Ok, brace yourselves... just out of curiousity, I called Canada Post philatelic center to see if they are selling the $100 bison coin. Yes they are, but they won't take any orders until June 26th.. limit 5 coins... nothing exciting there...  ok, now for the amazing part...ahem...  Canada Post will be charging a premium of $25 for each coin! First time ever! So each coin will be $125!   Might be a good idea to try CP outlets, but I imagine they will say the same thing or something similar... This will be a winner series...!! |

Ugh, I'm not too bright! Hummed and hawed over this one, called them just now and got put on the waitlist. For those slow people like me, Colonial Acres is taking pre-orders at $119.95. Better than the $125 CP is going to charge.

Thanks much NuMoosematist! Love that name, BTW!
@ rp14, you're right about CP's premium on the $20 for $20's. But the $100 coin is still only one coin. So a $25 premium on one coin is pretty hefty.
@ thehulk, I think gatewestcoin.com sells it for $114.95 and it's in stock...
BTW, the $20 wolf coin is now awaiting stock.

Margins vs dollar value, in the same statement, you wouldn't want to be selling something for $5.95 extra for something that's worth a lot.
In the end, as long as its an acceptable margin that a customer is willing to pay, the percentages are just that, percentages.

Colonial Acres had 25 for pre sale yesterday , now down to 20 remaining. Dont wait too long if your thinking of ordering from them, I give it 2 days tops and the pre sales will be sold. maybe less.

Doesn't really matter if you get it at the coin dealer or canada post!
Canada post is $5-10 more but you get free shipping.
Coin dealers are slightly cheaper but charge shipping of $6.50-$15

There are better ways to circumvent the shipping if you know how to play your cards right and get them shipped from the Mint. =)
