has anyone got the new bug coins, I copied this pic from the bay,
and not sure of the colouring, is it plain pad printing cos that's would be a shame, as most bugs can have great irradiance coulours to them,
and the mint could of used the same type of glittery effect they used for the 2012/2013 Hyper Metallic sets
