The only one that would temp me is the 1914 $5 premium hand selected.
Very few released today and it's the lowest mintage of all of the these coins. I think it's a relatively safe bet. It will probably sell out very soon.
With over 18k released today, the $10 hand select is the worse deal by far. For sure, that should be considered for bullion value.

I just bought the regular 1914 $5....I figured my expense is around $90 for the historical value.
I didn't go for the premium because I don't feel comfortable paying an extra $375 for something that the Mint is disclaiming anyway as far as grade goes.
That's my rationalization anyway.
I didn't see anywhere how the Mint is packaging the individual coins. Does anyone know?

I thought about the 1914 $5.00
Buy it in Canada I get charged tax
Buy it with my US address no tax, but the coin is not .999 pure duty will more than likely be tacked on
My local shop has these all ICCS graded in stock, with this news I imagine I will pick these up for under the $500

Thank you all for the advises and really helpful info.
Yeah, I will follow the "not sure - not buy", and will pass it this time. But IMO, the "Premium Selected" with the quantity of 291 makes this coin "rare". And "Hand Selected" for $500 it is also nice buy.
But I happy for those, who bought the coin and will enjoy it.
Congrats!

I bought 1914 $5 as well, this is going to be the oldest canadian coin I've collected.
I guess it's a sad day for those who alerady owns these coins

1912, 1913, 1914 $5 and $10 Gold Coins... It Would be nice if the mint told us how many of each are being sold for both the $5 and$10 series!

I bought 1914 $5.00 regular "Hand Selected" just now. Compared with J&M's price, it is not a bad deal.

Thanks for the info, commems! Seems like the 1914 $5 will be the next sold-out. Now I start wondering if ICCS will receive a lot of these to grade early next year. :)
