Privy coin do not seem to hold their value. But I dont have enough data to say much than that, I saw that Tulip did but is that a mintage thing? I dunno, I will let my more experienced Canadian friends expound on that.
I could go on and talk about these privy coins but that would seem like a re-hash.
For a collector, these privy coins are nice. I can see someone wanting to have all the privy marks on a reverse proof maple leaf coin and privy marks on bullion maple leafs as well.
I would imagine that keeps a collection varied and interesting and in some ways is unique.
Does anyone here exclusively collect maple leafs, either reverse proof or bullion (no colored or enameled maple leafs)? How big would such a collection be?

^ "First in a never-ending series with more and more coins issued every year with themes that become more and more peripheral to Canada." OK, just being sarcastic... Oh, I thought you meant PRESS RELEASE rather than RELEASE PRICE. For the latter, check this site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canad...r_Maple_LeafTo answer your question, it was EUR45.95 according to the above. |

Rarest privy maples are, in order of rarity:
2014 Horse/Hieroglyphic Double Privy
2015 Fisher House Privy (Heart)
2015 F15 Privy Maple
2005 Liberation Privy (Tulip)
2007 F12 Privy Maple
The hardest privy maples to find in a good grade are any privy maples minted in 2004, ie Monkey Privy and all the Zodiac coins.

As I had mentioned a week or so back, Colonial Acres had those in their blowout special sale and it was a pretty good deal comparing with ebay. You can also see that coin has held its value since its initial release and I would suspect savvy collectors are hunting down these rarer coins because right now, these rare ones are the ones on "sale" where this downtrend is impacting all coins and eventually when this slump ends,,, these coins will get right back up. |

When you checking these Privy's Maples, do not forget, that: majority of above never have been issued as "bullion", but Numismatic edition, including "Tulip". It came in the capsule, COA and case. Similar to Chicago ANA and Berlin SML. The F15 SMLs have been priced CAD 99.95 The 2004 Zodiac came sealed with COA, right? No surprise, that together with low mintage, they became "hard to find". And this unlike the flood of current bullion privys (tube or "thermotron", no capsule) with high mintage, and available for each who will ask. |

This is very interesting out of 68 privies only 5 are in the top list for doing well. Other than issue price what is the difference between the bullion and numis versions of these coins. Is the numis version less prone to developing the dreaded milk spots. I read on silver stackers form the Perth Mint is working on this problem. A Perth Mint employee posted microscopic images of milk spots, its very interesting. He was asking for input from readers. A great read, hopefully they get a handle on it. When paying a high price I don't want any spots. Through my reading there's a lot of bullion that is plagued with spots, more than Canada. |

Maybe the reverse proof was an answer to the milk spot dilemma. I don't know if enough time has gone by to know yet, still these are quite a bit cheaper than collecting pandas. Collecting moderns period is kind of a drag.

This year will be my last year trying to keep up. There are just too many, and the premiums keep climbing. Couple that with the secondary market for these coins being dead ...

Couple that with the secondary market for these coins being dead Ya after selling off my reverse proof snake privy at a loss I don't get very excited about privy's any more, maybe a few are profitable for a short time then they go flat. Buy if you like them but don't expect to get rich reselling them. |
