agreed cookiecutter. surprised this sold out so quickly. I doubt it'll be the next big coin...I just dont see anything special or unique about it. just another coin in the mints onslaught for me.

It is a nice coin. But nothing special. (The box may be).
I guess it is only Hype.
I will sit on the chair and watch the show.

maybe just the MC allocation sold out. they must set aside a small amount for public release. It is a nice coin and i'll be happy to display it along my canopy coins

This coin makes me want to go camping. I think its a beautiful coin and I bet it will look even better in hand.

I'll have to wait and see the coin in person. Pictures doesn't always show its true beauty.

I have it on good authority the the "Autumn Bliss" coins are going to be delayed until Fall 2014 due to a technical problem. So don't panic folks, nobody is going to get one of these for a long, long time. My sources for this you ask? None other than the production engineer for the "Two Loons" of last year. P.S. Please don't pay any attention to my post, I'm sure these coins will be delivered "on time".  |

This all just makes no sense. My rep was NOT hyping this coin. The eagle was expected to sell out quickly (due to the artificial scarcity created by Silvertowne) but my rep did not give me the usual heads up that the Autumn bliss was hot or limited. Nothing. There isn't anything particularly special here; not a series, no special technology, not cheap - nothing but a nice colourful coin. Yet it quietly sold out in 2 days.  The coin also had a limit of 3 or less so it would seem no MC member swooped in and bought them all. In the past, if I ask my rep to order a coin that is 'awaiting stock' or 'phone order', he's always been able to get one. This time, within an on hour going to 'awaiting stock', he just said definitively - no it's sold out but you can go on the waiting list. Something just doesn't smell right with this one. |

I thought this painted coin was another one that was designed and commissioned outside of the RCMIf that's true that allocation may have been restricted by a third party |

^^^There have been rumours that is was done for a dealer in Europe but I haven't seen anything but just that - rumours. Anyone have real info? If it was restricted, I would have expect my rep to mote that they had limited quantities, super rare etc. etc.
But it's so Canadian (all it's missing is a Timmies cup floating in the water), I find it strange that it would be commissioned outside of this North America.

I really doubt that MC members have grab all these coins. Nor do I think the CA, Gatewest or CC grab many of them. I would think they be busy grabbing the superman coin so they can sell to u.s residents that want the coin. I could see Euro dealers like these coins though... They really like the Canopy and they like colour coins.. |

Maybe the Post Office got a huge allocation of them. Remember the Robert Batement coin. They limited the coin to one per customer and it sold out pretty fast. Later the Post Office had tons of them. The prices of that coin certainly dropped fast.

Well whatever the case maybe, I think the coin will end up along side the canopy coins as an addon to the set and if that's the case it will be a hot item. So now I need to get one more lol as I am collecting two of the canopy series sets.

people in Ottawa and Vancouver might have chance to get this coin at the boutiques. I guess there will be a line up for this coin at first day of public release. (just like the glass butterfly coin)

(just like the glass butterfly coin) I highly doubt that... with the butterfly glass coin, there's a history of the coin doing well and people willing to wait in line |
