CC-Ottawa Pillar of the Community Canada 3690 Posts	Posted 10/24/2013 12:56 pm lol Liverpool. You took me back a million years to university residence. Same deal. Mac & cheese for lunch meant tomato/mac soup with dinner. Anything w/ sauce (sloppy joes, spaghetti, lasagna, pizza) meant one of the others for the next meal. It was all the same sauce and everything tasted the same...yet most new students caught the freshman 15 by Christmas. But it is nice to see the Mint embracing the three R's - recycle, reduce and reuse - well 2 outta 3 ain't bad. Maybe they can try reducing next year. Completely agree though, the 1812 set should have the Shannon or maybe the 1812-2012 silver dollar, not the unrelated ML Forever. And I don't get the name. Icons? I would guessed that most Canadians don't even know who these historical figures are other than Laura Secord sells ice cream and chocolates. Report this Post to the Staff
Silveroid Pillar of the Community Canada 6768 Posts	Posted 10/24/2013 1:28 pm HMS Shannon seems to be sold-out, so couldn't be entered to this collection. So out War of 1812 related coins remains in stock the 4 characters and 1-kg silver coins. Why to put 5 and not 4 coins - not clear. Agree with CC-Ottawa about "icons". The "Icons" could be name for "O Canada 1/2 oz" series. Generally nice try from RCM to sell these coins, but marketing here is bad. And these commemorate history event... Interesting, which way will be repacked other coins. I would suggest to Mint to issue (probably on January-February 2014) some sets of "Our most un-popular coins of 2013" Report this Post to the Staff

You're quite right this time, CC-Ottawa! Quote: I would suggest to Mint to issue (probably on January-February 2014) some sets of "Our most un-popular coins of 2013" An excellent idea, Silveroid! By the way, does anybody know what city the capital of Canada is? Report this Post to the Staff

I've been there too and I sympathize. Which is why this situation frustrates me so much. I bought all four 1812 coins and got the SML as a gift. I'm less peeved because the five coin set with clamshell is really not much of a deal, but this whole repackaging methodology just seems so ridiculous. Report this Post to the Staff
Dcadon Rest in Peace Canada 1360 Posts	Posted 10/25/2013 7:43 pm I was hoping that they would have done something similar with the $5 and $10 gold coins - if you bought the whole set of Premium Selected, they came in a single case for all, the same however didn't happen if you bought the 6 coins in only Hand Selected quality. So...there they sit - piled upon each other in safe. Not really presentable together, but spectacular in their own right. Report this Post to the Staff
