Received an email also. Wondering the mintage and how many coins in the subscription ? I purchased the Towering Forrests of Canada last year and also wondering if its the first coin in the series ?

Also received the e-mail overnight. No mintage given. 2oz and the offer is for a subscription (not just this one coin) so more are coming. Yes the Towering Forests was the first.
"Unique 360 degree design" but since it's not the 1st to use that design, I'm not sure it's really "unique".
This one has an ocean theme. I can see a lighthouse, narwhal, orca, humpback whale, a ship, dolphin or porpoise, seal, walrus, sail boats, a kayak, octopus, a puffin, maybe some gulls, starfish. lobster and a crab. There is at least one that I can't identify from the image but it looks like a puffer fish.
They all appear to be swirling in a toilet bowl and about to be flushed.

I can see it as interesting coin.
But like the "Forest" more.
On the Towering Forests the design looks more like 360 complete picture, while on "Ocean" coin, at least for me, it more like small images around the coin.
Don't think, that I will look to get it (unlike the first), but still good one.
(Small benefits - "pumps up" the MC for those who needs it and could be deposited to the bank no loss).

Just got this from my rep....They will be two coins this year. One for June and one for October. Mintage is 25000.
For the Future I am not sure yet?
The first one was the Towering Forest! 2014

It was designed by Ellen Cowie, the same artist who created the previous $200 for $200 Towering Forests coin. So, the new coin's design closely resembles the previous piece in style and execution.
For me, however, the design is too busy and disjointed - I don't find it attractive.
I'm sure others will disagree!

I thought this coin was very nice, so ordered one. At the very least, you cannot lose money on it.

At the very least, you cannot lose money on it. I quite with idea of potential return. Even hot coins with the time loses value. Here you right - it always be $200. But $200 in the coin it not the same as $200 in the wallet, and to own something with the knowledge, that this coin "marked" as 'first to be sold' - better not to spend money at all. |

Well, if the $200 in your wallet are 2 bills of $100 chances are that they will last but if instead of that you have 10 bills of $20, they go very fast and at the end you don't have bills neither a coin....

That's right. $200 in your wallet is there for spending. $200 in a coin is there for savings. Big difference.
