Is the "mintage" here per roll or coins?
I like them...feel that the long term loss is not significant, as for any other NCLT coin.

Order yours today!" This is what they have for the 2016 coins/rolls. "Previous 50-cent special wraps sold out quickly. Avoid disappointment, order yours today! " "Mintage 32000" Funny they don't emphasize the "Only ------ worldwide on the 2016s. |

Thank you Northerncoins nice and inexpensive item. I would like them be serialized (anyway it "Special Wrap", so why just not to stamp the serial number) Interesting, what will RCM mint for 2017 |

There is still 32,000 rolls, that's quite a few since not many are ever broken apart.

Question concerning the orientation of the coins in these rolls. Does the orientation of the coins on the end of these rolls have a bearing on the premium (ie heads on both ends or coat of arms on both ends)? Just curious or do they get rolled randomly?

I am sure we can get discounted rolls in next year....
some previous years' rolls were sold $20 by some dealers just months ago, and if lucky, we may only pay 5% GST, rather than GST+PST in some PTs

I think one end is the bust side and the other end is the coat of arms, just looking at a few rolls that I have, but I am sure some creative ebay seller will find a way to squeeze out extra money if they have a roll with a bust or coat of arms on each end... error roll... lol |

This item, just my preference, nothing else, I prefer to get from the Mint. Cause it like "Mint rolls"...and not Bank or dealer rolls.
(post- "trauma" from 2011, when I called the Mint month after release and they were sold out).

It's somewhat amusing to contemplate - the 50c piece - and its important role in circulation coinage considering it was the largest decimal coin for decades, prior to the introduction of the SD in 1935. Even though it's existence in a pocket full of change now at best is a long ago memory, for any of us who recall that, being handed a 50c was equally thrilling as getting a new bright red glowing copper penny.
Ever since 2013 and the introduction of "designer roll" packaging, rather regal, a different colour each year, for this reason it's regained a certain level of popularity. Well deserved, in my opinion.....

your comment about receiving a 'new bright red glowing copper penny' is my frustration of the mint continuing to release 50c pieces, despite being 'out of circulation for decades'(true definition of NCLT). Why couldn't they continue releasing the pennies in the same manner as they continue to this day, with the 50cent?

That is another opportunity for the RCM. I'm sure we will see something with pennies for 2017.  |

They certainly could, if they chose to. The one cent denomination remains on the list of eligible NCLT coinage on the Royal Canadian Mint Act. Something similar occurred in 1967 when the silver dollar was no longer minted for circulation. Due to high collector demand, RCM began selling collector silver dollars in 1971 through to present day. The difference between the 50c roll though, is technically they're minted for circulation although they fall into a grey area as they're not officially removed from the circulated coin list. Doesn't really make sense why not. I can't think of one good reason other than it's a comfortable number, a total of six different coins, the toonie now taking over the space of the penny. But perhaps RCM doesn't realize there may be a keen interest in collector 1c, I'd expect especially if they were issued in copper once again? The current focus seems to be mainly on what was once considered "giftware". In my opinion whenever there's a crossover between circulation and NCLT, it contributes positively to both types of coin collecting. |
