It look beautiful. I just found the bird a bit difficult to assemble, (but I'm not crafty at the best of times). It is still standing though.

The Mint flew out of the gate with this single tribute coin first that is too similar to the bronze specimen and gold plated proof set coins. Yet we are without a circulating commemorative again.Had it been priced at less than [$], the responses wouldn't have been so negative. Certainly looks to be aimed at children, so why is it so expensive? I'm glad I waited to see what else the Mint had planned for 2012 and ordered the double loon and .999 silver loon instead.

why is this exspensive coin silver plated steel and not silver over nickle electroplated with bronze like regular loonies?Sometimes i think the mint is driven more by profit then quality!

The thing that gets me is that it could have been a great anniversary coin. If it had been done like the Proof Dollars.
