For people who still interested in the Perth Mint Opal Series: Colonial Acres has the last coin : "2013 Australian $1 Silver Proof Pygmy Possum 1oz Opal Series" for $89.95http://colonialacres.com/product/51...xempt?ref=47Added: They also have some neat pure copper rounds, Christmas themed IMO, not bad series, but I liked "Kangaroo" only, and only it purchased, and happy with this.

Thanks I saw that roll at C/A earlier today but I got a commitment yesterday from the Mint that they would 'look into it'.

lol. It's almost funny. I got an e-mail from a CSR telling me that someone else would 'look into it' and get back to me Monday at the latest. Then overnight, I got the standard order update e-mail showing me that it was 'processing'. It sounds like a half dozen people at the mint are wandering around looking for a roll of coins. Maybe they'll form a focus group or put out tenders on a environmental impact study. I'd hate to see their supply of red tape but I think I know where the term 'pass the buck' really originated. I actually had a roll from Colonial in the shopping cart but decided to wait to see what happen might magically happen next week. I haven't had much luck getting C/A to ship orders lately either, though I think it's a result of the Mint delays in getting coins to them.

Another sign of the times. Colonial Acres is having an ' RCM Surplus Sale'. "We currently have a surplus of Royal Canadian Mint Products and with the 2014's coming in, we have run out of space! Popular items priced to sell! Get them while supplies last."

Do they have a surplus of the 1st Glow in the Dark or Superman Gold Coin?

There are some good bargains if you look hard enough. I bought the Gold Plated SML 25th anniversary coin for $93.73. The Mint's issue price was $109.99.

If you take a look at the seller feedback, you will see that this transaction never concluded.
