Especially since the mintage is going to be limited to 20,000.
I see that they are going to come out with a triceratops, I cant wait to see that one.

Well long time since I posted since been busy buying comics and silver bullion but today I picked up the new $4 Canadian dino coin. It has a Triceratops and is same as the first one in size and is 99.99% fine silver. I personally think the 2007 dino coin is a bit better then this years one when it comes to detail. Also I looked through 5 different 2008 ones looking for a nice coloured background where they do the special etching but nothing to fancy. Still a nice coin though.

Well as promised here is a pic of the 2009 T-Rex. In my opinion they did a way better job then the previous year (second year version) with the triceratops and maybe my email to them sunk in about quality
Anyways, I think they did a very good job and the etching is as nice as the first year version. Cost was $42.95cdn + pst and they seem to be selling well most likely due to the fact its a T-Rex. Now there is only one more left to go to complete the set which will be available 2010.

I didn't see an update on the Canada mint site either which was strange. I get mine however from my friends store who gets them from an other coin store that supplies the city with Canada Mint prduct. Funny enough I went and picked them up from the other store for my friends store lol.
