@vonigohcr: Thanks much for the update!
I don't recall a release for which I had less interest.
How many more Maple Leaf variations is the Mint going to market? For me, it has already passed the limit!

Thanks for the heads up.
Steven Bromberg mentioned something about coronation in last Coin Show, so I expect a few coins about this topic. Maybe they will release them around May 6.

do you happen to know the on sale date to the public? My MC status gets me an advance notification of the releases by 7 days... I anticipate these going on general sale on May 1 +/- a day or so. Given the coronation on May 6, I also anticipate that there will be a second release in May to issue all of the KCIII obverse product though that may roll out over the course of the year. Quote:

Given the popularity of the Maple Leaf, I think the MInt will continue to market as many they could. They must be a big money maker as they always sell out. I guess it is a matter of preference because I don't mind the many maple leaf designs. This years high relief silver maple leaf with gold accents looks stunning. On the other, how many eagle or polar bear designs do we need? From Canadian Coin & Currency:

The reuse of core designs is one such method. I think this is the fundamental issue with many long term Canadian NCLT collectors. It has been said that the technical quality of the RCM NCLT is exceptional and while there are the odd errors that escape the factory, this is in general a legitimate statement. The other aspect to NCLT is the designs and this is where I have become somewhat jaded with the RCM. I am over and done with the Maple Leaf basic and variant designs. I will continue to buy bullion SML & GMLs but only as bullion. Polar Bears, Eagles, Caribou, Moose,bison and Hockey have all been done over and over again. In the last decade, there have been a few outstanding designs... I would call out coins such as the Angel of Victory (10oz Silver from 2018), the 2015 Moon Mask series in silver and gold, the Provincial Flower series (1.1 - 1.2 Oz oz gold $350 series from 1998-2011) ... It disappointed me when this series wrapped, it was replaced with yet another "Iconic moose, wolf, elk" set. I am also a fan of the specimen $1 series that started in 1997 with birds and has since evolved to Endangered Species... But it is hard to look at an annual catalogue and not get lost/bored with the number of rehashed, renewed, revisited, reimagined items. In some cases, it takes a while but the Peace dollar was damaged from a compelling design to 2 years of reissues with only finishing changes... There appear to be 2 competing visions for the RCM. A mass market manufacturer of giftware (Oh Canada etc.) and a boutique mint issuing compelling small volume designs such as those noted above. It is the overlap where the boutique tries to go mass market where I get turned off.

I did order the one ounce gold plated maple leaf as well as the 5 ounce maple leaf as these will probably and I say MAY BE the final coins with QEII on them as Charles will be crowned on May 6th. Will we get the new offerings for the June release with him newly crowned?
who knows.......
