Thanks! I forgot about Canada Post, probably because they charge tax. However, it's good to keep in mind for emergencies.
Will go with 5% off at Gatewest. Even with $6.50 shipping it's still $11 less than Canada Post.
Cheers!

For what it is worth. Went to cp to order. They had 592 in their systems. My mom works there. I called mom to ask about it at nine am. She called me back at noon there were less then 200 left. I decided to get one.

The mintage is just too high for this coin, I can see it selling for issue price or lower in the coming months.

Canada Post does not charge tax on pure silver coins but does charge PST on them if you live in a province like BC which has a PST(7%). The RCM has the same policy. If you order from an out of province dealer you will not be charged any PST. For example, if you live in BC and you order from Gatewest Coins, which is located in Msnnitoba, you not be charged any PST. |

Expensive but Beautiful! Exactly the reaction I had. Great display piece, whether in a case or on a wall. Glad I ordered one and surprised it sold out so quickly, not to mention the shipping speed. |

Yeah, I guess we're just lucky here in B.C. I hardly ever buy from the P.O. because of the 7% tax in this province.
That's why I usually buy out of province, but occasionally will buy from the mint if no other dealer has the coin I want.
For example, I had to get the "My Matryoshka" doll coin from the mint (even with the 7% tax), not for my investment, but for investment in my Mom's happiness. She likes to collect these dolls, and will have a nice surprise for her birthday.
So, even if the price drops it's still worth it to me.

This one, although being commissioned with not limited mintage, far from traditional coin and disliked by many, have a chance to win COTY for innovation.
after all other stuff that flooded the market by other mints, this Maple Leaf "coin" at least simple and elegant. Except this, the commissioner Mint can "push" his friends in Europe to make a correct vote towards this coin.
Then it might be popular.

I finally saw this coin in person in my local post office. It certainly stands out.
What is the red maple leaf case made of? Is it plastic or cardboard?

According to Gatewest: "This coin is presented in a special wooden case"

Looks to be a big seller For mint - maybe, anyway they moved significant amount to commissioner. Majority of the collectors here, will not chase it, only if the price on the secondary market will increase. |
