2015 $20-For-$20 ($25-For-$25)

My sense is - because it is different, it will be popular. The only colourized coin of the series, will it have a COA like the first of the series. Pretty smart call on the part of the Mint as far as I'm concerned, you get to celebrate the anniversary of the Flag and charge $25.00 for 1/4 ounce bullion coin that normally goes for $20.00. And as stated, it would be nice to know the mintage, likely a minimum 200,000.

I am a sucker for this series though, and I will subscribe as it is very affordable and some of the designs have been great, Canoe, Polar Bear, Wolf, Goose, Bobcat, Iceberg whales, not so keen on the cartoonish Christmas themes but I know there are those that are fans. It is nice to get the order automatically. So the series stands at 14 and will be 18 at the end of 2015. Would be nice to have a custom box.

I don't think it's appropriate for the series and I'll stop buying the 20 for 20 series at the end of the year. Back to one oz rounds.

I bought a couple of the 2013 Maple leaf coins (1/2 ounce leaves in hand) for $39.00 each from Canada Post. I think that they are great. Comparing them to a 1/8th ounce $25 dollar coin may not work but I'm doing it anyway. I'll skip the $25 for $25.

Don't get me wrong, Canada flags are awesome (I mean it) but I like most everyone else must be selective where I spend my collectable dollars.

I would buy/subscribe to the next $20-4-$20 coin anyways as I started collecting with the first coin from this series. But now, with this perk, it became just awesome!

I'm 500% sure they won't sell out 200,000 subscriptions (or 250,000) and that the single coin will be available at issue price.

The snowman was a fast sell out, as it was $20 from the mint and free shipping, although people probably won't make much premium out of it, it still costs to ship it out and mint is the only one who does it for free, so if someone wants it, they will have to pay a premium above $20 which will go to shipping, packaging/ebay fees maybe. Getting the coin from the mint is the cheapest way and also a lot of these are probably sold to dealers which sell for above issue. Most Canadapost outlets have these $20for$20 coins at $25, they make $5 since people pick it up, Others selling this cannot make money but it is a good collectible to have, as it is one thing that is guaranteed to not be available for a discount anywhere else. I will be getting 3 of these for sure, with free shipping, plus helps towards MC, and with cashback it's actually below issue.

I like it, and am happy it's the same diameter of the other coins - it's not about the silver content or whether or not they can be cashed in at the bank, I surely can cash in at RCM if necessary - I only buy one of each and I collect them for display purposes they look cool. When my Grand-Daughters Great Grand-Children get these in a 150 years they'll be overjoyed...:)
