All the pics are at www.mint.ca

I just picked up the third installment (wheelchair curling) today. I haven't purchased the entire set as I'm buying them in rolls and filling my album from them. The rest go as trade bait to guys like rick.

 

wvrick, where's you pick them up from? Topher? ebay? someone else?
What did they end up costing you?

 

i ordered them from the canadian mint it toow about a week and a half to get them. about $ 20

 

which means we should get circulation rolls in about 3 months here..lol

 

direct from the RCM? is WV = West Virginia?

 

wes it is West Virginia

 

Weird, I heard about all the super-strict rules for anyone authorized to sell the Olympic coins, like not being able to advertise on the internet, or use pictures, or even generic words, for certain resellers, but I thought NO ONE was allowed to sell them outside of Canada, I figured this included the RCM website, I know no one else is, I wonder if the RCM is breaking one of the biggest rules set by VANOC? Or if the RCM is the only exception to that rule?

 

oops, my mistake, as of June 25 (or so) the RCM has an agreement, with the United States Olympic Committee, to allow sales of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic coins to the United States. I know the other big resellers don't have permission yet to sell outside of Canada....
