I do think these "Bronze" coins will be a hit as everyone who sees them up close really likes them alot so it appears and if that is the case then the other silver and gold allegory coins will be in demand with their lower mintage's as people wanting to make the allegory "set" . That said there can only ever be 2000 full sets, and 8500 silver/bronze sets. or 6500 silver/ bronze sets I guess if all the 2000 gold coins are already in full sets.  Edited by Northerncoins

First NCLT. I think this coin will do well! It is part of an "annual offering"... so if RCM doesn't go crazy with these bronze coins, and only makes one a year (or in rare occasion), I can see this as a continuous "series" that people will collect. It's cheap for young and low income collectors and looks nice. I like it and see high potential on this one. Not on a flipping side, I guess it's a long-term investment. |

Nope. First NCLT was the 1908 specimen set with the bronze cent... mind you, it probably was easier to convert NCLT into LT back then. You just plucked the coins out of the set and spent them!

But if you really want to get fussy, then does anyone remember the 2004 silver Victory 5-cent set? Mintage of 20,000 and it included a bronze medal depicting the original 1944 reverse with King George VI on the obverse.   Even older, Test Token TT-100.5 (now TT-100.4, 2013 Charlton Catalogue) http://caimages.collectors.com/coin...CGS_MS69.jpg"Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

Bad typo by the mint.
95%copper,5%zinc alloy is brass,not bronze.
It is the first brass coin issued by the mint.

Tokens,cores,patterns,medals etc. are not coins IMO.
PS-I wouldn't classify the toonie cores as brass because they contain no zinc.

True. Except the counterfeit versions from 2004 and 2005...

Back to the OP, are we talking about 3, 5, or 10 coins or 50+ coins?
If it's only a few coins (up to 10), I don't think it's really consider an investment (about $400).....
On the other hand, one can have as many ASE/SML as one can afford at less than $27/ea shipping included.

From Wikipedia: "There are many different bronze alloys but modern bronze is typically 88% copper and 12% tin"
having said that, the specs for this coin are 95% copper, which as others have pointed out, is the same as most of the pennies. So, as I consider the 'penny' as a copper coin, so is this mis-named $3.00 Copper Allegory. :)

It's not copper it's brass.
Beer is made from about 95% water.I don't see any brewers marketing it as "water".

I have my Bronze Allegories in hand and I think they are really nice. I think it's refreshing. Almost all of my other coins are silver. In my opinion they will be more popular to a wider group of people because of the color difference and also the price is reasonable (I don't care about melt value and RCM profit). |
