Thanks for uploading the pictures! The set looks rather impressive. The box enhances the presentation a lot.
Rest in Peace

I'm at the same point as 'Coin-Chick'. 14 of 15 coins received. They are very impressive sets, but if asked, I don't think I'd do it again. I was especially disappointed with the 5 and 10 Euro coins, firstly neither was a full ounce. secondly, they were Stirling (92.5%) - not fine silver. As such, the full price was $89.95 each coin despite their short coming in silver quantity, and the worst part, they were the only coins to be charged the additional HST (harmonized sales tax is exempt if 99.9% or better - Stirling 92.5% doesn't cut for exemption!)

Somali Elephant is still needing delivery as well as the Noah's Ark coin, plus the last coin. Not surprised that I received nothing from the mint this October in this sub, since they have released new coins and sets this month, maybe a backlog in processing of orders although with a sub this should not be an issue.

Thanks for the preview Coin Chick, its a handsome design.

I received the Somali Elephant last month and the Noah's Ark coin arrived a few days ago. Just missing the last coin, the 2011 berlin privy Aussie Koala.

Colonial Acres Coins is selling the 2011 f15 Canadian Maple Leaf for $425!!!

Anyone know why?

I can understand $150'ish but $425 is absurd.

Whats more dumb is that you can get the 2012 F15 Privy for between $ 60 to $ 90 depending on what order the coins in the set arrive.

As soon as you get the maple, you can cancel the set and sell off the extra coins if there are any.

May not be the best way but it sure beats paying $ 500!

A $ 400 difference? Surely not.

The 2007, 2008 and 2009 F12 Privy Maples as well as the 2010 F15 Privy all had a mintages of 5000.

Talisman has the 2007, 2008 & 2009 for $ 200 and the 2010 F15 at $ 130.

I bought a 2008 F12 last year for $ 80 from Colonial Acres.

There has to be more to it than just mintage.
What makes the 2011 so special?

It's the hardest to find along with the 2008, in my opinion anyway.

jpaiva83: probably 2011 f15 maple leaf is the first f15 maple sold by RCM? I believe a lot of people ordered maximum 3 and cancelled the subscription right after receiving the first coin. I still have 5 of them

Yesterday I got the second coin from the Fab15 2012 Subscription.
It was BU Britannia.

Well, nothing bad to say, the coin itself is gorgeous. This is really F15 coin...
Sure, I have already the same Britannia for a half price and I knew what exactly I will receive.
I wish they were sending Proof versions of these coins.
But the good part was in the end of the mail, telling that with the next coin I'll get a box

Yeah, got the box a couple of months back. Looks pretty sharp. My wife just stole the watch from me though....

How many coins in this set ended up with the F15 privy?
I can see four in the pictures but I may be missing some.
