I recently found out about this coin. After a couple of days thinking about it and watching videos, I picked up 5. So what do you peeps think about this coin?

[airmac]

Still don' have it yet. But I think it's a really nice one

[Lunar17]

It´s nice!

[tbone]

Really like it!

For some reason i never like coins with a fish in it... I have no idea why that is, but i don't feel attracted to it, even if there are some very nice coins on the market. Isn't this the coin that came in this special coin card by the way?

At first I didn't think much of this coin also, that is until I watched all the videos about it on youtube. The coin looks like a million bucks. I thought I liked the reverse maples and the Chiwoos, but this, I think I'm going to like more.

I don't  like fish on anything really, but my dinner plate. I completely agree with you. Maybe this is  the reason this coin isn't as popular?

Its my favorite coin.  The fish is great, but really sets it apart is the water and in hand it looks almost 3D.

I think the problem with coins in pictures and coins held in your hand is a whole world of difference. (I am a photographer  )

When I got my first panda, I was mesmerised by how it appeared in reality compared to the images and it made me want to collect more. Same with the Marlin, hence I hope they can continue...

As a keen fisherman id buy this coin should it become available, it's artistically correct and very striking 

[flim]

fish swim under water for a long time, once in a while it jump out of the water

fish with milk-spot ? may be fishy alright 

 

how would you store these coins, as the way the come in? on their carded paper?

[999magnum]

My Marlins came in.  The design of the water makes it look as if the Queen is floating in air. This really is a beautiful coin!

[999magnum]

It’s true. I’m in real deep. I just can’t get over how beautiful this coin is. The pictures just can’t capture how great this coin looks. 

 

Sorry if the pics are repetitive. I’m trying to find good ones that has captured all the ripples and waves. 

[AlphaBeast]

Video man, video! lol 

I have left mine in the cardboard wraps - but seeing your pics makes me happy! Beautiful! 

[BackyardBullion]

Here was my look at it on my in focus Friday series. I love it, very nice indeed.

 

[999magnum]

@BackyardBullion I must have watched your video 6 or 7 times

Maybe I'll start doing some amateur clips so others can see, but I'm too shy so it will be a thing to see for the future.

 

My plan was to leave them in their cardboard also, but I couldn't resist. The dark forces were too intense and I ripped the one on the end.

Lesson learnt I guess lol..don't worry, most of us have done this once at one point..better on this coin than a rarer coin!
