I'm hoping this is the $99 silver dollar proof set. It's released around April in past years. Quote:
Canada 150: Our Home and Native Land with coloured Red Silver Dollar - 25,000 mintage - $99.95 @wildflowerAB: It looks like you got your wish! I'm shocked that the RCM is offering a proof set with all of its coins struck on silver planchets for $99.95! It's a bit of good news! It does raise the question, however, if they can do it for this set, why have they been charging so much more for the other all-silver sets. @MoneyPenny: Are there two sets being offered? One with all silver coins and one with standard composition coins (except for the silver dollar). Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

It would appear that the early ebay listing was in error (it listed all of the lower denomination coins as being struck in silver) - the listing has been updated to remove such specifications and its price has been lowered to reflect the actual base metal coins it includes. The lower-priced set, for this SD collector, is much more palatable! Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

The ultra high relief coloured dragon coin is actually very nice but price prohibitive as always.
I like the design very much.

The Dragon is nice! The RED 150 on the other hand... you need to be a serious collector to like that one.

The base design is OK and the new micro maple leafs in the background that form an underlying spherical globe add a level of interest not seen in other versions of the design. The jury's out, however, until I examine the coin in hand when my set arrives. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

The Masters coin and other new ones are on RCM now. At least for the Masters club members. I didn't check today so I am not sure whether they were already up earlier or not. For info. Dave |

I wonder why the MC Exclusive coin is available at dealers so soon. I thought those coins are available only to MC members and can't be sold to the public until 45 days after release. Yet another contradiction in RCM policies. |

Rep noted several coins they expect to sell out including the two 3 coin sets, the MC exclusive and the Dragon Boat festival. Speaking of the latter, it is very similar to the 2016 Dragon Dance $8 with some obvious differences. I know if I bought the 2017, I'd have to have the 2016 (which I do) lol.  |

@Bigchip22 Dealers are MC members at the "MINT"....The RCM "Mint. I have never heard of "NINT"  ALSO, these dealers will only offer these MC coins to their VIP members and not the general public. Its a big "thank you" for your business. |
