It will hard to know the final market appreciation of the set until the whole set is complete.

Personally, I really like the concept and design of the coin. As long as the coin in hand look the same or better than what I've seen, I'll be happy.

I am a bit worry about the quality of this coin.
Besides the scratches I noticed at bottom of the lake (from Mint's facebook photo), I also noticed from a few "in-hand" photos on RFD and ebay that the mint has over-filled the enamel, made the "water level" too high and submerged Caribou Island.

This is the Caribou Island:
Lake-Superior-Coin

I hope the mint could address these defects before shipping out our coins.... I am sure I will keep returning mine for exchange until it got fixed.

Maybe that would make for some valuable varieties? Call them pre-Global Warming and post-Global warming or something?

@shopaholic, I haven't done returning to RCM. What's the procedure? Is there any charge on return shipping?

@snoopy: provided that you order directly from the Mint, if the coin is defective, they will refund the postage up to 15$. The procedure can be found here:

Lucky! I would love to have one of these "Glacial Lake Minong" versions!!

What could be more clear?

Lake-Superior-Coin

Tirage in this case means the total number of subscriptions.
