NO KIDDING! You know, I knew this all along with probably thousands of other collectors, and even after numerious communications to them about this issue by CCN people, they alwasy stuck to their guns. The spin doctors there are saying the confusion stems from people using the term 'raised' and 'engraved' interchangibly. Not me! BTW, they are claiming there are only 200,000 of the raised 2's. For those are confused, the raised 2 is the one that doesn't appear to have been 'carved' with a chisel. Edited by Dollar1948 06/23/2010 5:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

laconic Valued Member Canada 168 Posts	Posted 06/23/2010 11:06 am I have 3 raised and about 200 engraved so I never believed the RCM after the dust settled in February. Most coin collectors did not either as the prices for the raised have always been higher. Speaks highly of collectors I think. Not even RCM mintage claims can influence collectors if they do not believe it. Report this Post to the Staff

PLEASE -- whoever is listening out there -- don't let anybody from the RCM get a commercial pilot's license or become a dentist! Report this Post to the Staff
