September 2017 RCM Release

I understand it's not the final profit margin.

My question is, for the costs of labour, tooling, packaging, overhead, marketing, and profit, it's 67% for silver coins, and 41% for gold coins. Why so?

Does RCM spend 26% more on labour, tooling, packaging, overhead, marketing for silver coins than gold coins?

I agree. Personally I would pick one 1-oz gold coin over 20 1-oz silver coins; the costs would be the same. But sliver coins are much more likely to lose value with time.

My favourite gold coin is the 1 oz Maple Leaf gold coin for Canada 150 (proof and reverse proof). Sadly, I can't find any at (or close to) the release price. Any chance of another Canada 150 gold coin (1 or 2 oz) by the end of this year?

Anyone saw the 5 oz Canadian Icons silver coin? It has the Canada 150 logo on the reverse side.

I saw surprised to see this coin on the shopping channel website. Then, a couple of hours later, for unknown reason, it's gone.

You can still see the image on ebay by searching "Canadian Icons."

The design is mediocre. That's my first impression. I might change my opinion later though.

The design wasn't complicated; it could fit into a 2 oz coin well.

I think the mintage is 1500.
