My Own Royal Canadian Mint Rep

I have had a rep going on 2 years, at first he was great (ordered a couple extra of the BoC $5 gold after sellout), since then largely ineffectual. I tried to order the piedforte through him, he said sorry, sold out, 5 minutes later I had ordered one directly from the RCM website, in hindsight maybe I should have taken him at his word and bought it on the secondary for a discount. He placed a subscription for the 20 for 20 (2 subscriptions), 0 show up, following year try again (2 subscriptions), 6 coins show up. Sometimes I get the email for the pre-release,sometimes not, never had an offer for a free coin.

Overall, less than impressed with the rep.

Oh, I understand what about you speaking, Arianzo.

Yes, I agree with you.

What I meant, the rep mail reach me late at evening, and the people wasn't aware of this coin, and only if you MC with rep, you notified.

Since the mintage is limited, I believe the hard-core art collectors will buy all Mint allocation.

My Rep messed up once and sent the gold version for $3,000. Wouldn't let me keep the error shipment at no charge.

Best of luck to you Pocket Change!

I hope your hip surgery goes well and you have a speedy recovery.

Don't worry about the coins, just look after yourself and your son.

When you're up and around again, you can meet with your rep and give him/her a real good kick in the... (your choice as to where).

I appreciate all the heartfelt wishes from everyone! I agree when I'm recovered I can then use my new hip to give my rep a swift boot lol! I just hope I can get the charges reversed in under 2 weeks. They've sent so much it maxed my credit card. I don't mind buying a coin a month, occasionally more, but never $1,000 in a month. Now I'm starting to see why I was offered a rep.
When I first heard people talk about having a rep, back in 2012, I thought I'd be lucky to reach MC status. I still think it's quickest to order off their site. I don't really get the benefit to the mint in offering a personal rep, when they end up paying a commission. I've never had any real problems calling the mint, especially early morning, as they open. The cs reps have always been most helpful.
Those who didn't receive a free coin, when signing up with your Rep, inquire with them. A friend of mine asked his Rep about this and was given a free silver dollar.
It may be worth a shot,to ask.

So you did decide to spend a money on something else, rather to have a rep.
Also smart decision.

I agree with this.

Trying to narrow the collection to the desired minimum, I selling many of resent NCLTs for 50% - 60% of issue.

Looks like market over saturated...to tell truth - no one interested in the new Gold Superman.
