Your Poppies have arrived. 

They are distributing these through a drug store chain, but I've only hit up one store so far.  Got you guys covered, though.  Let me know if there is anything else I can send you from the Great White North and I'll get these out sometime in the next week or so.  I've got concerts on both of the next two weekends, so I will most likely be running a little behind in shipping.  Nevertheless, they are reserved for you.  With a mintage of only 11 million, that's very low for a Canadian quarter.

Topher, I think you have my want list already, right?

I've got four of five quarters, and three of four dollars to send in payment for them.   Just waiting on Van Buren and Hawaii to make it out of the mint.

...somehow very appropriate for Poppy coins. 

Handy distribution channel...too bad our coins aren't done this way.

I'm pretty sure I have your list around here somewhere, but I'm not very organized at the moment.  I know there's a 2008 penny, all of the Olympic quarters so far, and a fake Toonie.  Was there anything else?

Hi Topher, how is every thing up North?

I think you hit it all, Chris.   Thanks!

I actually prefer just going to the bank to get the new releases.  Most of them are done through the RBC, and I can get an entire box of them if I really want to.  When they distribute through Tim Horton's or Shoppers Drug Mart, then you usually can't get more than a few at a time, and they're already opened and handled.  Very mildly, but I like to be the one to crack open the roll.

Hi Topher, how is every thing up North?  

It snowed last week and earlier this week, and today it's up to 17C!!!

Other than that, I'm just busy with work and gigs.  Haven't had much time for roll searching in a long time.  I hope to take my Christmas break to do some organizing of my coins.  I'm way behind on that!

When they distribute through Tim Horton's

My kind of drug store...I'll look for coins next time I'm up there.

Topher, any chance of adding myself to the list ..... or am I too late? Somehow missed this topic when you first put it up. Also was after some of the Olympic quarters. I have the first few, but not sure what they are up to as of now.

No problem.  Let me know which Olympic quarters you have, and I'll fill in the blanks.  We're supposed to get two more releases before the end of the year, but I don't know the release dates as they were both pushed back with the release of the poppy.

I really like odd shaped coins but have found they are oddly priced as well! Most of them are oddly HIGH! I too would be interested in the Poppy II but would like to know a little more. Simple things really....a photo or description and of course the cost!!!

[Topher]

OldDan, be careful.  Giving out that secret information could be dangerous.  Make sure one of these quarters isn't floating around your place, as we may just be keeping tabs on you already!  LOL

For anyone interested, I picked up an entire roll of them yesterday, and will crack it open to do my part to make sure everyone gets to enjoy these.  The entire roll cost me $10.40.  That's right, $0.26 each.  I am not looking to profit on these at all, and am only interested in trading for something else that I need.  That's all, so if anyone else wants them, I've got plenty.

I've got another concert tomorrow, so start sending your addresses and other Canadian coins you'd like, and I'll get care packages put together next week, along with wish lists.

[Topher]

Actually, OldDan has put up the picture of the original poppy coin.  It's awfully close, but slightly different.

Ha Topher if the Canadian Government has any interest in moveing south I would like to be the first to welcome them. Here where I live would be perfect place for there first out post. The U.S. Gov has allready abandon this part of the country.
