That is, they will offer them for pre-order for a few months, and then create as many as were ordered (and no more). I like it! Those who want one will definitely have the opportunity to buy one at issue price, speculative purchases will likely be reduced as no artificial sell-outs can be created and we'll be able to get a sense of how large (or small) the SD collecting community really is at present.

That is, they will offer them for pre-order for a few months, and then create as many as were ordered (and no more). That would be okay by me. I wonder if RCM noticed SD collectors might be more tradional in collecting habits, more prone to long term collecting than flipping, not putting attention to the immediacy of new releases/low mintage sell outs. Maybe from conducting focus group sessions. Just going by elimination of the BU dollar and sharply reduced mintages of SD sets, the volume of SD collectors must be quickly diminishing as well. So perhaps RCM might try this out in the belief it might better suit this segment's buying habits to sustain or gain SD sales? Report this Post to the Staff

The plan is it would be $59.95 which is the regular price of a SD yet this has the feel of a sp .ed. dollar which are generally $69.95. I think it's an interesting idea. As much as I like to know the details before I buy, as Commems pointed out this does provide some real feedback on the true interest in SDs. Of course it depends somewhat on the design which is expected to revolve around the sesquicentennial. The coins will be double dated to be in collectors hands by Canada Day.

The cost of presales may also be reduced if exchanges due to inferior production was the sole option, as opposed to no-questions-asked 30 day satisfaction guarantees. Report this Post to the Staff
