I just received a shipping notice for this coin, don't see it on the website yet, pretty sure I cancelled all subscriptions after an earlier mint screwup.
The picture looks kind of interesting, fun like the snowman from last year.

I just received a shipping confirmation for this as well....only problem is it wont let me see what it looks like because it says the page is only available to masters club members (which I am not). I was under the impression that there was only supposed to be 4 coins to the subscription until they introduced the superman coin. I was unaware that there were supposed to be 5 and upped to 6. Perhaps I am wrong though.

I thought they were to release 4 each year for this series? I like it, I have the previous 3 2015 releases so I'll order this one too :)

Just received today, I like the design, it is fun and playful, much better than bugs bunny or superman.
I count 4 in the 20 for 20
- Soccer
- Bugs
- Superman
- Gingerbread
But it looks like they have now started a new series of 25 for 25, not sure how I feel about that, the colorized toboggan looks nice though.

Worst case, you won't lose anything on these coins.

I thought there were more this year for some reason. Don't forget the Canadian flag too. That was included in the 20 for 20 subscription. I'm mixed on the 25 for 25, I like the themes so far but thought it was just a one time thing...now that I have one, I cant very well stop at that. eventually the series will end (hopefully) and I can figure out a proper display box for it.

How are you all displaying them now? Any of you keep them attached to the COA as they shipped or is that just me?

According to the previous topics not few people found some box in order to display the coins together (not with COA) example:  |

I currently display mine in my 6 shelf glass display cabinet with the little acrylic art easel things, but if there is ever an end to this series I would like to do a shadow box type display with them semi-sunken in a wooden background so I can hang it like a picture. I believe earlier in the series someone had done this but now that this is a much bigger series it may not be able to hold them all.
I don't consider the card they came with a COA (pretty sure it was only the first coin that came with a true COA)so I just toss them in a box and forget about them. Couldn't even tell you where most of them are ATM.

Very nice displays, thank you for posting photos. Gives me ideas. Since I just started collecting this series, I think I'll have to go in search of the previous issues :)

Jackalope, where did you get that box? This is the good one.... Lighouse Volterra wooden box for square capsules, but ideally suitable for the round capsules different sizes. Holds up to 60 coins. Priced CAD 80 - 100. There is a similar exists, cheaper, the difference, that the cheaper box has trays not framed with wood. Try Colonial acres or CC&C for example. |

@ Jackalope that is a fine display, I really like the dark wood display. I find it really adds to the look of the display. Easels are another wonderful way to display a collection. For the smaller coins the cherry wood display make them pop. It's really too bad the mint doesn't offer collectors cases, it could be another revenue stream for them. Would like to see others ideas on display cases!
