KoRnholio Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 http://www.mint.ca/store/product/product_exchange2011.jsp?itemId=prod1150003 Kind of a neat design. Took me a second to realize that the reflection in the water was different. They're charging $2.99+tax on the shipping, so they aren't quite $20 for $20 as the last ones were. I'll still be picking up at least 3 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Use coupon code "Mint 1" for free shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Do they still have the restriction that only Canadians can purchase the coins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For domestic, orders of $70 ship free, so you might want to see if there's some other stuff that totals an additional $10 to see if that also applies for int'l orders.

ccg Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Do they still have the restriction that only Canadians can purchase the coins? From buzkirk's response - not sure. The mintage on this one is 250k as opposed to 200k, but AFAIK, the distribution channels are more restricted - i.e. I don't think post offices are getting them as they're not in the PO catalogue.

KoRnholio Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I'll have to try that code on my next order It looks like they are available to certain non-Canadian countries (USA was on the list, among a few others). The shipping seemed high, I think the lowest cost international shipping method was $13 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Looks like they can be ordered from the US. Delivery seems to stay the same for 1 or 2 or 3 coins. I even added a few gold pieces and the delivery stayed the same. So it's not value or volume dependent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 In other RCM news, they're putting out what is supposedly the first of five "circulation" coins related to the Parks centennial. Why do I have a weird feeling they're going to be Canadian ATB quarters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saor Alba Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Pretty "clever" of the RCM to come out with a coin with about 6-7$ worth of silver, put a face value of $20 and sell it for that amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 And the PO sells it for $25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzkirk Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Has anyone in the US got theirs yet ? I ordered on the 7th, still waiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRnholio Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I ordered on the 5th so a full 3 weeks now, still no coin. I think I was told 4-6 weeks when I made my phone in order. Mint site shows that 86% of these coins are sold already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saor Alba Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I haven't ordered from the RCM in a few years so I cannot vouch for what their customer service is like now. But the USM - cheesy packaging, poor packing and sometimes damaged goods and usually very slowly mailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 That's the first 'reverse' proof I've liked the look of. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 That is a great looking coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRnholio Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Just got mine today The artwork on the cardboard holder is great. The mint cheaper out on the individual coin packaging though Just an airtight capsule inside a plain PVC flip. Nice little coin though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
