This set contains the Sir J.A.Mac. $2 coin, Flanders Fields $2 Anniversary coin, 25 cent flag coins coloured and non coloured, 25 cent poppy coins coloured and non-coloured. It's for sale at the RCM, 15000 Mintage. I probably won't buy it as I have multiples of these coins but if someone needs all the 2015 special edition coins this might be of interest. |

This somehow nice.....but if you missed all these coins from RCM, it still will be cheaper to buy them separate from ebay. But.... **it possible to buy it and to try to resell as "Remembrance pack" packaging error (without the card). Not all the people aware about this item. **or, together with grown interest of the people to colorized poppy quarter, while they try to secure as many as they can from all possible sources, possible to buy the pack, extract the colored poppy and spend the rest. |

Interesting this: These uncirculated coins have been carefully selected to provide you with the best examples of their kind. - See more at: http://www.mint.ca/store/coins/2015....Vjj_GHpfOrUI hadn't noticed in the recent past that RCM made any claim that coinage in Uncirculated Sets was any different from what gets tossed into rolls for general circulation.

They have used the same line, pretty much word for word, for uncirculated sets since 2011. Personally, I have a few of them prior to this 2015 set and the coins don't look any better than what I get in the FV circulation packs. Edited by CC-Ottawa

Don't think I will be buying it.
Have all the coins in packets that were face value now they
want face value and an extra $20.00 for the card folder.
Looks like the mint is jumping on the bandwagon.

Yep, I never buy these. I prefer the coin packs or the quarter rolls (roll of quarters are @ 14-15 is better then $20+ for this)

Thanks CC, I must not have noticed it before. Not really a surprise, mass produced by mechanical means, all pretty much identical. |

The mint really knows how to maximize profits. They should include the special edition coins with the uncirculated set, issuing it at years end for a few $ extra, then a person would have a complete year set. How many yrs have they come out with the special edition sets? It really too much for the set,$10 maybe.
