The Pacific Rim coin was offered today for 44.90 in Colonial Acres scratch and dent...ahh, Unique Deals sale. It sold quickly.

They still have the Georgian Bay for $47.90 missing the outer sleeve and the case is scratched.

I just won on Fri this coin for $50USD, along with a 2010 blue Jay $75USD, and 2010 Gold Finch for $125 USD.
I'm quite excited about winning these coins! Now all I need is to get the 4 eagle coins. I'm getting pretty close to finishing my bird series collection. I'm missing the 3 most expensive ones, the nuthatch, woodpecker, cardinal, and hummingbird. So only needing 4 is pretty good. I know with patience I will be able to find these at reasonable prices.0

I am just curious, and the opinion of the other collectors appreciated:

If in the case, will be discovered, that CP and RCM (both) for example, made a serious mistake in the inventory, and found somewhere 5.000 pieces of each coins, and started offering them to the public for issue price.
Will they still be appreciated by the collectors, will be series still "good" for you?

(please note, no parallel with BoC gold coins - totally different things. Here I just try to "play" on the fact that they became rare and expensive, with the fact that these non-precious metal NCLT).

If Canada Post had these coins they would have been sold already to an wholesaler, one would hope RCM would ARP them.

An interesting, through improbable, scenario to ponder...

It reminds me of a case in US numismatics involving the 1893-O Morgan silver dollar. For nearly 70 years after it was struck, so few were available that it was the undisputed "Key" of the Morgan dollar series. Apparently, though roughly 4.5 million were struck by the New Orleans mint, they were not put into circulation. Instead, they had been put into storage and, years later, millions were melted.

In late 1962, however, dozens and dozens of bags of uncirculated 1893-O Morgan dollars surfaced at a number of banks and could be purchased for their face value. The coin went from being a sought-after rarity to a fairly common coin in the series. It didn't dim the popularity of collecting Morgan silver dollars by date and mint mark, but it certainly made collectors "worry" about what other hoards might be lurking within the US Federal Reserve System.

Wow, commems, that's interesting fact.
Thank you, nice to know.

The "key-date" coin becomes....a common one. Makes a series more "reachable" (the additional "key dates" might exists), and people do not lose interest to the series.

but this is monetary appreciation aspect.

The BoC coins (by RCM), IMO, gave a "push" to the popularity of all 1912-1914 gold coins, they have "an history" and the are gold ("protected" by the spot).
While a big quantity of modern coloured base NCLT might destroy the appreciation.

I'm not really into the bird coins for the appreciation aspect. I like the birds and the art of them. For me it would be great if each bird coin would top out at $75.00. It's a fun series to collect because: 1. They are beautiful pieces of art, 2. They are birds of Canada, 3. They display nicely, 4. They are affordable and I'm not going to go broke collecting the newer editions, 5. I'm not worrying whether or not, I'm losing money, unlike with spending $100 or more on a silver coin, 6. I nearly forgot the coin size is near perfect to to showcase the bird and its setting. The bird series it's fun and I can sleep at night. I don't really care if they increase in value. This is how all Nclt should be a modest investment per coin. Honestly I can't see how being silver would enhance the desirability of these coins. It would make the series a very expensive one to get into. I'm really thinking if I really need the expensive ones. The only thing that's tempting me is: the cardinal/ nuthatch/ woodpecker/ hummingbird are all very beautiful birds, and some of the best in the series.
