Poll Question
I have the feeling that the initial hype that was present at the launch of the 20-for-20 series has died down a bit. I originally started with getting five of each coin, but have gone to buying only two of each with the intention of completing two sets only. The rest I have given away to younger members of the family.

I've been noticing that aside from the first three coins in the series, the rest do not really carry much of a premium nor sell very well (I've only looked on kijiji). Could that be because the designs are not as desirable or purely due to the hype and novelty dying down?

Of the 11 designs that have been issued so far, which is your favourite?

Poll Choices
 Maple
 Canoe

The Canoe design was by far my favorite.

I do like the Last Penny as well as the newest Canada Goose.

Well, the only one I actually bought was the Canada Goose, and so I voted for it. (I bought it at the boutique.) But I do like several of the others: whale & iceberg, canoe, maple and the wolf. In response to Sokkos's speculation, I think it's probably a bit of the novelty/hype wearing off.

Too bad for Santa. No votes. haha
There were a few standouts. I ultimately settled on the Goose, but maybe that is excitement because I just got that one in the mail today...and I'm always extra excited about coins when they are new.
I'm not too big of a fan of the canoe, though. I was surprised to see that one get so many of the votes.

Canoe for me.
But the new release reminds me so much of the 1967 Silver dollar, second choice.
