Thanks for this release info! I always look forward to this monthly post.
Does anyone think that, given April 1 is the 100th anniversary of the RCAF, we might see a commemorative circulation coin released next week just like they did for the 100th anniversary of the Navy in 2010? Also, does the Mint normally announce the release of the yearly first strike uncirculated roll sets in advance of their release, or only on the day of their release like other circulation coins?

Dancing Ammolite Pure Silver Coin-Elements of Nature-Air (1st coin in the series) $799.95 plus taxes mintage: 925 (QEII) Why is this coin only 20.86 g and not 1oz. The RCM is really cutting back on the silver here. Especially at $903.94 with the included tax. On top of that it still has Queen Elizabeth II and not King Charles. With only 925 being minted and still not sold out atm, I'm not the least surprised. IMHO, this is cash grab and nothing else. I wouldn't purchase this coin as the coin isn't to my liking anyways. Just my thoughts on this particular item. |

Maybe there's lots of gold in this coin to make up the high cost. At that price I don't think this new series will go much beyond 2 coins. Looking at it it's not really appealing to me either.

I am looking forward to Coat of The Arms 50c piece.
Not overpriced oversized and not small one, but the nice 38mm coin.
It also not frosted proof, so frosting will not cover details of the relief.
Having great experience with dealers in recent years, most likely will order from them.

Maybe the Queen will be on the last 3 coins too. I would have ordered this one from a dealer too, but I took a chance on the Mint for this series subscription. No tax, I got the wooden display box, and free shipping.

I got the wooden display box, and free shipping. Agree, these are great goodies, specially the box which provides excellent display. My doubt in full set was: Cost - I preferred to spend less. Coin sizes when lined up together. All being 38mm, allowing great detalization of the reverse design, they sacrifice proportion of Canadian coins set.

Just cancelled my MC pre-release order. While sitting eating breakfast I noticed a dealer that has a TV show was offering 12% cashback. MC rewards can't compete with that.

Yeah, that right. Also decided to place my order with TV Show.
The cashback will cover shipping fees.

I was underestimating the efficiency of the dealer. Today I have got the coin. They also added 2 "regular" 2023 50-cent coins with KC III Very positive experience.  |

I received the 5 oz "Thin" coin of Emanuel Hahn's Original Sketch Parliament. It looks amazing! The etched detail on the 110mm coin is extremely sharp and the antique finish is perfect for the subject matter. The finish makes the coin look almost paper-like, which is not captured in the photos. Definitely one of my top 10 favourite coins. I included a 1939 dollar to compare the size.   |

@Canovision8: Very nice! Happy to hear you are pleased with the coin!
The coin makes it clear the precision with which Hahn approached the original design,
Thanks for sharing your images!
