This is from the website Quote:Welcome to the RCM Surplus Sale! Over the past six months, we have accumulated so much Royal Canadian Mint products that our shelves are bursting! What does this tell us the mint is over producing coins. |

I would like to believe, that something really "serious" there, since for example 2014 Gold Superman coin shown (might be some "Farewell to Penny" sets?), but looking on the add, says: " Royal Canadian Mint product up to 25% off" - that's all? |

Ya 25% off doesn't really mean much ,is it 25% off issue or 25% off their marked up price, anyways it will be mostly coins no one wants. But you never know they might have a few "seed" coins that will be bought up at 2 min after the sale starts or 2 min before, we are never quite sure how some things go out of stock as soon as the sale starts.

Not surprised at the sale; you should go to the RCM Boutique store in Vancouver. The glass cases there are packed full of coins from last year and this year. |

It will be interesting to see the prices and for what products. I am taking a breather from the mint issues. Starting collecting fossils instead.

Made this collection for my daughter and put it into a display case. The whole thing cost less than $250 (not including the two ammonites above) and makes for a cheaper wall display   |

 If you attend a typical coin show, you can see lots of interesting coins and fossils.  |

It would likely be against the law to hang some of those fossils on the wall

They should call it 'junk sale' - if a dealer can't shift these coins, then who can?

Great find, Yingyang!
But, as I always say: not enough them being discounted, you should also wanted (planned) to buy these coins.... otherwise it just "on sale stuff purchase".
