The same thoughts, valoshin.
In addition - would it be the same size as real nickel coin (even thinner) for the same price - I would order it.
But, following the concept, that I'll not buy the coin, if I am not "100%" into it - will pass.

Anyone else agree this coin would have been much cooler if they had kept it "5-Cents" ? -.-

I like the way you think Lostwords. My rep is going to be upset.

Though a little pricey. A classic design for Canadian coinage, but not my cup of tea. IMO, a price of $99.95 would have been more fair for this 1/25 ounce gold coin. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

classic tribute design coins like the nickel should be done large and massive as like the 2012 penny, the 50 cents is stupid on this coin.

...the 50 cents is stupid on this coin. I agree. I realize that it was likely done to attract collectors of other 50-cent pieces, but a denomination of "50 cents" on a modern gold coin (even one as small as a 1/25 ounce coin) is silly and meaningless.

I went ahead and ordered this coin because I enjoy the classic beaver design and I don't think it has been on a gold coin before (correct me if I'm wrong). I also like that the mintage is only 7,500 instead of 10,000 so that was a big selling point for me.

I like the coin as well. I placed my order the day it was announced. I am hoping that the Mint will make a larger version made out of silver. Imagine a 1/2oz silver, with a pink beaver (no pun intended) sorta like what they did with the penny.  |

Said it before but will repeat. The coin should have been 5 cent and the price is too high. The reduced mintage helps but some of these 1/25oz coins have sold less than 7500 despite 10k mintages. I'll likely buy it at a discount or on sale somewhere though because the coin IMO looks pretty good. Actual pic here http://www.ebay.com/itm/2014-Canada...em5660548a19 |

I like the coin but I've sworn a vow to never buy anything from the RCM but the 20 for 20's and circulation packs. |

I really like this design as well.
The same for the 2010 1/25 oz gold bluenose (10ยข), I really like these classic designs but are too pricey for me.
I'm waiting for discounts on these ones to buy, as 130$ is too much for what it is IMO. But... I'm looking for the bluenose one for a while now and they aren't not discounting very much.

I agree, having the coin with 5 cent would have been cool.
