Thanks! When I said Pewter, though, I should have said "Nickel" finish. Sorry.

I like what I see in the picture above, which finish is that?

Um, I'm not really sure, as this is a CoinsandPins image, but they look like the nickel finish. The silver are shinier on the inside, do not have the contrast on the interior, like the nickel do.

PS - Wasn't there another coin about a year or so ago, based on this same incident?

Got my invoice this morning; payment sent. Thanks.

 

I thought I had seen a similar coin to this before but, as it turns out, it was the exact same coin and I even have one in antique silver that I got from CoinsAndPins back in August of 2007. At that time, this coin was being offered in Silver and Gold versions. I'm looking forward to the arrival of my Pewter (Nickel?) version.

 

PS - I do have a question about the icon. I've seen two icon versions: one on coincodes.com and another on the GC.com coin pages...

 

Red Poppy (on coincodes.com)

 

Red Remembrance Poppies (on GC.com)

 

All the activated Canadian Red Poppy Spy coins that I've seen have the Red Remembrance Poppy icon at the top of their pages. I always thought this coin was supposed to have the Red Poppy icon as seen on coincodes.com, but I do remember there having been some sort of controversy over the use of the poppy symbol?

Yes, I think there was. The Remembrance Poppy icon is the one that shows up. I didn't have anything to do with that. That's CoinsandPins fault. There were a couple of people who thought that we were showing disrespect for the Poppy Remembrance coin, but I assure you, no disrespect was intended. Merely amused chagrin that Americans inability to use Google when they come across something different from our generally boring coinage.

Is this the same coin just the wrong icon? If so let me know which one it should be and I can change it at coincodes.com
