Your Real Opinion On What The RCM Produces

Those choices aren't valid. The "worst" option is still a positive. The Mint is a disgrace. It should be possible for the average collector to buy the entire range every year, with the mint focusing on small mintages of 15-20 products, plus the proof and specimen sets. The glut of releases and high mintages all but guarantees that no mint product over 100 mintage will ever retain, let alone, increase in value.

And the "milk spotting" is absolutely unacceptable. Canada has the highest purity gold and silver coins, yet the silver coins are avoided by serious investors due to the high risk of ugly blemishes making re-sale difficult, if not impossible. I am surprised there hasn't been a class action lawsuit yet.

The mint's reply that "bullion products are sold by weight, not for finish" would be fine, if they were sold for the exact same premium as generic bars or rounds.

I think the RCM does a great job and minting circulating coins. I think the US Mint could learning a thing or two from them. But the special collector coins are just way out of hand.

Generally you would accept that if you bought any consumer type good it will immediately lose value to the tune of 90%.

people come to coins with a underlying assumption of value. I think the RCM mint has destroyed that.

They are not ambassadors to the hobby, more like executioners imo.

This is very tricky designer's concept, while the ship is 'floating' in the clear capsule, on the black background of the case (symbolizes empty space) and it almost reached the boarder of the clam shell unknown.

How do I get the Mint to stop sending me junk mail? I just throw it straight to the trash. If you guys want that Enterprise model, Walmart sells them for $3.

RCM needs a total shakeup.

Mintages too high, too many monthly issues, too many polar bears, elks, bunnies, wolf coins etc..

Prices are ridiculous. For the first time in a monthly release this January 2018, I bought nothing because most of what I have bought is worthless today.

It really is a sad state of affairs. RCM sales will be slower than ever this coming year and all due to the huge discounts of most of their coins down the road.
