Not in April, elkslayer?
Interesting to see color scheme....they've used green/yellow with the frog. Could it be brown/[green or blue] ?

From Gatewest regarding the Murano frog
2014 $20 FINE SILVER COIN WATER-LILY AND LEOPARD FROG
Any customer who purchased this item from Gatewest Coin between June 1 and September 18 is entitled to a credit for the difference between the price they paid, and issue price.

I won't be getting any turtles no profit in this series anymore but it will be nice for the people that collect them.

Because they dropped the price of it and they have loads in stock and can't get rid of them

I keep the frog as (in my opinion) the best example of the series.
Too bad that didn't like the Ladybug in 2011.
You right - there is no big demand (and might be due to unavailability of the first one), but still series kind of popular.

I'll be getting one turtle! I'm still missing the Ladybug and Bumblebee for my collection, too high in my price range unfortunately.

I will pass on this one unless they drop the mintage, just too many other coins around with low mintages that interest me more.

Elkslayer says it will be 10,000, down from the frog's 12,500. Still too high. |

I bought the first one on a whim. Never thinking that a coin with glass on it would appreciate beyond an interesting oddity. It will be nice to see this set completed - would have been nicer if the mint offered an attractive display box for all of them.

RCM did offer cases for Venetian Glass Insect Coins. But too bad only available on Gold Coins and not on Silver Coins. Grab image on google.

I assume, that the 6-coin box for "Tribute to Nickel" could be used for Glass Creatures series (5 creatures + Snowmen). The slots will be suitable for 40mm RCM coins with standard capsule, hence will be good for 38mm coins with capsule with thick edges (38mm glass coins with non standard capsule). My assumption is due to possibility of Masks coins (36mm thick capsule) to fit the 38mm standard RCM slot. |
