I got a reply from the RCM, which refuses to claim this as a mint error. However, it appears that the RCM was willing to give one of its major international retailers (Talisman Coins) a detailed explanation of the flaw that they are not claiming to be a defect. It has to do with the shape of the coin and how the gold fills out at the corners of the die. They did not reject coins that look like mine as defects. The capsules obviously need to be improved as well, even though it prevents all of these coins from getting a grade of 70.
As a native Ontarian, I feel that the RCM is part of my heritage, and it really let me down with this 'coin.' It's supposed to be one of the world's best mints. It claims to have made the world's first delta shaped coin (and the first Star Trek coin with face value). Unfortunately, they did not do so successfully in my opinion. The Perth Mint's silver delta shaped coin does not appear have to have any issues.
