I agree that the high price of the coins pays for the box and the watch. Personally the watch is kind of tacky IMO and I would never wear it. A 20 coin presentation box can be bought here: http://www.collectons.com/shop/item...Coin-Holders for less than $40. Obviously you have to buy the 2x2's but it can certainly come out cheaper than buying the first 5 coins and then get your box If you get the first 5 coins which would probably be bullion coins you can get them for about $35 each, possibly less because the spot price is so low right now so you could theoretically save $25 per coin ($125 for all five) which will more than pay for your box and still have money left over. Clearly you wont have the fancy COAs, etc but you'll have a cheaper set and still get a nice presentation case to show Edited by rodzm

Yes, arianzo, that's correct. This F15 Privy SML is the first coin in the 2012 Fab15 by RCM. I think, you can get it for less. There is the COA in the right side of picture, but COA for single coin (in this Sub) not serialized, since the Serial Number appears on the general COA for all subscription. |

Canceled the subscription after receiving 8-th coin. Maybe not wise decision, but I understood that I simply do not enjoy this set. Do not know why exactly. Just those coins - aren't the real F15. I can't allow to myself to spend additional $700 for this, specially, that I know that sterling, non 1oz coins will be there.... Will keep for myself F15 SML. *** Edited by Staff - Please Review the rules that you agreed to when you registered. *** |

@Silveroid...why not just spend the extra cash not spent on those sterling coins with those that truly belong tp the F15 set such as the .999 bullion coins. I would guess that by now you have the box and all the coins with the privy so you can fill the rest with bullion coins from the list I posted

I agree with you, rodzm. At the end, I think, will use the box in order to fill with mine F15. Just need to decide - what they are - F15? (I have in parallel "world bullion" collection, and it hard to decide - why one coin better then another) Probably I'll combine the Proof versions that I have (Britannia, ASE, Kangaroo at Sunset) with Proof-like (Panda, Koala, Somali Elephant) and this will be great F15. |

If you can get those F15 for less than the RCM is selling them for, jump on them but I doubt you'll find them under a $90 because they are exclusive to the RCM and that's the price except for the 1st SML coin. And where can you buy the square plastic holders? |

@miggs...the square plastic holders can be bought from any coin supply company. They wont be the same but you can get the intercept 2x2 plastic holders with the black foaming around it to hold them. I've added the measurements in my list. Granted they are not the same plastic holders as the mint but darn close and affordable. Here is what my set looks like:   |

Very nice set, rodzm.
More or less the same looks my bullion collection, just bit more coins (and the Proofs I still keep in original cases).
Just majority of my coins (bullion) belongs to 2011-2012 editions, I only adding those which design changes annually.
I also keep the coins in the 2*2 celled wooden case.
But...I found , that IMO (for me) the best look, when the coins are in the air-tite round capsules. Per my view - the squares "eat" additional space.

Very nice collection picture !
So, the advice is get the subscription, receive the first maple leaf coin, cancel the subscription and get all the other coins through dealers ...

@rodzm - a very fine 2013 collection! I've heard Ukraine is going to be issuing a 1 oz silver bullion for 2013, but it's not out yet (they started issuing bullion coins from 2011 onwards). Its an Archangel Michael 1 oz 9999. http://www.bank.gov.ua/control/en/p...at_id=104937Also, I didn't see the Isle of Man "Cats" bullion in your collection either which I believe just came out. For 2013 its the Siberian Cat. I've called and confirmed from the RCM that they will be issuing the following for the 2013 Fab 15 collection: 1. Canada 2. UK 3. US 4. Austria 5. China 6. Aussie - Koala 7. Mexico 8. France (.900 Hero?) 9. Rwanda 10. Ukraine 11. Aussie - Kangaroo 12. Laos (some sort of special coin with gold in it) 13. Belarus 14. Andorra 15. Aussie - Kookaberra What you have is pretty sweet... 16. Armenia 17. Suriname 18. Fiji 19. Somalia 20. Cook Islands (very hard to get!) 21. New Zealand (the Kiwi, and not the standard issue Fern bullion) 22. Somaliland - lunar snake 23. Tokelau - lunar snake (but they also issued a Crocodile 1 oz 999 coin) 24. Gabon - Springbrook (looks like Malawi is not going to issue a 2013 bullion this year and instead Gabon issued its own Springbrook which is a copy of the Malawi coin). (missing) 25. Isle of Man - Cats Edited by ep7

 ep7 Thanks for the Info about 2013 Fab15 by RCM. For your topic in general: What you have tried to do - is to count every bullion / near bulion coin. But that way, your F15 become "All over the world", and the amount of nice coins 1oz .999 is very big....search for Encalibur posts with the pictures. That was actually my thought - if to make own F15 - by which parameter to include coins there? Standard SML isn't similar to Proof IOM Cat series (it actually began from 1988, the 2013 not the first) and both of them not on the same level as Mongolian Wildlife (for $500 - $1500 for coin) |
