No, IMO thats way it cooler. "Liquid" enemeling with the different depth.

It looks cool, someday thousands of years from now after the next big cataclysm some one will find a set of these buried somewhere and look in awe at what once was...  |

Looking at the full size picture of the coin I immediately notice scratches at the bottom of the lake, as if whoever "filled" the lake with enamel paint scratched the coin surface with the needle. I hope the Mint can pay more attention with their coins before shipping them out.  |

Many it's a bunch of lake monsters. "One of the most unusual creatures spotted in Michigan is "Pressie," Lake Superior's answer to the Loch Ness Monster. Pressie is most often spotted in the waters off the Isles of Presques. Lake Superior certainly is large enough to be home to a large undiscovered creature. Containing 10% of all of the Earth's surface fresh water, Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area. It has more water than the other four Great Lakes combined. The lake is about 350 miles long and 160 miles wide. It is up to 1,300 feet deep. Because of its size, Lake Superior rarely freezes completely. If it does, it only stays frozen for a few hours at a time. There is an abundance of fish in the lake, as well as birds." http://voices.yahoo.com/pressie-lak...6762668.html |

I highly doubt Lake Ontario will be crystal blue. More like a murky brown. Do you think the RCM can make a coin like that? |

This was the first coin I purchased this years besides the $20 for $20's and my Lotus subscription. This one is a keeper for me.

They could add a few jumping Asian carp, nuclear waste, and a clump of zebra mussles.

I think the coin looks cool and what sold me was the fact there was a wood box with the subscription. Had the RCM not offer the wood box, I would not have placed the order. |

I also order the subscription, it was spread out enough to make it affordable for me. I'm glad I did this coin looks very nice, can't wait until it arrives. I didn't think it would be so nice from description. I hope the case is a nice quality, too bad the inside isn't a map and blue like someone suggested. We should submit these improved ideas to the mint. Maybe they could incorporate them into the case.
