Exactly, also it's my first coin of the year :-)
Except the circulation coins...

Hey, "mainstream", well-known dinosaurs are Tuvalu-type coin subjects. We have a rich domestic paleontological heritage that really is worth commemorating, and it's great to see a coin commemorating a really Canadian species of dinosaur.

I bought some to complete my sets but had this coin been a stand alone, I wouldn't have purchased any. The Tiktaalik (dinosaurly speaking) is really cool, but the depiction of it on the coin in my opinion is bad. To be fair, I was not on the planet when dinosaurs where here so I can't exactly argue what the dinosaur is supposed/actually looked like, and I can't pinpoint what I don't like about the image, to me it's just eh. But I'm glad other people are enjoying it.

I received my coin from CP today. I really like it but the queen is all scratched up. It's like it was taken out of the capsule and slid around  Is everyone else's in good condition? I just checked CP and they're out of stock. The first time I tried to order, CP gave me the unavailable product message. I tried again a few days later and suddenly they had stock again. I wonder if this is a coin someone returned

@sw3dish_ch3f:
Everything is possible here....
The COTY Award didn't contribute much to the series, so just order from Mint another one and return your coin to CP.Or just try to find additional one at POs, I believe, many ordered them.

@ sw3dish ch3f and DominicIt's unfortunate that you did not receive your coins in the good condition one would expect. However, I am very reluctant to order coins from Canada Post. My one experience was enough to turn me off. When I finally received my Autumn Bliss coin (four months after I ordered it and after being told I would never receive it and cancelling my order would not be necessary), it was shipped LOOSE with absolutely no protective wrapping in an over-sized box. Miraculously there was no damage to anything. I guess Canada Post has such confidence in the high quality of its shipping and delivery service that sending out a coin like this is perfectly acceptable..In your cases, obviously that was wrong...  |

The reason I prefer to order from CP is because of the free shipping. I'm not MC so I have to pay for shipping from the Mint.
Moose, you're right about their packaging. I'm not impressed either. My experience is they tend to use those flat rectangular boxes that don't have enough depth. They just force the package in.
Last week I returned two coins to CP Philatelic. I'm afraid they'll black list me for returning so many in such a short time
