@Redzapsid - "It's going to drop further for those that wait." Why would it?
Fewer and fewer will be available as the ones for sale currently are going to collectors like Heresiarch_WAC.

So, the second one not really far from the first.
People probably waited and at the end excited a bit to get the coin. Like always in the bidding, if you ready to pay X dollars, won't you be ready to add $5 more?

Nubee,
Give it a year or 2 and it will be forgotten about. I've seen it with virtually all NCLT. I think it's at its peak and will drop slowly.

People will not sell their coins, but the buyers will also not be rushing to buy. 2015 coin - do they really need it? Summer Moon Mask Poppy Dollar The Sun Dollar Rabbit / Tiger Zodiac coins yes, when they offered for sale - sold above issue, but this also goes down, people not interested. Edited by Silveroid

A FIRST! First coin in our new "renewed silver dollar" series celebrating historic proof dollar designs. The series begins with Canada's first silver dollar, designed by renowned sculptor Emanuel Hahn and first issued in 1935. - See more at: http://www.mint.ca/store/coins/excl...342#QAHeaderIt would be very helpful if potential collectors of the Renewed Dollar Series could know what it is they might be interested in collecting, Last year the series was believed to be the Voyageur plus the commemorative Circulation silver dollars equals six. Not so. Along comes a commemorative "renewing" the non-circulation 1976 Library of Parliament, likely a NCLT that very few more recent NCLT collectors ever knew existed. Two into the series, two coins of different sizes. What's the reason for that? RCM did not begin issuing proof Dollars until 1981. Neither of the first two coins are historic proof designs. Does RCM not know of it's own history?  . If this is to demonstrate the level of carelessness exhibited by RCM, not many people will be anxious to pay any more than the original issue price, much less jump into a series at $500+ per past issue without having any clue as to what the full series will entail.

Just a slight difference. Just my guess. Or they just plainly made an error. IMO,the mint should of kept them with the same specs also. Just no thought went into fabricating this coin theme. |

The 1935 SD at 36mm is smaller than the 1976 36.07 SD, although the difference is so slight it's really not noticeable. But RCM made the Renewed Voyageur larger, not smaller. I'd say the odds greatly favour your 2nd possibility. |

I guess I'm not the only one waiting for the MC Library of Parliament coin to be shipped? I ordered Oct26 - ridiculous really having to wait that long...

Still processing mine from first day order. Then to top it off they send me 10 packs of the Atlantic Toonie 5 pack without me even ordering it. Says I ordered on the 9 Nov. and it is in my mailbox on the 15th. Unbelievable.

Called the mint last week and they said a shipment was coming in on Saturday (just passed) wondering if they got it in?

Not a good thing when an employee of the Royal Canadian Mint might believe they get in shipments of coin, to stock the shelves?  RCM is the manufacturer of NCLT. Edited by wildflowerAB

I thought the same thing wildflowerAB when marcus21_69 first mentioned an expected shipment but then thought maybe the Mint employee meant a shipment of packaging. I'd be surprised if the coins were minted in small batches or that the Mint didn't run them all at once since they would easily know that there would be a in instant sell out. So packaging is the only delay that makes sense to me. BTW, my order remains unchanged since Nov 1 'processing' and there is no longer a pre-authorization on my credit card.  |

From what I understood from my conversation they don't mint all the coins at once...I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that is what they said.
Makes some sense from a business point of view...why make and hold on to stock that hasn't sold yet.
(Admission I'm not an expert on coin minting and its process)
