Special Edition Specimen Set - Young Lynx (2010)
Unique $2 lynx coin only available with this set!
Highlights:
This set features the specimen finish traditionally cherished by coin
collectors (brilliant and frosted relief on a lined background) and is the
only set to offer the limited-edition two-dollar coin featuring Lynx kits.
Coin design:
Two young lynx kits atop a hollowed-out tree trunk.
Meet the “grey ghost of
the North.”
There’s a one-of-a-kind $2 coin waiting to delight
you in this very special specimen set. It celebrates
the reclusive Lynx, a beautiful wildcat that is easily
confused with the Bobcat, but can be distinguished
by its oversized paws; shorter, black-tipped tail;
long, thick fur; prominent face ruffs and distinct
ear tufts.
Females usually produce a single litter of 3-4
young between May and July. They are born under
uprooted trees or in hollow logs typical of the boreal
forest. Lynx kits look like domestic kittens. They are
reared solely by their mother but will be ready to
establish their own range by the following spring.

I saw it on line and bought it because I like animals and also because it was almost sold out.

I was unimpressed with the $2 coin. It was to feature the Lynx but it still had a clip art polar bear on it opposite the date, Why? That ruins the theme of the coin and all I see is poor design and poor marketing. This should have been made with better detail in the design and offered in a specimen set with the "special" dollar coin. Other countries (UK) make a set and have all the variations included in each type of issue, Unc, Specimen, and Proof. I feel bad for giving this review, but I hope it helps to restore some common sense to how the coin sets are put together. The idea of the coin appeals to me but its poor design and having to purchase a whole second specimen set makes it a waste of money.

Not Up To Your High Standards

The artist has, in my opinion, cut corners and not provided the detail. Hence the ability of execution shown is poor which makes for a poor quality coin. It also lacks the proper shading. I am perplexed as to how you even would accept such a poor rendition. As the quality of the item should determine the cost, this coin/set in now highly over priced.
