That showstopper looks good. As they keep saying on the show, you get all 7 of the 2014 NHL coins which cost $525 plus all that other stuff for just 4 bucks more.
What they are not saying is that those 7 coins would be tax exempt if bought on their own. In the bundle, you get to pay $70 extra (at least in Ontario) in HST. As usual, it's not nearly the deal that it seems to be.

Back in stock if anyone still looking for one. (about 30 in stock)
Additional batch of 500 has been enchanced. Thats why this rare collectible sometimes will be returned to stock.

And: do they have numbered COA? If you look at the CoA on the listing it has a place for each number, still have not seen them in hand yet so don't really know. Cant see them making more them 500 since it would kill their sales if it ever got out, they produce/mint more then just the Burning maples. |

all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!
Why WOW?
LOOK at how much MUCH that 2013 Piedfort 25th anniversary coin has no been slashed... and look the Bison coins.. WOW..
I am just like ,,,, amazed at how much they are just slashing these, sad. why would anyone want to even collect and pay full price and then get smacked like this?
This even more proof that once a dealer starts slashing, they will keep slashing prices on a particular coin until the price is low enough that collectors step in... I see this over and over and over and over...
god this is not healthy for the hobby....whos going to feel good paying say 90 plus for a coin and now its 50 percent less.... wow.... look silvertowne now wants only 45 dollars USD shipped for the Family at Rest silver Bison coin!!

ook Silvertowne now wants only 45 dollars USD shipped for the Family at Rest silver Bison coin!! is this 2 or 1 year back coin? Anyway, if people didn't buy it in the issue period, they just not interested now. Not for $90, and not for for $45. Because they just not need this coin. I selling some of mine coins - as previously said - I want to own the 'core' and grow slowly - to drop off all the 'fat' that grabbed ....so, you will be surprised, with the selling prices. I got bored with that "Piedfort" (imo 2010 is the best) - so it went for CAD 60. Some $100 coins I reduced to CAD 50 - do you think, someone wants to buy? Try for experiment to sell "Penny Special Wrap", "Penny Set", and some other popular stuff - you will be offered 50% from the price that you thought to get. All this shouldn't us to prevent to collect, but we have to remember, any item is valuable for owner only, and means nothing outside. |

 Many coins are available with price slashed by 50%. Trends has the same issue. |

More is not always a good thing. Most collectors dont want coins that keep increasing in mintages, take the glass bug coins, lady bug 5000 mintage, its was a hit , then they put up the mintage to 10000 , that was their first mistake , then the third mistake 12,500 , what a way to kill the demand for a coin/series. So what if not everyone can "Have one" not everyone can have a lamborghini , but to turn the lamborghini into a K-car just kills the attraction of having something special/rare. Coin collecting needs more of these Special/rare coins to keep interest alive. Not more and more of the same high mintage stuff we have been seeing over the last few years.Doing this can only end badly, I went through the Hockey card "Craze" in the early 90s which killed Hockey card collecting to this day. The only difference is that gold/silver will always be worth spot value where most hockey cards from the 90s are worth less then the paper they are printed on. Edited by Northerncoins

Its just crazy. Its hard for me to fathom these dropping so hard, so fast as a collector. While I do believe that coins should by their nature, increase over time in value, from a collecting stand point, it just is crazy to see them drop so hard.
Not that I am surprised, I see this price action as an extension of what I do as a trader. As prices drop, they keep dropping, and dropping and dropping,, until they finally settle out. I had already noticed several coins that dealers would take and slash, slash, slash AND slash until inventory runs out.
I wonder how much lower the Bison goes before they stop slashing. It also seems clear there is a 50% + mark up on these coins.

@Silveroid yes, I am curious to see that too. Tho it looks like when Silvertowne slashed its prices on the Piedfort, they started to sell out and I am sure the Bison isn't too far. The caution I have is tho, if they are going this cheap, and silver keeps dropping, they will most likely drop even further. I dunno, but I get turned off by paying for coins that are on-sale. I would rather buy a coin I see is increased in price on ebay... |

I too have seen the post office drop prices for past years sets. If I wanted it, it would already be in my collection. If I do bite on sales, it's likely to give as a gift.
