I see that this years (2018) Maple Leaf Quartet, there is no mention of the silver content. That BS last year about 'Nominal content' must have hit some sort of nerve, so they dropped the 1/4 ounce each part... and just listed them as 11.85 gm each.

I stick by my belief that last years was a mistake, and they should have never issued a statement that 11.93 grams (47.72 gm total for 4) is "nominally 1/4 ounce of silver" and that weights and measures Canada should have made them recall a defective product.

That is what is going to make this coin worth something in the future, but actual and nominal weight difference isn't all the rare in coin collecting. It's just rare to see it at such a high degree like being out by 1/2 ounce.

I'm just surprise someone hasn't pulled their head out of their collective butts at RCM and figured out that this coin should be a 2 Oz coin with 1/2 ounce pieces, this would have been easy to make there "Size" requirement as so they claim the reason for the screw up. Regardless I still think its a unique coin and I will enjoy in my collection for years to come.

@Beercules, good suggestion because then it would be the same idea as the fractional sets, just in a different format and package.

Cheers!
