The coin came back into stock because a lot people cancellled it. Like me.
One of the ugliest coins ever and there is zero interest on the secondary market.
Despite the Mint hype and low mintage of 6000 coins, this coin is a bust.

IMO, the coin is well done.
The mask itself...yes, it isn't the "Sleeping Beauty"
Looks like it repeats the way of the Summer Moon Mask. That's good.

It has great reviews. Looks interesting, it has a low mintage. The coin could be something in the long run. Does it really look that bad in person?

looks better in person. has lots of fine detail and really captures the beauty of the original carving. kind of a weird looking thing but it has grown on me.

The grandmother mask has a haunting beauty...personally I like it a lot...it reminds me of this other coin...some would think ugly...but it was only released in 2010 and the price is crazy high on it now.  |

The problem is not that the Moon mask look ugly... It's only the price...

Not a big fan of transferring original carvings to coins. It doesn't seem to work. The original wood carving makes sense; suitable fabric to the design. A stamp might work better to commemorate this carving...

At $149.99, it is one of the more expensive 1 oz coins out there. I think people shied away from this coin because it is so expensive or only bought one of them. So they had plenty of stock. As for ebay, the few that have managed to sell are for below issue price, making it a loss for anyone selling. |

May be I should return one of this coin (I have two) to free up the fund and buy the some bronze Allegory coins instead? What do you think?

I agree. I like the design but find the price to be a bit high.
