As far being widely popular, I have my doubts. But if you're right I suspect this would only be the beginning and next to come will be coins in the shape of Dutch wooden shoes, Scottish kilts, and round plates of Italian spaghetti..... Hmmmmm...I might go for the round plate of Italian spaghetti.  |

Looking at the $25 Coat of Arms Coin 34 mm and 31.39 grams (1 ounce).
The one ounce is usually in the 38 mm format so it is a thicker coin.
I always liked the design from the Fifty Cent coins to the Gold 1967 $20.
Thicker is nicer, lower mintage at 6,000 but $99.95, is that enough to sell out
or does one just wait a year for that one and get it for $50.

Quote:Soon even more on ebay or dealers. The less stock RCM holds in their stores, the more dealers/alternate distribution networks buy, then more RCM Sell Outs occur, people get excited about the opportunity of buying something they think is rare, dealers benefit in increased sales as well. I doubt the general public realizes that RCM's approaching sell outs are a deceptive marketing ploy. By quoting the mintage, it appears RCM has directly sold the entire percentage only to avid collectors who are seekers of that particular coin. |

The only coin in the last year or years that is selling above issue is the 2 oz. voyageur, that's pretty bad, I can't see any of the new releases that will react the same way.

On the topic of ethic issues, the 2014 Russian "Matryoshka" appears on RCM's "Back in Stock" section. The coin was minted by the German mint and is packaged inside a creative and realistic looking nesting doll instead of a boring case, price $114.95. I'd be curious why it hasn't been an equally popular ethic item on a global basis, obviously not or two years later it wouldn't still be in stock. |

The coin that really catches my eye is the library of parliament. The egg coin I would need to see in hand to judge the colors. I find the art goose coin just bizarre looking.

Anyone planning on getting anything. Its the strangest thing, I get my Reps update, yet I cannot see it on the mint website. I prefer seeing it with all details on the mint site, as opposed to the brief details from the rep. Its just bizarre  . What is opinions on the Library of Parliament coin or the weird pop art goose coin. Edited by pocket change 50

I like the library coin but not too crazy about mintage. As for the Goose coin, I think it would be cool it it plating.

Just visited local PO: "The Coat of the Arms" - 1 pre-ordered (not me, other customer) "The Library" - 1 pre-ordered (not me, other customer) And surprise surprise: The Egg-coin :the owner said that none pre-ordered, but when one walking customer wanted to order....it shown as sold-out in their system. The olighargs in Ukraine buy expensive coin, while people in some regions still suffer from the post-war trauma? |

If you're a Master Club member with advance notice and if you sign-in to the RCM website, you should be able to view it......I think that's how it goes. The February releases don't appear yet for those of us members of the lowly general public, however they've already begun to pop up at various dealers websites. |
