I would have bought one if I had known, I never seem to know when new issues are available.

It's hard to tell what is going to sell out. I missed the 2 enamelled coins because for me they were really too expensive.This one was in my budget and I really liked it. Now that I have the coin it looks better than it did in the pictures. Bill Image:  beaver1.jpg27.42 KB |

Simply beautiful!  With a mintage of just 20,000 this was almost a certainty. I hope they'll still be floating around when I can afford one too. |

That is a really nice coin! Can you get square coin capsules? Or would you store this in a 2x2 self-adhesive?

I don't hear about the new coin issues either. I have tried a couple of times to subscribe to the RCM Newsletter but never receive anything. I know they will not take orders from outside of Canada (a rediculous policy) but I didn't think they would also apply that to emailing their latest issues news, etc. Wayne |

You gotta read the posts... This coin was discussed on the forum on September 15th. Two months ago. https://goccf.com/t/7990 |

Thanks Toast. That teaches me a lesson. I really think I read most all the posts in CCF, but obviously I missed that one.

I must say this is one of the nicest coin in my personal collection, and people always react strongly when they see it. This coin is a lot nicer than the pictures can show. I'm also very happy I could get one at the original price. What I heard is that even the RCM was surprised at the success of this one, and was sold out a lot faster than expected. 20,000 is not an ultra-small mintage limit, but I believe it sold out in less than a month. And yes, it now goes for about $150-$190, four months after its release. |

Like Brissyboy mentioned already,RCM sucks .Never got a newsletter from them,and when I get an e-mail with the new released stuff,it comes too late.That's my rant,now to add something constructive.This site posts the News Releases for RCM : http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/...i?okey=26887I go there sometimes and I read what their intentions are and I find it way better than the RCM site and specially how they deal with advertising their new releases. It is always that the limited coins ( the enamel, the square one, the 2 oz silver one),don't get mentioned,or when they do it's too late.But I get a lot of other junk that they are trying to promote. Sorry....couldn't help it,the second rant  |

That is a nice coin indeed.
I do have a couple of square coins of my own but good old round ones are still my favourites :)
I see the Canadian mint has the same "annoouncement" issues as our mint. Unless I check often enough, I get to know that some new coins are released after quite some time.
Luckily our commemoratives aren't that popular, they usually end up being discontinued rather than being sold out.
