Not very understand one point about this series:
The minage is not very low, and not precious metal,or not proof either, why the premium in market so high?
for some early birds in 2007/2008, just spend $300-400 to buy a piece of colorful nickel ?

Agree with Rockdaddy but recent grosbeaks are not doing too well...

They need to cut the mintage to maximum 20,000. IMO

Reminds me of Peter Griffin's favorite song.

 zzzhuge. Not worth the money. I return my evening grosbeak to CP. Pass this series. I find more interested in the PM new birds series. They are pure silver and looks nice. Got my budgie coin last week below issue price. |

@ Lostwords. PM bird series is great for own collection. Absolutely not for resale.  |

@bibo. Tell me about it. I brought 3 for the first one to save on shipping fee so I have to buy 3 for the second one to compliment them. I even have a tough time trying to sell them at cost.

@lostword. I bought the first and the second coin at TGB they have it for sale at close or sometime lower than issue price. So I don't need to worry about shipping fee as well as custom fee.
Also the price change few time a day, based on the silver spot price. I bought my first coin below $60.
If you in GTA, you can pick it up right at their office. No handling fee.
The way I always do is keep checking on their website, when I see the lowest price. I will place my order online to lock the price, and pick up later at their office.
Cheers

I don't buy the "there's no silver or gold in it so it's worthless" argument. By the same token, then nothing is worth collecting if it's not made with and purchased at the price of Au and Ag content.
Supply and demand (offer and demand :) ), intrinsic value and face value, bullion and NCLT, blah blah blah~~~ Justify it however you like, collecting is collecting.

There is noone said those colour coins (no silver, no gold) are "worthless".
But some (included me) just don't want to pay such high premium ($300-$500) for those coin.
That is our opinion. Not on behalf of all.

In my opinion, although they are attractive (at least to me), they really are not coins. Nothing wrong with collecting them if you like them, but it seems to me that in many ways they are much more similar to porcelain figurines than coins. Having said that, I *do* like them and eventually hope to have all of them! Lostwords, I suspect the grosbeaks will do much better on ebay once the Mint is officially out of them--right now the market is still being filled by first-run coins. I'm amazed people are even trying to sell them until they are sold out at the Mint. Bottom line, they're worth what people are willing to pay (note I do not say "stupid enough to pay" although one might interpret it that way) and there are still two out there that are going for prices that are more than I'm willing to pay!
