allspice Pillar of the Community Canada 746 Posts	Posted 06/16/2013 10:26 pm This design looks artistic on soapstone. Doesn't work on a coin... I'd go so far as to say it's an insult to the Inuit people... ridiculous attempt and extremely high premium for gold... Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 06/16/2013 10:27 pm Artwork should be left for artwork medals. This design is not apropriate for coins. The RCM got it wrong. The RAM has occasionally made the same type of mistake in the past, with circulating commemorative coins, as well. Report this Post to the Staff
Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 06/17/2013 7:07 pm "Double spot"... Dies, production, and distribution cost money... @ Sel: Do you say that because medals are normally much larger than coins, allowing for sufficient details to show up?

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 06/18/2013 12:56 am I see the RCM artwork in this case to be much more appropriate for small medalettes, best for promotional purposes. It would be rather nice, colour pad printed onto a thin aluminium bronze planchet. For me, as is, I don't it really cut it, even for a PM NCLT issue. Let's see how well it sells, as the RCM has issued it. The proof of the pudding, as always, is in the eating. Edited by sel_69l 06/18/2013 09:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
