Exclusive Master Club Renewed Silver Dollar #2 - Library Of Parliament

@soulbrother

I so agree with your post. If RCM had to mint enough to go around, no one would want them. There are many MC coins minted and they never sell out:

The scalloped goose coin
The scalloped Orca
Also, correct me here but the blue ice coin.

Also, they are now offering the low certificate numbers to MC on coins like the 3D whale and the butterfly coin from 1-1500.

None of the above sold out when RCM tried to please everyone. No one wanted them unless they were free.

Actually, I think there will be more people in the top tiers, especially Platinum Plus ($5000) because of the big ticket items like the 1967 big coins series, the penny set, the sculpture coins, and the many soon to come 150th anniversary products. Just buying the big coin series at $3360 + the penny set at $710 will push it over $4000.

The face coins are NOT removed from the MC program. My rep said they still qualify to be added to your MC totals. I verified it by buying some x for x coins and they do show in my MC profile.

You are right about the higher mintages. The RCM could have satisfied everyone by making the mintage 6000 like the MC exclusive goose and orca. But then everyone one will complain that is too much mintage and it devalue them, etc, etc.

This above correct.

Looks like, the Mint went over possible phases:
**minting few coins with large mintages in the pre-2000-x,
**limited mintages for some coins till the 2013-2014
**huge variety of coins with low mintage recent years

And every time not easy to satisfy the buyer.
Many coins - no one want them, very limited edition - not enough for all.
People shifted the interest to "rarity" which is not realy relevant for not circulated coinage.

I would prefer the model, when everyone will be able to buy the coin any day (let's say for specific period), but the coins variety will not be overwhelming.

Check what do we have now:
every 2 weeks some nice and popular coin or two being discussed (each time from the big release). And what happens after images posted? Nothing...coins collected dust. Large coins collected more dust. In the best case, someone gets the damaged / error coin, so discussion continues till the case closed.

Gold Delta - remember these? Oh...it crashed
Big Goose Dollar? Received and stocked
2017 Penny Set? Cancelled or will be received in Nov or Dec, but who cares, since we have now Library Silver Dollar
And what was prior Delta? Hmmm...who cares..

Yes, the most recent phase recently moving toward high value/low mintage releases each month, is just not sustainable. There comes a time when every NCLT collector takes a good look at what they've spent in relation to their stack of boxes and clamshells and goes

My post was bit extreme

We do care of our coins, but when it too much (as it now), we less appreciate each and every item.

There seem to be an attitude that say if I can't have it, you shouldn't get it either.

Fairness? Why did some members get the mc wooden box while others were told they would get a redemption code, (which was never even issued in the end)? They should scrap the current MC program and start one that actually makes sense.
