I love everything about these coins! You should get them!

The packaging is very cheap, but my biggest beef is that the $0.50 coin was not minted properly. There are huge (red!!!) scratches (like ridges) on the rim of the coin as if the coin had been grabbed by pliers when it was still hot. I don't know if that will make the coin worth more one day, but I was greatly disappointed. I buy a lot of coins from the RCM and it is the first time I am really, really disappointed.

very poor packaging it was supposed to come in a stiff white plastic display instead it came in a cheapo crinkly pliofilm. i was not impressed especially since you charge a dollar more this year for one less coin how do i ensure getting the right product and its right packaging in 2014? can someone respond if you know please?i won;t get any next year if it is packaged without the hard plastic display

I was excited to give this as a gift to my 13 nephew, who loves collecting coins, for his birthday. We were extremely disappointed with the presentation and packaging. The picture on-line shows some kind of presentation package or holder, but his set arrived in little plastic bags in a basic bubble envelope. It greatly detracted from the charm of the gift. What do you have to do to receive an adequate coin holder?

I have been collecting coins for 55 years and here is a one of a kind offering from the mint with limited mintage and all I read from the above is complaining. I have never bought from the Canadian mint before but with their limited mintage offerings and the quality of the mint set all I see is a worthwhile investment. All you complainers watch the secondary market when the price goes up you will be sorry you didn't invest. Look at the mint rolls of the last penny, it is now selling on the secondary market for $39.00 dollars a roll.

I've read that these have a different finish, but honestly they look like pocket change without all the scratches an marks. Great examples of what coins look like when the leave the mint.

Poor quality packaging. For those people complaining that there is no penny....why would you expect there to be? The last pennies were minted in 2012; there are no 2013 pennies. Why would you expect there to be one in a CIRCULATION set?

Its really disapointing with the wrapping and packaging as it is of low quality, cheap and unpresentable as a gift at all. Not to mention the missing of 1 cent coin for it is the last year of it's legal circulation status.

I was surprised to see so many people complaining about the lack of a penny in this set.This is the reason I bought the set, I have last years circulation set with the penny and wanted to bookend it with this,the first circulation set where there is no penny.I felt it was a good way to document the history of Canadian coins.My only thought is that maybe all the full coin sets this year should have at least held the same price as last year instead of going up since they are all one less coin this year...just a thought...

I have been collecting these sets for my grandchildren since the year they were born. It is so disapointing to see the one-cent coin missing from the set. The price keeps going up on these sets and we keep getting less and less for our money. I would advise friends to buy a different set - perhaps the specimen set for a better value.
