@sherwooddavid A few posts back you shared a link to the mdm.de (germany) website which is already promoting their F15 set for 2014. I highly suspect that RCM will follow suite, probably in the Fall with many of the same bullion coins, but issued in a different sequence. |

I agree ep7 and where the 2013 F15 is almost sold out it makes it more likely.

Received the Canada - Pronghorn Antelope last night and it does not have a privy mark.
It's being returned.
Too bad there wasn't a Taku coin this time.

It's being returned. Unbelievable...i didn't understand how they charged $95 for the basic foreign bullion like ASE or Austrian Phylharmonics, but that might be acceptable (in terms of all set), but to charge $95 for basic Canadian bullion coin (no special finish, no privy mark) - that too much. So...if you did return it as a part of collection - they will return the money and you'll not get the next coins? Or that one was the last in the set? |

I think that's the last coin Silveroid.

I think that's the last coin Silveroid. In that case, the replacement could be easy. They've ( RCM) missed NZ Mint, and "Fiji Taku" very nice .999 Silver 1oz bullion coin with the "Proof like" finish. Specially, that they changed the obverse in 2013. So this coin could be referred as NZ and Fiji as well. |

I also got a bullion quality Canadian Pronghorn today with NO F15 PRIVY as the last coin for the 2013 Fab15 subscription. The coin they sent me is in worse condition (nicks on the rim and a scratch on the obverse), than that two I already have. Pathetic. What an insult. They really cheapened out. I am going to contact my MC rep and give them a piece of my mind. In fact, I've noticed a marked decrease this past year in the quality of ALL the coins I've received from RCM. I've had to exchange/return over 23 of the 100+ coins I've received to-date (including 4 from the 2013 Fab15 collection). The RCM produces nice designs, and in the past, were excellent and flawless. But I think I am going to be scaling back significantly going forward and send my business to some of the other mints. The RCM quality control has gone substantially downhill in the past 18 months since they started producing 400+ coins a year for the masses. I think this subscription will be the last of the F15's I'm going to collect. Sorry for venting on this board. Just very disappointed. |

@silveroid - you probably already know this, but for brevity for the rest on this forum, the NZ Mint's silver bullion is the Fern, not the (Fiji) Taku.
But they never stamp the year on the Fern, so it is impossible to know when it was minted.

Well said ep7 ! I agree 100%. I'm a relatively new collector but am starting to realize I've been spending way too much money at RCM and so I'm going to slow down and become much more selective. Most of the coins I bought at RCM I can get at the Shopping Channel for 20% off a few months later. I'm also starting to look at the other mints. |

Thanks for the welcome.
I've decided to use a 25th anniversary SML to complete the 2013 FAB15 set. Should have probably used a different country, but the anniversary one seems fitting.
Now I need to find a square holder that fit's the box. Are they 2x2?

What a deception!!
I just received the Pronghorn too... wow this is pathetic!
First, the Canadian pronghorn is far from being a Fabulous 15 bullion of the world.... and second with no privy mark it's just insulting!!
