Star Trek - RCM - 2016

This is will fly off the shelves in half a day.
This could be the keeper, only 1500 issued and there are thousands if not the millions fans, who would like to get the official Canadian gold, unique shaped coin.
Whoever interested in re-sell - only few clicks and there is a hundreds $$ in pocket!
I suggest, start call the mint now, to avoid the disappointment.

Some coin collectors participate in both coin related forums, so I'll try to reply here, it will be visible.

I still do not like the gold Star Trek coin.
I more like traditional stuff. Round coin with "delta" sign - yes, will be the best.

But I also know, that coin collectors have different taste and preferences, they might be Star Trek fans or want this coin, or will be reselling it.
So knowing, that it will be the hype, I would say - if you want to get it, do not hesitate.
And thanks to the members, who know the things in advance and always share....

I can't order it yet but my rep said he will reserve a gold Star Trek coin for me.

If I also order the rest of the silver Star Trek coins the bill will come to $1630 before tax. With that large bill Platinum Plus status may be within reach for me.

The only problem is the coin won't ship until September. So will the purchase go to the MC program before the expiry at year end June 30?

The mint only charges your CC when the item ships.

Generally that is true but for this item, you can opt for a 6 monthly pre-payment plan that starts now.

I'm also unclear on whether unfulfilled orders will count toward the current years spending for the MC. My rep noted in an e-mail in March that open subscriptions only count for the period in which they are shipped. That is, if coin 4 of a series is shipped in July, it will count towards MC next year even though it might have been ordered as part of a sub in January. Presumably in that example, coins 1-3 would be included in this years spend. That makes some sense I guess.

In the case of these gold coin, it would be odd to be included in the current year spend since it's known that it won't ship until September. That said, the Mint doesn't always make a lot of sense with the way they do things so it's probably anyone's guess and subject to change.

With so many people ordering more than one Gold Star Trek, those in the lower tiers or without reps are not going to get one. The coins could be sold out today.

The coin will likely be the first in a series, so this one will be very valuable, like the 2013 Superman coin.

Remember this is the delta symbol worn by Captain Kirk. Every captain has different design. So maybe next year we have the one worn by Captain Picard.

Also big bonus with the gold. Tax Free.
