well after two weeks of waiting, and 5 levels of management i've been effectively told the following. (in short to sum it they told me to F off)

1. Coins are not allowed to be sent letter mail, effectively countering what the post office wrongly told me, and though Canada Post is liable for the loss because they didn't tell me the proper information they will not do anything about it.
2. No one is willing or has a high enough ability to refund the outstanding amount of cost to replace the coins.
3. Canada Post staff has stolen the coins as they after 20+ days can't find them at any of the lost items areas, or undeliverable mail offices. (my interpretations of what happened)
4. Canada Post sucks and should be sold.



GOC is going to front the cash to have these coins that are missing redone and sent out again.

Coins Re-Issued will have an R behind the number to note as a re-issue

Sorry for the wait on action, we are contacting the minting company tonight.

In the ongoing saga of the coins, the minting company now wants 4 times the cost that i was recently quoted to just engrave the coins.

As such they will be coming non engraved, at which time they may or may not be engraved before going to their original homes.

Yep. Lots of places sell different sizes, you can buy just numbers or letters. Maybe do a -1 instead of R and no letters needed. Sets cheap typically though.

I've punched lots of brass disks with different sizes. Practice, draw a line with a pencil if hand stamping, reset in the mark after every strike. Harder hits not always better. Depending on curve, multiple hits to fill in. But nice results can be had.

It's not censoring, it's reminding us of our manners...you can say whatever you want...but it might cost you...me...

It is quite doable and easier than you may think. Pick a subject and ramble on for posts on end. Show up with a project you are working on and give a day by day update. Comment on other threads, everyone has an opinion(just keep it polite)(most of the time). If you really want to get a coin, bribe the moderators and current coin holders with copious amounts of quality bacon, everyone has a price! (JK)! Enjoy your time spent here and get involved, it's the members who make the forum what it is.

If you're going to use a cream pie, it should be filled with steelies and be made of something not nearly as delicious as actual cream pie.

The whole point of a cream pie is that it's embarrassing, takes a minute to scrape off, but can't actually hurt anyone. And of course makes the nightly news. I admit I'm not up on my cream pie throwing etiquette, but I think throwing the aluminum pie plate as well is a no no.

There were a rash of them thrown during the last federal Liberal government, at least one of which the thrower having purchased the pie less than an hour before the event, honestly foolishly regretfully didn't wait long enough for it to thaw. The thrower and the MP were lucky it didn't hit the face and draw blood. Basically it was a two pound frozen rock.

I was referencing the Arab or Muslim act of great indignity by the throwing of footwear. Not necessarily any actual injury. The act is a greater shame than a jovial cream pie at our resident cream puff.

Now, is there a different or equal credit towards a GOC coin or other award for following either course of embarrassing or humiliating our fearful leader?

Just wanted to suggest this here, before it hijacks an introduction thread by a new member.


Seeing as how Alberta has a feral swine problem, I await the first Great GOC Bacon Shoot. I think it would be a great event, get great publicity if played right, and could be a wonderful fundraiser with a killer afterparty.

How viable is this?
