Some continuations, some new stuff. Though one coin looks exceptional and I already want it!  I'll add some details later. |

Oh, yes - good start. Is already June, so interesting, what the RCM prepare for us. Core of June release - the Superman's 77-th Anniversary and the people had nice choice of their favorite hero. Other coins - nice to have, but much better - to leave them. So, July..... Of cause "The Beaver" - this one expected to enter many collectors houses. KG together with engravers who designed Caribou, Echidna and the Platypus - did amazing job. What else, MTS? What so inspired you to have it? Is it very expensive? "Batman" coin maybe? |

Do you mean 5 cents 'Beaver'? Yes, it is coming.
Another selective gold plated coin is the big 50 cents coin.
See no "Batman" on the horizon.
The coin I like is mmm... something interesting. I don't know what is it, but I like it. FV is $20, so it should have reasonable price. I'm pretty sure it will be 'A first' something. :)

Thanks for reminder.....50 cents coin. So expensive, why, RCM? Except being rarest coin, it is the second only (i think I am not mistaking) after 1967 $20 Gold, bearing our Coat of Arms. In hope, that the "July's nice item" will not be like current "first mokume gain" or "Firefly" or "Lightening coin with the flash light" |

I'll wait a few weeks to find out more information regarding the July release. Lately I haven't been so eager to read about the next release until I get the monthly catalog in the mail.

Slim pickings for July. The Coat of Arms Big Coin should look good.

mts, aren't all the songbird coins already available? I see 5 on the RCM website available without subscription to the set. (Cardinal, jay, warbler, oriole & swallow.) Or will there be more? |

Quote:But just tried to search ebay, and saw this: very nice replica, not fake. Only 18 minted (as per description) http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1937-Canada-...em43d1f2ca90 This is a silver plated coin. Looks like it was struck through debris at the top by the date through to the Unicorns Flag - wire like debris or thread on the reverse, and under the G on the obverse. Additional two crowns with E and R. Wonder what the weight in silver is, for $170 Canadian should be pure. Worried for the buyer of this one, no matter what the mintage. Sorry Silveroid, I would avoid this is a problem coin. |

Thank you SilverDon!
Was it mentioned there that it "silver plated"?
I see the listing removed...
Of cause it wasn't the coin, but I though, being pure silver, it could be nice round. But silver plated - no.

@Ravenzcoin. No, there is no more of them. RCM put these 2 last coins on the web site just a little bit ahead of time. |
