Happy to say that I'm not tempted by anything in the upcoming release.

Not even to complete the 1/2oz "O Canada" series? And what about "St George and the Dragon" coin? This (UK version) goes for $250 + on ebayAnd some color, brought by Animal coins and The Lake?  |

@Silveroid: 1) Never started the O'Canada set - no need to start now. 2) I don't believe comparing the upcoming banknote coin to the UK silver crown is a proper comparison, they are coins of very different pedigrees. The UK coin features a timeless design by Benedetto Pistrucci that has been synonymous with UK coinage for nearly two centuries and hasn't appeared on a silver crown in decades. I don't believe you can really compare that pedigree to the new RCM coin. 3) Colourized/bedazzled coins don't much interest me. I have a hard time considering them coins - I see them more as medals with a symbolic denomination as part of their design. Just my opinion, of course...

Was hoping the third duck (N. Pintail) would be part of November release. Guess not.

I will agree with commems, that RCM's "Banknote coin" with St George and the Dragon is not the same as British Sovereign, but very curious to see the design. |

Look, what I found available: http://www.govmint.com/item/Can-201...PR/242586/48The November release hasn't been announced yet by RCM for MC, but 2013 1/2 Oz Silver Colored Maple Leaf Matte PR already available at this dealer....interesting. And according the price - $49.95, I do not think, that RCM will distribute it for $59, as was initially said. ***Copy the URL to your browser, have no idea, why direct link doesn't work  |

Silveroid, If RCM lists for $59 then would it be cheaper to buy from govmint? Their International(Canada)shipping policy says: $10 in addition to normal charges; so it might even out or be more expensive; then again there would be no taxes. |

I ordered the first glow-in-the-dark dinosaur from govmint when they were sold out everywhere else. They were really good about having to send the coin late due to delays and even sent a gift to compensate along with a personal letter... |

allspice,
are their shipping rates to Canada reasonable?

the RCM price on that coin was published at $54.95CAD. It seems that $49.95 USD is reasonable. That coin was announced in January 2013 as part of the O Canada series. Am I missing something? BTW, it's 99.9 so tax is not an issue. Edited by CC-Ottawa

I actually less care for the price. But the single coin is not even on RCM website and not available via local dealers. GovMint isn't bad at all. It just less deal with RCM items, but with all-over the world and doesn't have all the releases. And gets the items with delay. So, I remember, it had (for day or two) "Farewell to Penny" 5 coins set for $200, when it was sold out everywhere... |
