in the summer. Thanks for posting the photo. Go Habs Go! (Maybe the last time I get to say this...)

All the Habs fans are crying about the game last night, like their coach has been doing the whole series - no time ship. Though I suspect there are only a few Montreal fans left in Ottawa.
Still, lots of hockey to be played...but go Sens go.

Off Topic: I was at the game last night. Sad to say, it was a boring game for 2 period until we scored one. Hopefully the boys don't come out flat tomorrow.
As for the coin, meeh... it didn't change my mind on what I think of the non animal coins in the series

Thanks for the picture. I must admit it does look better then I thought it would. So far I'm happy with the coins in this series, except the Mountie I wish they made the Mountie similar to the one on the 1973 quarter. Looking forward to the box so I can properly store these

Very very very nice picture. It's real or did you use Photoshop? Very different that the web site picture.
My CC has been charged so tomorrow they will be shipping it...

The stands are called from air-tites; they are called easels and makes displaying much more spacious and awesome for lighting.
Sold a ton locally from the extras I had, all gobbled up in a week.
