Hey Don, I see where you're coming from. We have to separate collecting coins and collecting bullion. If one is paying a 25% premium for a coin that one "hopes" will increase in value then one is losing from the get-go. I don't "collect" bullion; I change it from an ingot into art so I flip it almost instantly - no downside apart from demand, but like any product you have to offer something to the market that no one else has - and the RCM does just that. I just wish that they'd import some workers from other mints of the world to get an insight into what they're doing wrong, which is mass-producing a bad quality product in silver maples. No other mint seems to have this problem.

About anti-counterfeiting: any "respectable" mafia can afford some machines like a 3D scanner and 3D printer and enslave some people to run them. The tolerances are in the computer file down to the micrometer.

On a lighter note, silver grizzlies are finally affordable. I'll be picking one up next time I see one. They've been $50 for the longest time.

I agree with you on the quality issues, most of
my bullion has milk spots. Actually just noticed
milk spots on my 2015 Somalian Elephant so not a
problem limited to the RCM. Understand that some
proof nclt coins recently started showing spot
issues. They could do with some help on that I
agree. As for the counterfeiters, they will always
try to make something for nothing, they will be
caught, that's why I buy my coins from reputable
dealers, I'm sure I'll get stung some day.
I like the prices for bullion coins as well.
Paying $100 per ounce for nclt just seems silly
after buying bullion coins.

I've ordered one of the grey wolf coins via a friend. I can't wait to have it in hand.

P.S. Milk spots are clearly a huge issue when it comes to RCM coins. What can they do to eliminate milk spots?
