Ahh I see. So the 2010 was marketed as the "first" piedfort silver maple as oppose to the first RCM piedfort period. Clever (or that I'm dumb..) |

west- canuk, I've looked into this and I'm sorry to say that we don't have any plans for more Piedfort Coins in 2012. If you have a specific Piedfort idea for down the road, please send it to themes@mint.ca - Thanks!

Oh well guess the guys calling the shots didn't think they were as popular as I did, I don't have any ideas for future piedforts: liked the design, too bad there won't be a yearly series.

I think they decided to go with the wildlife bullion collection as an alternative to the piedfort thing. It just seemed kind of odd for the Mint to come out with a random piedfort coin, selling well, and then not making any more of them.
This coin might be better served coming out once every 4-5 years anyways.

would be cool if it was a 38mm 2 oz piedfort, as oppose to smaller diameter 1oz

RCM has minted some one-of-a-kind maple leaf coins in the past, the 1989 proof, and the 1998 10 oz coin. so this piedfort could be another sample

@ Lithanial Ya , can't understand it , it sold out quick and the profit margin was much more per ounce than on the wildlife bullion, guess the profit on the larger quantity made up for that. Here's an idea , RCM , make the 2013 bullion maples 1 ounce piedforts, maybe with the laureate or tiara portrait . (If you use this idea I want free samples.) Edited by west- canuk

make sure to limit the mintage, 100,000-300,000 will be great. thanks |

100,000-300,000 will be great But then it'd turn out as expensive as a commemorative in no time. The wildlife series' 1 million mintage per issue I find is a pretty good number. Not immediately and unreasonably expensive right off the shelf yet still collectible. |

But then it'd turn out as expensive as a commemorative in no time does it really have to?:) Britanna mintage 100,000, Kookaburra mintage 300,000, price of 2011 coins are around 41-42 at APMEX. maple leaf f15 reverse proof coin mintage 5,000, $45 each. looks like mintage is not a factor of the cost of making bullion coin, maple leaf art design is recycled, dies have to be replaced after every 3,000? strikes no matter how many coins they make, dealer will take care of the sales anyways, so why lower the mintage will increase the price?

Earlier in 2011 I asked a RCM rep if they were going to do some more Piedforts and they had no plans for future releases but if they make some more I will be all in with bells on. Really not sure why they are appealing but smaller diameter coins just happen to show up in the collection more than the larger ones. |
