Personally I really like the coin. I love Canada for its natural beauty and I believe this coin really shows that.

What's your opinion?

Very pretty and attractive! I would prefer to see what the "Transition Effect" colorization technique looks like in hand before purchasing though....

Not for me. I'm not a fan of two-dimensional painted coins. Where's the engraving?!

Is it the best way of recognizing great Cdn rivers...its the Madawaska...but you wouldn't know it looking at the coin...unless you've been there...perhaps.
Or,is it just meant to be another lovely Canadian-ish nature work of modern art...somewhat like the Autumn Bliss before...with a slew to come, no doubt?

I went into the post office for something else and they had it on display. It looked much better in person than it did online and I ended up buying it. It goes very nice with my Autumn Bliss.

Beautiful and colorful painting, the coin looks great (I saw it in PO).
But again, this type not for my collection, where the paint does most of effect.

Would it be Proof-engraved with colorization accents, or crafted similar to "Lakes" coin - I would appreciate it more.

I bought two of these very impressive coins. I also think it will go very nice with my Autumn Bliss coin from last year. I love anything with Canadiana on it and I'm also a sucker for coloured coins that are well done. The low mintage doesn't hurt as well on this coin.

I'll pass. My credit card needs a break. Nice coin overall but the RCM is producing too many products with so many different themes.

I received mine from TSC,, it is actually pretty good, I wish it had a custom box as well like the autumn bliss. I was unaware that it came with a bonus signed card as well or I would have bought 2, it cost me around $82 with shipping, I think the mint prices are a bit high for 1oz of silver

I didn't plan on purchasing RR but seen it at the post office one day I was there to mail a package and ended up buying it.

I ordered this on the RCM website and it almost immediately, even though the website indicated it would be shipped 10-6-2014. I love it. Very pretty.

I never got a bonus signed card. Am I missing something?

@Opera12mi: as I remember, the dealers (CC&C for example) have small portion of the signed cards, that come as a bonus with the coin. But never RCM had.
