I just finished watching the first installment of the 2016 coin show on the Shopping Channel. Apparently Steven will appear the 1st Wednesday of each month to showcase new releases. Now I understand why my Rep is familiar with the coin The design is outstanding. Too bad its overpriced.
The ski chalet looked flat, with duller colors in comparison. The color didn't appear to have any texture to it.
Barely flashed the sold out 2 oz moonlight wolf coin. Its why I tuned in to watch. It was a tease, a quick flash.
The parliament high relief coin looked well done. A lot of texture to the coin. It was interesting, as was the dragon coin. The packaging on the baby feet coin very well done. A great presentation for a gift! Definitely not the boring maroon clamshell. Spirit bear was beautifully engraved, a stunning piece.
Steven needs to do videos for the mints coins. Somehow the lighting just makes them look oh so good. No wonder they sell so many coins. Now with a monthly show, is this a new marketing technique for the mint.

Yeah there was 1 coin he apologized for putting prints on it. I don't recall which coin it was. It is nice seeing the coin out of capsule. Those coins just sparkle. The airplane coin looked detailed also. I just am not into war coins. There are a couple excepts.

I've heard Steve doesn't like gloves when holding coins Most if not all professional graders do not wear gloves. You're about 100 times more likely to drop a coin wearing gloves. You're better off ensuring clean hands and being careful. |
