The coin itself is unique and pretty cool; however, the shipping delay was incredibly frustrating.

I'm glad its here & it looks great. The info book that comes with it is well done as is the glow in the dark lettering on the package. It was supposed to arrive last spring! The Mint contacted once about 4 months after it was supposed to arrive, that was 3 months ago. Customer Service was pleasant and helpful, but spending 20 minutes on the phone both times I called was not pleasant.

Disappointed - No glowing Queen skeleton
2
While the glow in the dark Pachyrhinosaurus is fantastic, I was extremely disappointed to find that Queen didn't also have a glow in the dark skeleton on the other side of the coin. With this in mind, I would find the product hard to recommend and suspect that most other customers will be equally as disappointed as I.

Pretty happy with the coin. Took FOREVER for it to get delivered, as I guess they had some production problems.
