Now there are gilded high relief Elephants dated 2013 and 2014.
I don't remember seeing anything about a gilded high relief coin in 2013. Did they release these after 2013?
The coin has a COA and is boxed the same as the original issue 2013 high relief. Mintage of 500.
Does that mean they sold 1000 regular high reliefs and then another 500 gilded high reliefs?
What's next? 500 colored 2013 high relief elephants? Then maybe 500 day and 500 night 2013 high relief colored elephants.
This series is becoming a joke. |

Now they are colorizing coins from back years as well. There is a new color scheme for the 2012 Somali Elephants. I wouldn't be surprised if they have produced more of the 2012s with the original color scheme as well.
They could actually create a new color scheme for each coin every year. So we would have the 2012 coin with the 2014 color scheme, and then we would get the 2012 coin with 2015 color scheme, etc.
Same with the gilded.
I think I'm done with the elephants. |

"Please note the this coin is colorized by a third party experienced company."
So it seems this third party company has copied the color scheme from the original day coin from the 2-coin day/night set. That day coin (with the orange sky) was exclusive to the set and there were only 500 sets issued.
It looks like they've come up with some new color schemes. And they also add gilding and holograms to coins.
I assume this will destroy the value of colorized coins, because they could just as well start colorizing and gilding back dated Somali and Zambia elephants to look like the original mint issued products.
And what's to stop them from copying Canadian and Australian colorized coins? |

| I would open it. You can always vacuum seal it again if you wish. |

Can anyone help me with a few answers?
Is parking free?
What time do I need to be there to get in quickly without early bird?
Will there be any ccf medals at the show (I didn't order one originally and have regretted it)?
Is there a concession stand inside?
Thanks
There is a fee for parking at the convention center.
The doors open to the public at 10am. You can get there a few minutes beforehand, pick up a name tag, and then join the crowd rushing the door.
There is a cafeteria. |

I don't understand the complaints. They put out a lot of different coins, and you are free to select the ones you want. When I buy something I never get upset that there are too many choices.
And besides that, if you you are the guys buying all the cheesy stuff they are putting out then you are the enablers. |
