lucv13 Valued Member Canada 413 Posts	Posted 06/30/2014 2:08 pm Received the 2nd coin in the Exploring Canada series today and it appears to be an error coin - It appears that the lake behind the prospector did not appear on the coin Sorry about the pics - really hard to get rid of the reflection Report this Post to the Staff

Correct? Report this Post to the Staff

The depictions used on the RCM web site are artist illustrations. Fairly often, the actual coins look a bit different than the illustrations. Generally, I've found the coins look better in hand than on the web site. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff

This is very true. I have found that in most of these cases, the actual coins look much better in person. The recent D-Day 70th anniversary coin is a good example. Many folks were worried that the soldier's face in the foreground would look bad, but on the real coin it came out very well. I would think lucv13, that on your Gold Rush coin the lake is supposed to look smooth. Perhaps it was just a very calm day when these coins were minted.

Silveroid Pillar of the Community Canada 6768 Posts	Posted 07/01/2014 10:31 am Yesterday, finally got the D-day coin. Yes, it good in personal, still could be done better. So, the coin also has element of the water, wavy water. This makes me curious to find the "Gold Rush" coin in the display and to see. Report this Post to the Staff
