There is a logic, but randomly applied. I've got all the items of the previous (April release), in separate shipments from RCM...except GB coin (but received it from CC&C).

I don't know between MC members, but I think those who are not MC like me so we pay for shipping, it get faster. All orders I made since February have arrived quickly.
My last order was may 2nd and it has been shipped on may 3rd (Skimmer, Artic and Wolf)!

They give new accounts priority. Probably to lull you into thinking quick shipping is SOP. It's not. 2-5 months delays are common especially if you spend thousands of dollars with them. Kinda like cell phone companies who give the best deals to new customers and screw their most loyal patrons until we get fed up and switch carriers. Too bad there is only one Canadian mint....

I am a MC member and I even recently got a rep. The orders certainly have not come quickly for me. Still waiting 5 months for my 1914 $5 gold coins. Yet people who ordered gold coins in the last few weeks have received them.

MoneyPenny, I highly recommend that you call the mint on Monday and insist on speaking to a supervisor. Once you have explained how long you have been waiting for your 1914 gold coins and expressed your serious displeasure, I am sure that your order will be made a priority and you should receive your coins by the end of the week.

Yeah, and now that there will be new releases every month, delays will get even longer! Quote:@allspice - Sorta...the prices have dropped significantly and the guy who bought it from me before for $285 did not want to go through with it since he saw other on ebay which arrived but I cannot wait to see it! I will still be selling one and will still make a profit just how much I do not know That's a bummer, Tristen, all due to delays. Prices probably are down for now because of butterfly flooding on ebay, but once the flood passes, the prices should rise again, like it did with the 5-coin penny set. Hang in there!

@allspice - I think I will hold onto it until I want something then I will sell it. I am crossing my fingers it does go back up.

It looks like a couple of white marks on the head - difficult to tell from the pictures.
