I'm just wondering where you found this information. I wish that the Mint would be more explicit about some subscriptions on their site. If these were all monthly deals, I wouldn't be able to afford it, but if they are indeed spread out, as you've listed, I would consider ordering them. I love war-themed coins. :)

Has anyone seen the mask set in hand yet? If so are there any photos? I'm really agonizing over it! The price puts me of since most moon masks are selling around the $100 mark. I just don't want to purchase and see the set at $300 a few months later. I have both the previous mask coins and really enjoy them. I just saw the 3 coin Franklin Carmichael set, however, I don't see any forum discussion on it. It's amazing the number of subs that are out for only being march. So anyone can post info it would be appreciated.

Seems an odd release schedule. The release dates of most of the coins don't align with their centennial anniversaries, and the last two will be released after the centennial of WWI has completely past.

Very odd indeed.

New coins are up on the RCM site for the general public. Don't see any big rush on the Moon Mask coin set.

Not sure how the Mint set these dates, but this release schedule is consistent with the Mint's previous press release:

Starting with the launch of the 2014 Silver Dollar in January of this year, the Mint has embarked on an all-encompassing coin program to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the First World War as well as the 75th anniversary of the Second World War. With so many stories and events touching Canadians on so many levels, the program will run until 2020, and will include both circulation and collector coins.

Just checked the Gatewest.
They published new release and....."Masks" set is already "Phone only".
However, they have more on order from RCM.

The Coin Shoppe:
listed new release, still have "Masks" for issue, but listed something nice in addition:
2015 2 oz Silver Coin - Biblical Series - The Crucifixion
*2oz
*Antique finish
*Mintage : 1499 only

RCM's website still has 600+ sets available on Moon Mask Coins Set.

So far, no strong demand on these coins YET.

Talisman has "Masks" in stock, sells for USD 269 (giving USD 130 discounted according their price .... well, this dealer always gives some discount).

Perth Mint issued the beauty:
KIMBERLEY SUNSET 2015 2OZ PINK GOLD PROOF HIGH RELIEF COIN
it looks amazing, but with this price tag close to extremely rare jewelry and not the coin.

**Stayed awake, to see, how fast the Masks will be sold-out. But it looks like this set same as wine - becomes better with the years.
Together with this - who could guess: our simple bullion SML (usually sells for $20+), in addition of some colorization or " PMD" (depends whom to ask) became greatest hit and snatched from the shelves even for CAD 99. RCM did it again

Talisman is selling Moon Mask Coins Set for USD$270, equivalent to CAD$337

But RCM's issue price is CAD$369.

Strange.

Being still in hope that Masks will be popular someday (or might be the mintage will be lower), didn't think that it will be a hit.
The Coin Shoppe sold out
Gatewest available by phone
Talisman again in stock

People said correctly - this all due to low stock amount.

I surprised that well done
1/2 Kilogram Fine Silver Coin - Growling Cougar
with the mintage of 1000 is still available from RCM.

It's too soon to say that the moon masks will be a hit with the mint still having 600+ sets left. gatewest is taking a cautious approach with holding back orders. they may lift the restrictions when they open later.
