Dcadon Rest in Peace Canada 1360 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 11:37 am Once again Commens, I must agree with you Quote: Why disappointing? The coin's final mintage will be based on actual demand for it and everyone who wants one will be able to get one. I'd like to see the mint get back to this. Take orders for coins, mint only to order and let the numbers fall where they will. If a coin doesn't do well at the mint, the issue is limited, and it's 'rarity' or value in the 2ndary market will go up. If it is a beautiful design, good price, and everybody wants one - the value will remain the same or fall... That would make it harder to predict where a coin will sit in the future. True collectors will collect what they want, and not what is hyped up every other month. With my phone's camera: Edited by Dcadon 10/14/2016 12:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
shopaholic Pillar of the Community Canada 789 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 7:03 pm I like the coin but I am quite partial to the packaging. Coins in these blister packs tend to tone after a few years. Is there a way to take the coin out (so that I can put it in a capsule) without damaging the packaging? Report this Post to the Staff

Is a glass needed to see the details? No doubt the coin is busy but I really like the look and feel. No magnifying glass is needed. Unlike regular 20x20 I had to destroy the packaging (which is not ideal) to get to the coin. But the surface finish is far superior - once you remove the sealed plastic layer... Mirror surfaces, no spots, very well done! However, I have mixed feelings with this coin. A $3 face value is a problem for me because this is a step back into the classic NCLT world.

canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 9:55 pm ^^Perhaps, but why not $20 face value? Report this Post to the Staff

wilsonwu89 Pillar of the Community Canada 706 Posts	Posted 10/17/2016 10:14 pm I actually support the move away from the $20 for $20 coins. Keeps those that take advantage of the system at bay. I really hope this doesn't happen to the RCM in the future but I can't help but feel it's coming... http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/...pt-them.html The person in the story got what he deserved. Unfortunately, people like him ruin it for the rest of us. Edited by wilsonwu89 10/17/2016 10:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
New1954 Pillar of the Community Canada 1027 Posts	Posted 10/18/2016 08:19 am @wilsonwu89 You are probably right on with your assessment of the situation with these new $3.00 face value coins selling at the same price as 20/20 coins. I wonder though how they would do this with the larger face value coins 100/100 and 200/200? Report this Post to the Staff
