Interesting. Looks like the minimum purchase is a tube of 15. So, $765 + premium.
So, an interesting flipper opportunity.

For those that are still interested, I was told the mintage of these would be 500,000 max. I was able to place my order on Oct. 1 and received my coins today.  I think they are pretty nice looking but that is just my opinion. |

The coin does look nice. What is its diameter?
By chance, does anybody know where we can get one in Canada (at a price that is approaching reasonable)

The diameter of the coin is about 38.1mm. They are pretty thick coins, about 4.3mm thick.
I purchased 1 Roll of 15 coins for about 68.00 per coin, so there is a premium attached. Due to their thickness I am having trouble finding a capsule to store them safely individually. All mine look great to me so I separated them into flips so as to not cause any damage. If anyone knows of a capsule for slightly thicker coins that would be a great help!
I am surprised that none of these have shown up anywhere else. I would think other people would have them by now. Lear is the only distributor of them in North America so I don't know if that is a factor in people obtaining them or not.
Hopefully some of this info helps. I hope the rest of you that want one are able to obtain them at some point.

'PlatinumDuck' said "I purchased 1 Roll of 15 coins for about 68.00 per coin, so there is a premium attached"
Yup, to say the least, that's about $18/ounce over spot. For a bullion coin, I wasn't impressed. I was expecting to pick up a tube for under $900, but my quote today matched 'PlatinumDuck's' at $68.07/coin (1-1/2ounces)Current spot price I show at Kitco is $34/ounce or $51 per 1-1/2 ounces.

Well, as a collector coin I like the design (oohh shiny  !) and I am curious to see if they will go up/down with the silver prices/collector demand. |

At these prices, I'd be up for 2 or 3 coins, not a full tube. (for my collection only!)

Yup, I agree, I would probably only get one- maybe 2.

But if the people started to get the coins, and the minimal order is tube of 15 coins, so why nothing appears on the ebay? |
