You don't have to wait until tomorrow, as Gatewest Coins already have them for sale on their site.
The gold one is $2799.95 and the silver is $89.95.
I will pass on them as Royal coins don't do well. You can pick them up for a discount a few months later.

If one of the new coins was a silver dollar, I would reluctantly purchase it to keep my set complete. As neither is, however, I will be passing on them. I'm glad the RCM uses other denominations for this type of marginal commemorative coin (at least they have so far!). Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

I too will be passing. I'd rather get new August coins.

We will buy coins from RCM, as well from other mints, even if they'll mint 1.000 per year, but only a "special few" in the year. And the nice selection of old coins - always available - covered by dust and toning in collections everywhere. |

Where's Kake?
I don't want to be disrespectful, I'm okay with the Royals and please don't let my comment start a political debate it is not my intention but if I was not aware of the Royal family my first thought on seeing the coin is a progressive coin depicting a same sex marrage with the grandmother sitting there in approval.
I'm cool with that, it would be a great statement from a progressive country.
Again no disrespect, this is what I first saw on viewing the coin.
So where is Kate?

Just check the other forum, and probably ask for the tips.
The guys there had some experience with gold/silver HOF coins.
I would like also to get something....most likely, the Silver set.
