I got a 2008 Silver Baby Loonie at the P/O today @ 50% off!! So lucky!!


Wha-a-at?

I searched where to buy it for issue, and since it "surrounded by rare 2007 Baby and 2008 wedding" siblings, everywhere the price is raised...

Great find, congratulations!

So that's where all 2007 Baby sets sitting

I was interested to learn that Canada Post sells Royal Canadian Mint coins, so I have been on the lookout. I have checked one Post Office and two postal outlets at Shopper's Drug Mart stores. I have seen very small selections in the display cases and prices the same as you can buy from the mint. I have found no deals and actually, coins for which the RCM offers free shipping are priced about $5 dollars higher. I guess the only "deal" would be saving the shipping on coins that you would pay shipping for from RCM. These are my findings from only 3 locations...results may vary.

Can anyone tell me if most Canada Post locations usually have larger inventories that are not on display and you have to ask for them?

They vary from store to store but you can request coins be sent to any location for pick up and don't pay shipping

The most current PO hunt it is for some rare UNESCO booklet and souvenir sheet stamps.
It happens Canada wide - people search for them and if available - buy as many as possible.

So, in this case, usually the buyer doesn't collect stamps, but they highly re-sellable.
If I remember correctly, the price is $10-$15, but the goes on ebay for $35-$50.

check the other forum - according to volumes of the items purchased - hundreds if not thousands of $$$ profit.
Do not think, that any coin hunt now-days will give the same.

This is the example of the item:
