Just a question, have they released any other coins yet with the exact special hologram technology used on the 2013 superman? And if so, are they "premium" popular?

Not for any of Superman / DC related. Do not remember other themed coins. As I understand, the 2013 "Metropolis", "The Shield" and "Man of Steel" demand more or less same premium on the secondary market. But not will say really popular.

Was just browsing ebay this morning and came across a set with the 2013 gold coin, it's only at $1150 right now with about 4 hours left. Looks like there is a reserve on it though. If anyone is interested here's the link : http://www.ebay.ca/itm/171888624078

Alright haha. I guess if someone sets the reserve too high people just tend not to bid and it looks like a good deal but it never ends up actually selling.

i e-mail and asked him what his reserve was... he said a little over 2000, but he wouldn't tell me the exact number... go figure... anyway, too much for my blood... I don't even really want the silver ones anyway... just the gold... lol

Didn't go to Toronto Fan Expo...
Will be same as previous years. All the SW Lego sets already in Lego and Disney stores and - all 2015 silver Superman coins I see still available at local PO branches...no Superman fans no collectors have interest to these items.

I think even CP still has stock, obviously this year was no rush, and I hope its not a yearly issue. The anniversary coins were special and generated a lot of comments and a good discussion, but like someone posted the RCM loves to milk dead cows. Is there anyone with an up to date superman collection. Its interesting the LT gold coin hasn't sold out yet and only a few reviews too. At least with the Looney Tune gold there's a pocket watch included, and still it doesn't seal the deal. My conclusion there is too many pop culture coins released and being expensive, there isn't enough collector interest. The world mints are doing pop culture to death. I wonder how Dr Who coins are doing, for me they started it all. Sellouts and instant price appreciation, its taken nclt collecting in a different direction. I wonder if these pop culture coins have added any new coin collectors.

You got to wonder about their inventory control, or are these returns. the RCM never stops amazing me. There is no rhyme or reason to their operating. In a hundred years there will be a vault discovery of unsold superman coins. Especially of these half ounce versions!

@ John I would agree, they make to many variations on a theme. Look how many LT coins were released. Someone commented that the RCM is becoming the Franklin mint, I did not want to believe. The coins have lost any imagination of past years and the quality is sinking. The frosting was beautiful in the 1980s, today is inferior. Also the early coins taught us about our history, if we read up on them. Today I look at most coins and go why. There has been too much push for innovation, as opposed to true craftsmanship with different finishes. The emphasis needs to be on the finishes. Also someone needs to get a cougar head right, its never matches the body! Too many coins they lose sight of quality control.
