Thank you for this late news on a beautiful Royal Canadian Mint ground-breaking coin! The stunning coin graces the cover of the RCM 2015 #11 catalog mailed to customers over a month ago. The catalog cover states “Collect Our First Ice-Effect Coin – Inside! In stores and at Mint.ca starting November 3” and features a large image of the colorful coin on the cover & also on the inside of the front cover with specifications depicting the fine detail & color of nature’s beauty in winter.
As your article states, 77% of the low mintage of 8,000 coins are already sold, making an amazing gift for the holidays it looks like from the response of customers. The popularity of this groundbreaking coin is probably due in part to it being the first RCM coin with a high gloss overlay that gives the appearance of ice on the tree limbs & red berries. It makes me feel cold just holding this numismatic masterpiece with fond memories of having lived in the north of Japan & in the Bavaria region of Germany where such scenes are similar in wintertime. Get your cup of hot cocoa, sit back & relax & enjoy the view as this breathtaking coin increases your enjoyment of the tripartite coin hobby/industry/science. And just maybe you might receive a nice “dividend” when the coin sells out if you purchase an extra one to sell in the secondary market. This is the U.S.A. afterall, where i live, & capitalism & greed reign best at holiday time!
Speaking of dividends Mr Darrin Lee Unser, your readers should know that CoinNews.net is a member of the RCM’s “affiliate program” and receives a 5% fee on the total purchase price for each time a reader clicks on the light blue hyperlinks in your articles & makes a coin purchase.
Let’s all support this Unser family coin blog website which brings us the most up-to-date numismatic news to keep us informed on late-breaking coin news!
Thank you again Darrin Lee Unser, Mike Unser & Rhonda (Kay) Unser for a fine numismatic blog website. I wish you all Happy Holidays & Season’s Greetings from warm Texas (Hanukkah is just around the corner starting the night of December 6th, so 8 of these coins would make great gelt gifts for my family, friends & business associates.) Lucky money for sure! Happy collecting to everyone.
