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

I wanted two because I have 2 voyageur coins.
One from RCM and one from a coin dealer last year.

The sets would be nice to continue as I have two sons.

@redzapsid

I spent almost $20,000. with RCM last cycle. This cycle I need a few more hundred to achieve platinum prestige again.

So, 5,000.00 does not buy equality if 20,000 can't.

jimper I appreciate you sharing your experience (good fortune). It highlighted yet another issue with the RCM.

Personally, I think if they took the orders, they should have fulfilled them or at the very least apologies to their customers for cancelling orders. It was their mistake, yet they blamed customers and/or simply didn't communicate anything; sadly they are trying to cover up a mistake. Pretty poor CS.

Anyway, I suspect the error initially belongs to whomever set up the product parameters used by the website. They simply forgot to enter "limit of one" and restrict the ordering system.

I'd say it's also some faulty code that is allowing 7 to be ordered by one person and not subsequently cancelled. I note that the orders with multiples (as shown a few pages back) contain other coins. And that the other coins appear first on the orders.

In an attempt to identify customers who ordered more than one, a lazy programmer probably wrote a script to sum the number of item 153701 by customer but failed to have that script loop through the orders to the second and third lines. A script run like that would return only one library of Parliament ordered.

Good luck jimper with disposing of your life's collection. You are likely doing what all of us should do eventually. Really, leaving it to heirs in most cases will be little more than a burden to them that they will sell for peanuts...unless they happen to be collectors.

@CC-Ottawa

Agreed. Thanks.

They have every right to cancel without reason since we all agree to these term by using the website, however, it is a pretty shady practice to cancel orders without notifying and apologizing to customers IMO. It's also a bit random in these cases.

Conditions of sale
The Royal Canadian Mint reserves the right to refuse or limit orders, and to change its prices and product offerings without notice if, for any reason, it should be found necessary to do so. The Mint also reserves the right to impose purchase quantity limits on certain items.

The demand increased.
Some people, who missed the Voyageur, made effort to get the "Library" Dollar. And after was assured that they will get it - they tried to get the missed Voyageur.

Same happened with Glass Ladybug, just the difference between amount of possible owners of Bumblebee and Ladybug is huge.
Similar was with Mongolian Gulo-Gulo and Ural Owl.

When the 1-st coin is popular by itself, and the second more easy to get (mintage and awareness factor), the first coin increases in value.

From one hand this is the capitalismus

From another - many people haven't been raised on the "create", but on the "use".
"This way I maintain my collection".....Oh, so sad. Go and earn without cheating on other people.

@New1954,

If you are going to spend $20,000 a year on coins at the RCM, why don't you open multiple accounts. Split the $20,000 by opening another one with your wife or kids and then you have more opportunity to get additional coins. No sense in having one giant account as you have the same benefits with Platinum Plus at $5000 as you do with Prestige at $10,000.

Also, if you are spending $20,000 a year on coins, what is $200 more to get a 2nd one on ebay if you really want one for your other kid.

Who says I am a man?

I am woman!!

You are right. I will open another account under my maiden name on a different credit card.
