Got this coin yesterday.
The Mintage is limited (6.000), and looks like the final mintage will be much lower.
The COA number that I got is 14xx.
I like this type of art, and the design is simple and not fancy. Good coin for narrow target group.
I just think, that better it would be High Relief coin, similar to "Mask"s coins. It kind of "carved" in the silver, but not deep enough to be HR.

What do you mean with the final mintage? Because of the coins sold or the next releases of this series?

arianzo, I believe Silveroid means that it won't be a very popular coin and the mint won't have to produce the full 6,000. He could be right, I have already received an email from my rep flogging this particular coin. I hope I didn't mix you two up again...

Everything correct, NuMoose You explained what I've meant. Due to low demand, the quantity that the coin will be minted, will be less, than planned 6.000, this way the coin will be more rare. This we will know in the next year's RCM report.... |

@ Silveriod will you please post a pic of the coin? I'd like to see it in hand. It interests me very much, but want to see in hand prior to search for one at a discount.
What is your full opinion of this coin? Thanks

What is your full opinion of this coin? Thanks Evening / late evening will be posted. In overall expected more. The design itself isn't "busy". But if I remember correctly, the Totems carved on the same finish background (I might mistake in this detail, will look again, but this was the impression). You know, like to not see the trees, looking at the forest. Generally I like it. To be objective, would give it 7 "stars" out of 10. Since not many coins minted with this theme - nice to have it in the collection. |

Silveroid: Did you buy only the silver coin?
I would like to see the Emily Carr's 3 coins set photos on hand. In the catalog looked great.

@Silveroid: Thanks for the images! I've considered this one as a supplement to the G-of-7 coins that I purchased, but haven't yet decided. I don't typically buy these types of coins but I do appreciate their artistry - and, of course, that of the original artist. The G-of-7 set is one of the few RCM products that I've purchased that wasn't a historical commemorative. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

I definitely want one if I can get at discount. Will compliment my Gr O 7 nicely! I wish I had the funds for the set, it looks impressive. Thanks silveriod for posting pics!
