I'm unsure as to amount of money so far. I can't say my habits have changed, I still buy coins but I do have to admit the money I've spent so far has mostly gone to older coins I've wanted but could't justify. I wait until I feel the price is a little more within reason.
2014 hasn't all been bad. I know some people didn't like the 50cent beaver but I thought it was nice. A little pricey but regardless nice. Still waiting for my second great lakes coin ( lets hope with no defects )The specimen loonie was well done as always. There isn't anything hot but there are still some nice ones. The 2014 silver proof set looks nice but I'm going to see if I can get it for a lower amount down the road.

 Yes, will be interesting to see. Specially, taking in account this fact, that The Coin Shoppe has it for issue price ($2,299.95) very high price, in order to try making money on it on ebay.... |

My guess would be $1800 US. Factor in the seller is from Italy and some people might be skeptical to purchase from overseas. I'll give the seller credit, has a lot of positive feedback.

I think including low-mintage specialty items like the 5 ounce silver and kilo gold releases skews these numbers in a significant way, and does a disservice to your message, which I, and I daresay many other members agree with.

Feel free to compile your own incomplete data if you wish but once one starts excluding data to support their message, that message generally become irrelevant.

Well, that snowy eagle kilo coin went for 2070 shipping, USD. Not bad....
amazing how much lower than even the lowest dealer price its going for at market prices...
Now thats how I would buy a kilo coin... proof finish, like this, and at auction

I saw 4 items on the RCM's New Releases page that are "awaiting stock" and the "ADD TO CART" button is disabled. There appears to be some demand, unless this is just a clever tactic to give an impression. I certainly did not contribute to that demand. |

If you factor in the US$50 shipping fee, the coin is more expensive than from dealers who are selling it for list or below. For example, Gatewest Coins is selling it for $2300 - $115 VIP = $2185. |

I would argue that those items skew the data and act as a counterpoint to your own message. An average that is not a true average is of little use.

(Snowy Owl) 500 x $2299 = $1,149,500
(Lake Superior) 10000 x $114.95 = $1,149,500

I guess my point is and was.... doing the auction method from a known dealer on ebay is better than buying at retail. |
