HawkC026 Valued Member Canada 150 Posts	Posted 02/03/2011 3:37 pm That's odd. Maybe someone was in the middle of an update and decided to go on break instead If you look at the products pages http://www.mint.ca/store/buy/silver...ns-cat120006 you can see there were three ratings for this coin, but when you click on the coin to see the details you don't see any of the ratings. You can still see detailed rating for the other coins though. Report this Post to the Staff
coinsoldier Valued Member Canada 85 Posts	Posted 02/03/2011 5:21 pm I will have some of those $20.00 coins for sale towards the end of this month. If you are interested, contact me and I will add you to the list. Limit 1 per person. I will have 20 available for the first round. I have been pre-buying from people who each managed to get their 3 coins, so there will be a premium. Report this Post to the Staff
Koin Hunter Valued Member Canada 322 Posts	Posted 02/03/2011 6:53 pm Hey Hawk...I've seen the mint do this to special coins before...the page opens up different than regular...I read the reviews last nite...all praise for such a great deal....and yes you are correct ...you don't see them now...the real reviews will come in once we get the coin in hand...

canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 02/03/2011 9:39 pm So, I posted a review questioning the legitimacy of the "Legal Tender" statement and asked for clarification... what does it really mean, since we can't redeem in financial institutions (according to one Mint rep). The next thing I know, the reviews are GONE! Related incident? Hummmmmm... Edited by canadian_coins 02/03/2011 10:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 02/03/2011 10:06 pm I tried to scale 27mm $20 and a 27.13mm 50 cents: Report this Post to the Staff
rodime Valued Member Canada 276 Posts	Posted 02/03/2011 11:05 pm 27mm is about the size of a loonie. Besides, it's a quarter ounce, so about half the height of a silver maple. Report this Post to the Staff
canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 02/03/2011 11:15 pm You are correct rodime, in terms of weight, it is 7g like the loonie. Diameter of a loonie is 26.5 mm (11-sided) whereas the 50 cents is 27.13 mm, closer to 27mm (round) $20 dollar. I can't wait to have the coins in hand. PS. The coin on the Mint web page looks like a piedfort. No way it is that thick. Edited by canadian_coins 02/03/2011 11:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
rodime Valued Member Canada 276 Posts	Posted 02/04/2011 3:40 pm Pretty sure the 2011 maple piedfort was the same diametre, fyi. Report this Post to the Staff

canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 02/04/2011 9:38 pm Rodime, the piedfort was larger: 34mm, and over 4x times heavier: 31.39g Report this Post to the Staff
dialog_gvf Pillar of the Community Canada 1581 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 11:08 am This trend toward face value and free shipping offers is intriguing. Imagine if they did that next for a gold coin. Report this Post to the Staff
canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 11:57 am I think this also resurrected a 20-year old debate regarding the "Legal Tender" aspect of NCLT. I thought this was settled but apparently not. Report this Post to the Staff
