CC-Ottawa Pillar of the Community Canada 3690 Posts	Posted 02/27/2017 5:56 pm It looks like two Canadian flags and mountains in the background. The second set of arms could be some sort of cape? And I was wrong, the plated version looks worse, at least in Mario's latest image. Report this Post to the Staff
canuck1us Pillar of the Community United States 1002 Posts	Posted 02/27/2017 7:42 pm I wonder if there will also be two base metal proof sets with colourized silver dollars issued this year!?!? Edited by canuck1us 02/27/2017 7:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
headlessone Valued Member Canada 83 Posts	Posted 02/27/2017 7:49 pm Yes, two flags like wings, around neck is a "fur cape" , and bckgnd is Mt. Logan. Writeup says coin is in tradition of "allegorical" female figures. That is, every detail, it is claimed, stands for something or is symbolic. They explain it well, I guess. The 'viewfinder' doesn't work so I can't get much detail, however, the fingers holding the British North America Act remind me of the difficulty of drawing hands. Hard not to picture "her" without the hair. Like maybe they will use that visage more than once? Report this Post to the Staff

That's interesting. Each of Alex Coville's 1967 designs symbolized something as well. Edited by wildflowerAB 02/27/2017 9:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Mikesnickname Valued Member Canada 115 Posts	Posted 03/01/2017 12:15 am I just took a look at the Nocturnal Night Owl coin and all I have to say is 'wow'. I love how the obverse of Queen Elizabeth is also plated in black rhodium. Report this Post to the Staff
Electrum Pillar of the Community Canada 634 Posts	Posted 03/01/2017 01:09 am Silver Dollar stand alone works better than with gold enhanced yes... Sometimes enhancement doesn't actually enhance the design - less is better Report this Post to the Staff
Electrum Pillar of the Community Canada 634 Posts	Posted 03/01/2017 01:13 am New 3rd coin in series - battle of Dieppe well done... Always appealing when RCM delivers a war commemorative coin...it's what they do best...versus the gimmicky stuff... Report this Post to the Staff
Mikesnickname Valued Member Canada 115 Posts	Posted 03/01/2017 10:31 pm I've noticed two designs floating around for the Nocturnal Owl coin. If you go to ebay and look at coins.4.fun, the coin has a different design and description. You'll notice the moon is frosted and silver vs just black. Is this the coin from a different angle or maybe a prototype mocking of the coin? Edited by Mikesnickname 03/01/2017 10:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
CC-Ottawa Pillar of the Community Canada 3690 Posts	Posted 03/01/2017 11:28 pm cGJHl0LP9Ec Definitely, coins4fun's pic looks different with the silver moon than the actual coin in the video. Edited by CC-Ottawa 03/01/2017 11:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Silveroid Pillar of the Community Canada 6767 Posts	Posted 03/02/2017 07:56 am Quote: Is this the coin from a different angle or maybe a prototype mocking of the coin? I think, both are correct If you remember, there is a "Predator vs Prey" series, not by RCM (very nice imo), where the coins have been layered by Ruthenium (i think), so looking from the different angles, seemed that black turned to white and in opposite. Here, with this coin, seems to be different layers of 'proof' finish, looks differently from different angles. Report this Post to the Staff
Redzapsid Pillar of the Community Canada 1571 Posts	Posted 03/02/2017 07:59 am The RCM description says something about the shine of the moon illuminating the owl which matches the unplated moon image. Report this Post to the Staff
CC-Ottawa Pillar of the Community Canada 3690 Posts	Posted 03/02/2017 12:25 pm Quote: I think, both are correct Look at the video of the actual coin. The owl and the moon are clearly not the same finish. In the ebay seller's pic, they are the same finish. Kinda makes you wonder where he got that image. They cannot both be correct.

Redzapsid Pillar of the Community Canada 1571 Posts	Posted 03/02/2017 12:33 pm It's the same deal with the pink gold plated pennies. If you check the RCM website, it says products may actually be different than the images. I would assume the silver moon image was from before the final design Report this Post to the Staff
Silveroid Pillar of the Community Canada 6767 Posts	Posted 03/04/2017 10:41 am Did you guys lock already some orders, before prices going up? (Or down?) I am planning on Silver Dollar and Uncirculated set.... Report this Post to the Staff
