I see Silvertowne say its "an exclusive" but no where does it state they commissioned it... and wouldn't they want to tell everyone about this, a feather in their cap, if that was the case?

mltung Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 05/09/2013 10:44 pm I don't think the RCMint would allow them to say that. Universal Coins did not say that they commissioned the Cartier coin a couple of years back even though you can only buy it from them. This major Canadian dealer does not have any eagles to offer. However, they told me that they would the ones coming back from the American dealer. Silvertowne is very strong in marketing. I do not have any doubts that they would be able to sell out their coins. So the question is, would it be difficult to get the other three coins of the series. Report this Post to the Staff
havanacoins Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 05/09/2013 11:30 pm Since #1 of the series was for sale from the mint, isn't it safe to assume the others in the series will also be up for sale from the RCM? Report this Post to the Staff
yup7676 Pillar of the Community United States 3789 Posts	Posted 05/10/2013 10:27 am My question is now, how "authentic" is this coin? Yes the RCM made it,,,, sold it on their site... but is this perhaps watered down? thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

elkslayer132 Pillar of the Community Canada 981 Posts	Posted 05/10/2013 12:03 pm What is a SilverTowne Exclusive? - SilverTowne "trademark" items that are custom minted at the SilverTowne Mint specifically for sale through our own retail and wholesale channels. - Coins that are produced by worldwide mints for which SilverTowne is the exclusive direct-from-the-mint dealer in the United States. They are only selling the coins for the mint NOWHERE DOES IT STATE IT IT THEIR COMMISSIONED COIN. If it was their coin they sure got a very small alotment of them less than 1000 of them which is not right because any commissioned coin you must take 75% of mintage per mint rules.

CC-Ottawa Pillar of the Community Canada 3690 Posts	Posted 05/10/2013 12:18 pm Clearly it is not even an exclusive for them - lots of other dealers are selling it. They had exactly 14% of the mintage (1050 of 7500) for sale. A decent number for sure so maybe they suggested the coin series and the RCM gave them a good allocation but I seriously doubt it was commissioned. I think the same could be said for Cdn Coins and the beavers/5oz Coronation coin. There is a big difference between inspiring/suggesting a design and commissioning a coin.

SA4H Pillar of the Community United States 2764 Posts	Posted 05/10/2013 4:55 pm It could just mean the are the "exclusive" (as the only authorized) dealer/distributor in USA (per elkslayer132's post). A marketing tool they are using. Report this Post to the Staff
yup7676 Pillar of the Community United States 3789 Posts	Posted 05/14/2013 5:59 pm Yea I am thinking about stepping away from this one, I feel like this is just a pure marketing ploy and as such I think I am going to wait and see wehre prices go on this one. I wanted one but I lost interest in the manner its being pushed by Silvertowne.. how "exclusive" is it when everyone else has it? Report this Post to the Staff

brexzz1 Valued Member Canada 348 Posts	Posted 05/14/2013 7:03 pm Prices on ebay falling. Glad I didn't buy any. Ugly coin. I think a lot of Masters club members got caught up in the hype when the first day the reps were all telling everyone it was 94% sold out. lol Report this Post to the Staff
yup7676 Pillar of the Community United States 3789 Posts	Posted 05/14/2013 7:10 pm thank you for everyone and their discussion about this coin, I learned a lot and it helped me cool my jets for wanting to add this coin to the collection. Report this Post to the Staff
arianzo Pillar of the Community Canada 2124 Posts	Posted 05/14/2013 9:40 pm It's too early to talk about the investment of this coin. About the design, all have been already said. Report this Post to the Staff
SA4H Pillar of the Community United States 2764 Posts	Posted 05/15/2013 04:21 am The reason why this coin was sold out early could be because of Silvertowne "exclusive" allotment took away about 13% of the mintage already..... Report this Post to the Staff
