I remember reading about this on this forum before, but can't seem to find that thread anymore. Are anybody reporting the same? I purchase my coins either directly from the RCM or from authorized/listed sellers. Aside from noticing the missing initials on my own collection, I have collectors that bought from me bring up authenticity issues as well.
A call to the RCM produced nothing. The customer service rep simply said all coins should appear physically as they appeared digitally, with the artist's initials...
Your insights?

| Been collecting for nigh on 10 years, and selling too, but I'm done. For me, it's been a downward slope for the RCM in terms of quality since around 2012. Way too many releases, way too many errors and issues between marketing and production, and way too many colours, rocks, glass, borderline Canadian associations, and other gimmicks. Heard the RCM spent north of $50,000.00 on just designing the new logo too.... The beauty and meaning behind RCM's NCLTs are too becoming too diluted. Smells more and more like the Franklin mint now, a private mint. A shame... Loved the RCM... |

Not for March in particular, but:
Heard tell (Canada Post) that there's going to be a Canadian ghost-themed series coming out, likely to continue with the glow in the dark tech.
Also heard (local dealer) that the bullion wildlife series will be followed by a series of bird-themed 1oz silver coins (mintage 1,000,000 as well) |

| I don't imaging the shipping cost will make much difference for the RCM. Seeing as how RCM's dealers have ~ 15% margin on their coins (meaning the RCM is still making money selling at 85% of issue price), the RCM can easily absorb the shipping cost on purchases of multiple coins. Add in the abysmal price of silver and the RCM's insistence on higher and higher prices, they might as well offer free shipping for all. |

As I understand it, enamelling is a manual task that is done by pushing an enamelling pen that is extruding the enamel back and forth over a surface to build up layers of enamel and achieve the effect. It's therefore almost a given that fine mirror surfaces be at least slightly damaged and that damage visible if the enamel is translucent.
Doesn't really bother me, still a beautiful coin |

Careful with the 'imaginative' sizing. I've heard of packages getting return to sender with no refund of shipping label.
Not being able to ship small packet in Canada became a none issue for me after a few claims of non-deliveries that is impossible to prove otherwise without a tracking number |
