I think it is a pretty safe assumption that mintage is 5000 - a few returns that were not resold (if any)?

Accounting rules do not let you recognize revenue until a product sale is completed (in the mint's case, shipped to customer), because so many of the sets were shipped in 2013, we should see the balance on this years annual report. I am assuming that they take their mintage numbers as actual units sold, not produced, because my understanding is that recycle unsold products. For example,

Maybe. That table in the annual report is often suspect especially for issues dated one year but sold in a subsequent year.

That said, I would agree completely that it's virtually certain that all 5000 were produced.

BTW - the question was did anyone receive the set in 2013. The answer was yes. The subsequent question was moot.

Related to the penny ... please can someone tell me who made this stuff: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Canada-Last...171165582492

He gives a PCGS Number but the number is not valid.

The holders are hand made?

You know, that RCM didn't issue this, right?

It could be not "hand made", since maybe printed on print machine using quality paper, but for sure "home made" edition.

I also received my 5 coin Penny set in January 2013....

I supposed RCM didn't but always a confirmation is helpful.

By your answer I guess you're not getting anyone...

Wow! almost 2 years delay.....
It will increase, but not till infinity, will settle at some point.
Actually I think, it's peak already passed ($500 for set), but now I believe it could be found for $350-$400, and this not the end of the decrease.
After all - less than 1 oz silver.

Lol.

At some point I plan to get one of these sets .


Figured I would finish the question on final mintage.I looked at both 2012 and 2013 reports and some how there is an extra set sold/produced or its a listing error.

2817 from the 2012 report.
2184 from the 2013 report.

5001 sets were sold/produced.

I bought the Dream catcher coin and it only took them 9 months to get it to me. The reason is the Mint claims a striking error was found in the second run of this coin. The Mint rejecting the second run, never said what the error was wondering if any made out to the public

Dont know Strach man I bought 2 from CCC not long after they were released and had them in 3 days. I assume they were the first run but I heard it was due to a flood or some such and some get ruined but who knows for sure. I gave one to my daughter and still have the others one, there are a very nice coin but were not much of a hit for some reason. I don't intend on getting rid of it either it displays very well.

I think that the National Currency Museum got a set of these. Technically speaking, 5000 sets were sold....
