Thanks moneypenny.

I can't see it though. Looks like I'll have to make a call to the mint tomorrow.

I don't get it. How can jw-collectibles and Mario95 have sold 2 of these coins already and still have another one for sale when there is only one per household. Is it possible that they have three Master club prestige accounts and three different addresses.

I can think of Mario as Mint related person, who can use his / her allowance to purchase multiple amount of any coins.
And JW-Collectibles might be a dealer, who sells via ebay

I agree. Still not right for the people that spend thousands of dollars and won't get the opportunity to purchase one of these coins.If there was no limits on this coin then first come first serve.

IMO, Mario as almost certainly a Mint employee. He may simply have a group of other Mint employees that he buys from to fill his inventory.

I don't know if it is still the case, but I know Mint employee received discounts on coins in the past (sure hope they were declared as taxable benefits) so he's probably already starting with a price advantage. I had a mint employee friend offer to buy coins for me at a discount.

I also recall with one of the glass coins a few years ago, Mint employees were seen lining up for purchases ahead of the general public that lined up at the Ottawa boutique hours before.

There is fair, and then there is insider fair.

yeah...this sad fact is always relevant.
Hopefully, some day the limit will be really strict...

I sold my egg coin to Mario in Ottawa. I don't think he is a mint employee as he told me he bring his family to the boutique to buy those egg coins

Our The Coin Shoppe from Toronto?

They mark the envelopes as "The Shoppe" (without 'coin') which is truly appreciable.

Added:
Some micro fight on the ebay for the customer base:
We saw yesterday, that Coins-4-fun set CAD 389 respectable (to resell) price, but:
later it was lowered by Mario and Eemveca to CAD 349
and later was lowered to CAD 324 by JW-Collectibles
haven't see Lynda in the game yet.

Price is drastically dropping within one day on ebay. Started at $389.95 Best Offer and free shipping and now C $324.84
or Best Offer and free shipping. How low is this going to get before it's sold out on the mint. It appears that they're all cutthroating them selves and the price is dropping fast.
