Just received my set and I have to say Canada Post and RCM did a fantastic job. I regret not buying the 50-cent coin separately.

Finally received my set in the mail this morning. Shipped on last Thursday.
I got a purple 25 shares issued to CARLISLE, MELLICK & CO, dated Nov. 1923. Didn't expect the certificate to be that huge! :) Love the 50 cent too.

I received my set today. It's definitely very high quality and the coins look fantastic. $140 including shipping I think is money well spent, considering the 50 cent coin itself is selling for $100+. It's like getting all the other stuff for free. One disappointing thing is that I thought it was supposed to come with a White Star Line stock certificate. Instead it had 100 shares of Apple Inc.

Just curious: How many different versions of stock certificate for Titanic Coin & Stamp Set?
- $5 share ( I received) - $10 share - $15 share - $20 share - $25 share - $100 share
Any others?

25 shares for me beautiful set. I had underestimated how nice the plated 50cent coin would look.

 I got 6 shares. Seems like a strange number. I'm still not sure of one thing. Are these replicas or real canceled shares?

Why the Titanic 50cents is more expensive than the $10 Silver Titanic coin on the second market? I have a look at both two, It seems the ship heads to different direction. So which one is right?

I think partially it's the mintage. We "believe" there are only 5,000 50-cent Titanics that are individually packaged in a clam-shell with a COA.

Sadly the public prefers paint over silver.

the Titanic 50 cents is more expensive than the $10 Silver Titanic coin on the second market... the $10 Silver Titanic coin total mintage = 20,000 but all were individually packaged in a clam-shell with a COA. Titanic 50 cents total mintage = 15,000 but only 5,000 50-cent Titanics were individually packaged in a clam-shell with a COA. the other 10,000 got put into the $140 sets.  Ya, I wish I knew they were going to hide 10,000 50-cent Titanics into the $140 sets.  when I ordered the $10 Silver Titanic coin, I could have got a Titanic 50 cents for $35  but I did not order one because ca mint stated total mintage = 15,000  and at that time they never said 10,000 50-cent Titanics would be available only in the $140 sets. Looks like this guy has a fake/copy 50-cent Titanic coin, the photo has '50 cents' missing on coin http://www.ebay.com/itm/15082415750....m1426.l2649
