The set is still available directly from the Royal Canadian Mint at http://www.mint.ca/store/coin/fine-...-prod1340008
I agree with mkman123, this set is priced at quite a premium vs. its bullion value. I appreciate that it is a low mintage set targeted at collectors more so than gold bullion investors, but its RCM price of $5,500 means it is being sold at approximately a 90% markup over its roughly $2,910 in gold melt value (as of 23 June 2012). That would be considered a rather steep markup by many collectors.
