I posted this in the June release thread...but the new niobiums are taxable despite the 99.99% Pure Silver.  |

I like the coin, but it'll cost close to 161 dollars for me if it isn't tax free. I'll have to think about it some more.

This coin just got even worse. It's 20 dollars more than the last niobium series, it comes in a clamshell rather than a 'wooden' display and there is no option for a subscription for the set. In fact, I don't even see how many coins will be issued in the series. (That is one of my new pet peeves with the mint lately - open ended series where they don't reveal how many coins are planned for the series so you can't calculate the total cost of collecting the whole series.)
It's also extremely bugly in my opinion. I would be shocked if they sell even half of the 6500 mintage.

These coins have a niobium center, so they are not 100% pure silver, and therefore taxable. There is also an update on the Mint's web site saying there was an error describing the coin, and it is indeed taxable. (...applicable taxes apply...) |

I agree, this coin is really not attractive at all.
The mint's pushing their limits with higher prices, worse product as CC-Ottawa pointed out, no wood case this time.
I also don't see them adjusting prices for the market value of their raw materials. Silver is down 30% plus in the last couple of months and no pass through to their clients........?
IMO they're getting close to the point of buyer backlash.
Lets see if they keep selling out product with this limit of 1 on so many items too.

I like the moon coins as they are nice and simple. This one, I have a tough time seeing the two head. LoL

interesting to see the differences between pics from the mint and colonial acres. I think I like the pinker one better but suspect the coins will look more like the RCM photo. RCM:  Colonial Acres:  |

In the next few days, the Dinosaur will likely sell out, the Ag Allegory might sell out, the Loiusbourg could sell out but if the niobium does sell out, I'll eat my shorts. (not really - I'm not doing that.... again) Well, one comment at the Mint site says: "This is The Canadian mints Coin of the year Don't miss out on this one Best design and workman ship very fine detail The Mint is only selling 1 per customer if they sold them the way they use to they would sell out before the public would have a chance. Niobium is like Gold today it is a very scarce Product and expensive So don't let the price scare you This is a Great investment coin all around and should sell out quickly". |

I'll trade you a pound of niobium for an ounce of gold. It's primarily an industrial metal. As for investment value of the new niobium coin; I'd simply point to the last series. They'll let anyone comment on the RCM mint site as long as they hype the coins. Quote:

I receive emails all the time from the mint asking me to write a review of the coins I've bought. What a waste of my time ... if they aren't going to post my review why keep asking for it. I guess if I want to see my name on their site I'm going to have to blow sunshine up their ...  |

Does anybody else see an Astronaut adrift in space, with a space fish at the end of an umbilical cord - surrounded by stars and/or planets?
