It appears that interest in Canada's NCLT offerings is quite low at the moment!
Not much of interest for me among the October releases, but I do think the Mint did another nice job with its annual Remembrance Day coin.

I look at them when you post. I see the prices on things that look cool to me. I get depressed and move on.  |

I'm with Jbuck. I usually buy one or two NCLT coins a year, not this year, 90 bucks for the beaver silver dollar is just too much.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I generally like antiqued coins. The locomotive release is not an exception.
Can I just spending $379 on a coin that I'll never sell?

I have been absent for some time now; Consider it a complete disillusionment with NCLT and Canadian in particular. A case in point... this month's release included a coin that interested me... The Baffin Island Mountains; my interest is subjective but I like it; clean, emotive... works for me. It was listed for $679.95 but when I went onto the mint site it was $839.95... $160 difference or $32/oz increase. I get it, the RCM is not philanthropic and the price of Silver is volatile but it is ridiculous that the price changes within a day... (Email announcement to online). Even at $680, the price is roughly 3x BV. which brings me back to the reason I have stepped away from NCLT. While there are a number of interesting designs, the market is flooded with trinkets designed, not for numismatic importance but straight revenue grabs. With the raw precious metal base of these coins increasing in cost relative to the availability of discretionary income, I can only imagine that we will see NCLT debasement before too long. Don't forget that while today's proof Dollar series contains 3/4 oz of 99.99% silver, they were only 3/8oz of 50% silver from 1971-1991 when they moved to Sterling Silver standard (92.5%) and 3/4oz of silver through 2002. All of this was for affordability... I expect this to return. Maybe the $100Gold 14K will return vs. the current fish scale. |
