There is no buzz at all regarding Canadian NCLT coins. Very few collectors seem to care about new releases. It's a mixed bag of bad ingredients. Too many releases with odd/gimmicky designs. Hint to the RCM: if you hesitate on what to mint next year then just do nothing. Take a break. The outdated Rep concept does not help anymore. Get rid of them salesmen and lower the overall price. MC people will do just fine without a rep. The RCM has too many varieties of the same coin. That's really frustrating for collectors who must purchase entire sets just to get the one coins to complete their collection. Allow ALL varieties to be sold individually. Now. Talk about deceptive marketing/pictures on the RCM web site. Please. post the real COIN! Just mint one prototype and post it. Stop unfaithful CAD renderings! Beyond that. we have an awful second market opportunity, poor base metal value and bad customer service. What else? A cashless society with no concept of physical money. Long term that can't be helping our case. If we look closer, overall, perhaps the writing is indeed on the wall. |

95% of people out there see coins as the same as porcelain figurines. Just a collectible that clutters the house. They have no concept of hard money or hard assets, especially when they cost $100 over spot price and resell at 50% of purchase price (especially when you include ebay fees) |

@canadian_coins you make some excellent points and suggestions. Sad to say, I do not expect any changes because things have been going in the opposite direction for many years. Just my Two Cents worth... |

I looked at the 5 oz. bluenose and noticed that the mirror surfaces morphed into some sort of bump map effect. What is this?
Just like the modern heavy frost on the relief this is just another clever way of hiding mint defects. Indeed, defects are easily picked up on mirror surfaces.
So the Mint decided to break the mirror?

I didn't think much of it. I'm not certain it was meant to be a flat mirror finish. The first series in 2015 definitely had a texture to it. |

2019 Pysanka coin - with black'n'gold colour pattern with Judaic symbol in the middle Nice 3D Pysanka coin this year. No Judaic symbol, though. Sometimes a star is just a star, with no reference to race/religion. |

But nothing bad in mentioning any religion related attributes, if the elements of the design is same. To describe 6 pointed star, I can recall only as "Judaic star" or "Sheriff's star" Will agree, that this year, IMO the design of the coin is the best. |

To describe 6 pointed star, I can recall only as "Judaic star" or "Sheriff's star" My point is that you won't find any Jewish symbolism on a traditional Christian Easter egg which is used to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. |

 , you right here. I was very curious and found the 'original'. Here it is:  Together with this: is it by the chance the figure, resembles traditional symbol of one religion, appears on the item from other? |
