The glass butterfly will probably sellout first.

It's the 3rd coin of a quick sellout series and there will probably be a lot of sales based on Mother's Day.

The glass butterfly and the moon mask, which one will be sold out first?


My bet is the Moon Mask.
Although the Butterfly will be heavily hoarded, but the Moon Mask due to it's specifications will be attractive for the collectors, that will buy 1- 2 coins. And the mintage of 6.000 (Moon Mask) will play the role.

Btw:
Could someone explain me please - what is the meaning of these masks, what is their origin?
Would like to know, what exactly I want to own.

Why will the moon mask not be hoarded like the butterfly answer me that. Look at the price of the early ones they will both be big sellers but the mask should go first with no limits and lower mintage.

with silveroid and elk

I bet on the moon mask this round.

@silveroid, the native masks were mainly used for the ceremonial purpose by tribes.

I'm going with the butterfly to sell out first. The first moon mask did not sell out, but the aftermarket price went up when final mintage number turned out to be quite low. So this time around, people will buy it thinking the price will go up as well, but at $149.95, it's pretty expensive. I will probably get both, but my credit card will take another beating.

Just my guess:
Both the coins relatively expensive (~$150.00 , right?), and it's not easy to buy amounts of them by "general" people, who just want to try this game "buy and resell", so what I think - most attention of the people will be concentrated on the "well-known-by-everyone" glass insect.
This is the reason for hoarding this coin by most.

But anyway, I think, that the Moon Mask will be sellout first.

Thank you, BiBo, for clarifying.

Glass coin already has 5-10K buyers who are looking forward to this coin (collectors with ladybug and bumblebee in hands). Plus flippers and hoarders.
Mask coin is unexpected and very expensive (most expensive plain silver 1 oz).
So naturally butterfly will sell out faster.
UNLESS. RCM sends 5K of mask to dealers and sells only 1K (like bateman?) -> then it's 50/50 race.

I think more realistic question is: will butterfly sell out in 1 day?

When will the butterfly be released to MC members? I'm guessing it will sell out by day 2.

I just don't think the moon mask would be as appealing as the butterfly. At least your girlfriend/wife might forgive you if you get the butterfly than the moon mask.

Absolutely agree.

The butterfly is a "cute"
And the mask : "why did you buy that thing?"

I'm pretty sure it will sell out before the general public gets their hands on it.
