If you want it as they are "sold out" - They are hard to find for issue price

BUY IT, jakedacc! Just don't drop it on the way home.  Those butterfly wings are very fragile.

Purchased. Holy cow these are gorgeous. Makes me want to focus on NCLT. Wish the lady bug wasn't so expensive.

Hey, Lostwords, that was a very good deal for all 3 venetians! Vacation time must have something to do with that low price! Wonder if a 4th venetian is still happening? I'd like to see the dogbane beetle (9 cent Canadian stamp) on the next release. Amazing bug with very cool colors: http://www.consider-the-lilies.org/...0Beetle.html

Nice - at least you got one - I waited on hold to order the day they came out and the package came a few weeks ago when I was out of town, it was sent back and the mint told me to call again to order.. Ha, they said it's sold out and I can't one.. nice to know they sent it back and I have no way to get it. Oh well

Quote:Quote: Wish the lady bug wasn't so expensive. Same.. Unfortunately.. so far the lowest I've seen lately on ebay is around $800 CDN. At one point, they were selling at $1000+ this is the cheapest yet: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Venetian-Gl...em4174f312c6 Thats the same person that I made an offer on all 3 awhile ago, didnt take my $1350 then ,I guess they wish they had of now.

Hopeful is one word for it....  Seriously though, in 5-10 yrs the price of these coins could be back down there just as easily as staying where they are now.

couldn't help the quick flip guys...
I went to the coin store in St. Jacobs Ontario and boy was I mad.
There was 4 people working and 5 people there when I arrived, the staff helped all the older adults and seniors with their coins, once someone was free, he sat down and stared at me.
My girlfriend looks at me and says "really? why aren't they helping you? - one answer... I'm young
i was there for 20 minutes looking and not once did someone offer to help me. I noticed they had 4 glass butterflies for $350.00 each (super inflated prices) - so I said "if I had one of those how much would you offer me? just curious"
a staff member says "oh $200.00 but they are super rare and it would be impossible for you to have one, you probably have the 25 cent version"
i pulled it out of my girlfriends purse and this man ate his words. $50.00 profit in 2 days and I will never visit this store again.
