included with this month's flyer, is a 'Special Notice' that Numismatic, non-circulation, and premium bullion coins issued in 2023 will have the double date 1952-2022 'mark' on the obverse separated by "4 pearls"

@Dcadon: Thanks for the update!
Is the list complete? I don't see a proof set - it's normally part of the Mint's first release.

Typically how long after this notice are the coins available for purchase on the mint's website for the general public? I don't see them listed there now.

RCM has to come up with new designs. Placing this "kit" on coins that no one has a clue who she is?. Another squandered opportunity compared to other country's output of coin designs. I ordered one thing this month and that was the 1/10th gold bullion with my accumulated points worth $300.00. Their new website sucks and I have no idea why they had to fix something that was not broken. I would love to be a fly on the wall when discussions on who to have on their coin designs are taking place. Will the RCM go broke for being so woke by ticking boxes?

@New1954... Not sure that I fully agree. I also had no idea who she was but in looking into "Kit" she was the world's first female war correspondent and this commemorates the 125 anniversary of her accreditation as a war correspondent... A Canadian first.
Part of the role for the NCLT is to allow us to reflect on our shared history... It could be argued that this is a significant milestone that has been lost to time for the mainstream and in this case, I can support this choice for subject matter both in the educational aspect and the broader exposure. There are many threads on this forum where we bemoan the re-tread subjects... Polar Bears, Eagles, Sports.. RCMP and heavens above... the Maple Leaf.
I was happy with last year's choices of Alexander Graham Bell and Oscar Peterson on the SD and Circulating Loon... and accept Kit Coleman as a legitimate candidate for a SD.
What is more interesting to me is that the Silver Proof set is not being released at the same time as the SD. I don't recall if this split has occurred in the past... Is it possible that the Silver Proof set gets a different SD design beyond Selective plating? Given the breadth of topics available this year... not least of which is a coronation... This might just be the opportunity to break this linkage.
It is also odd that the only Unc/Circulating sets released are the giftware ones. Normally January Release includes the annual Unc/Circ set... Again... maybe waiting until May for an Obverse change.
All of that said, it is hard to argue with your legitimate criticism of the new website,

@vonigohcr Thank you for your input and tis a great point of view. These coins will not sell out and will still be available for a long time just like the graham bell and oscar peterson coins that came out last year. "kit"'s story is an amazing one and deserves attention. Also, I did read somewhere today and I cannot remember where that the RCM will have no new circulation coins for 2023. So, just maybe tis the year of NCLT. LLLoolllllllll

The Kit Coleman SD is also to be part of a Special Edition Proof Set - maybe the 2023 SE Set will feature a more traditional portrait of Coleman, similar to last year's approach for the SD in the SE Set for AG Bell.

I was hoping that the selective plate version would see the light  ... I am not a fan of the artifact/word filled silhouette like the AG Bell coin last year or the 2012 UK Mint 2 Pound Dickens coin. I have seen too many lame PowerPoint presentations with these word cloud/artifact cloud graphics to be enthused by them. I also think that the RCM will want to retain room for a large KCIII offering that will likely land in May... We may see 2 Special Edition SDs to make room.

I went online to the RCM website to show my son the double dates on the coins in the Birthday, Baby and O'Canada sets. As I went through the pictures of the individual coins I noticed a boo boo, the 50 cent coin. These sets don't have a 50 cent coin. I guess when the uncirculated set comes out it will have the double dated 50 cent coin, and I would assume the 50 cent rolls will as well. When the uncirculated sets do come out, I imagine they will sell well if they have a double dated loon dollar.

Unfortunately, the gift sets haven't had a 50-cent piece in recent years at all
