Beautiful Coin

Beautiful coin! Displays well in nice included case. Love the chinese zodiac theme. Gift for my first-born child. Good value considering recent gold prices.

Gold Coin - Year of the Tiger (2010)
Only 2,500 coins worldwide
In 1998, the Lunar Cameo Coin Series was launched to great
acclaim and the enduring popularity of its theme has inspired
the introduction of a new series celebrating zodiacs from
the Chinese Lunar calendar. 2010 is the Year of the Tiger, the
zodiac that embodies all the character of this powerful and
breathtaking animal. This dynamic individual is determined to
live life to the fullest and will win fans all around as it pursues
its dreams with absolute abandon. Life with the rebellious Tiger
is never predictable—this colourful character keeps everyone
on their toes.
Year of the Tiger: 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986,
1998, 2010.
Future coins will be released during the Fall of the
preceeding year.

It's alright I guess.

Let's just say the picture is so much better. I plan on buying coins on a yearly basis, but if this is what the Mint is selling, I might as well changes hobbies.

Good if you're buying the whole series

Compared to the silver lotus series, which has very limited non-art stamping on the face, the face of the gold series coins seem relatively crowded with both 'Canada 2010' and '150 Dollars' appearing. Especially so given that the coin is smaller. For long term collectibility, I am also concerned that the series could be superseded in desirability by a future 99.9%+ gold series with the same lunar year theme. I love the art and look forward to the entire series but would have preferred to 'pay up' for 99.9% coins. I would not recommend the coin to friends if they didn't plan on buying the whole series.

purity and weight

being a set of great distinction of the chinese culture in gold coins. i do believe the RCM should increase the purity of coin and increase weight of coin. i think fatter rather than wider they still have room in display case for a fatter gold coin!!

Impressive Coin

This is an impressive coin done in 18K Gold. It displays extremely well - better than most. Even the different style box suits this coin and adds to the presentation. 5 Full Stars Encore - More of this.

This is a very nice coin. The whole collection will be beautiful when complete. I know RCM posts all coin specs. but i thought this coin was a little small for the price.

Glossy, gold coin, nice design

This is a great glossy, gold coin, that is reasonably thick or "fat" and wide enough to be impressive. A keeper.

Awsome coin. I only wish that it came with a box ~ like the Silver Lunar Lotus series. I bought this coin for my friend's newborn. Best quailty coin from the RCM that I bought this year.
