Lots Of New RCM Releases

Appreciate much, Solidifier

Interesting, why they stick to the Polar Bear? Like lack of imagination....the Arctic Fox was good and promising.

And after issuing 1.5oz proof Polar Bear, priced $125, the RCM understood, that "Premium Bullion" better sell for less, and changed the 1.5 to 1oz.
Like this bullion set - it is unusual.

No, in opposite. This is the "correct" RCM coin.
After issuing 1.5oz bullion for Lear, they issued this one , proof, for collectors. It was priced as $124.95. But it wasn't popular, I remember, this Bear was on sale on CA near for $100.
Year after, RCM minted bullion 1.5oz Arctic Fox and 1oz Proof Arctic Fox, priced $88. They tried to adjust the "Premium Bullion" to the demand.

So, like you, I collect the 1.5oz bullion series, due to it non standard format.
Extremely liked the Fox, so bought also Proof version. And these Bears....they too generic, but its OK for bullion coin.

And the famous "milk spots"....one of my 3 2013 Polar Bear coin already has it.

Added:
Yes, I also bought the 3/4oz Grey Wolf. I not sure, why I need this coin, but liked the Wolf, and its bullion.

O Canada box:
Depends on the capsule, that you have, but the 1.5oz coins probably will not fit it due to their thickness.
Instead of it , check this:
(if I remember correctly, seller's name is Chris)

expensive, but looks like "Class A+" stuff, bullion collector will like it.

Now just bit out of free budget, but I'll order couple of boxes.
It assumes capsules and not "raw" coins.
But, pay attention:
I think the best fit will be their own capsules , or capsules from Aurinum.de for 1.5ozs

When you have big collection (not stack) of even bullions, let's say Pandas, it worth to pick up nice box to hold 20 of them...

I think they are high priced based on the limited mintage numbers (5000 units).

I too am impressed with the 2 Oz train and the high relief lynx. However, I'm going to wait to find them at this counted prices. I just bought 23 bullion coins. I'm done for a while. Too many coins too fast!!

I had joined a couple gr buys of a RDF member who lives in Edmonton. He had also grabbed me a couple $ 10 superman coins fr his PO.

The Sman were for flipping. My 15 yr old son ended up trading them to pokermandude for this incredible monster toned 1936 silver dollar, Jamie had spotted. When I saw the sticker price, I know I'd need to sell off some of my 2012 impulse buys( when 1st started collecting silver coins) I went a little crazy, as I had just paid out my mortgage. So now I had some spare cash.

I never ever would of asked to trade the Nclt coins for the dollar, knowing dealers only take them at deepest discount. Before I could blink my kid made the trade. Matt was very kind to us and gave us a discount on the coin. Our only purchase at the show. The ATM was down and I had like $5. I thought I'd pull money out of the ATM at the coin show wrong. Plus the location is in an industrial area. Where I used to board my Arabian horses in the 1990's, my how it's changed.

Back to bullion: I have 10 2015 3/4 ounce wolves absolute gorgeous, 7 ea birds of prey/ 4 zombucks feast dollars/ 3-4 murk diem zombucks rounds. So I was picking up quite a bit. I save a bunch on shipping 3 separate orders.
I'm very happy with my acquisitions.
Whenever silver goes up, I'll sell some of the extra bullion to pay for the keepers. I just about bought a wolf for $29, from
a seller who was shipping me coins I bought on ebay. I lucked out SGB had them and my friend was doing a group buy on some other stuff, so added my order.
I find some of the bullion designs are very nice, I love the 3/4 wolf. I've order the proof from the RCM and I'm waiting for it.
Hopefully this answers some questions at Silveriod. We really enjoyed our first coin show!!

The train is nice, but out of whack as far as price goes, $169 for 2 ounces that the mint could likely get for $35 (Silver at $17.87 Cdn as I write), maybe less depending on how much the mint pays for the raw silver. The cost of the design, the engraving, the time and labour still does not justify the price. I am thinking that the mintage is low, and the theme is a good one, it will create demand through a sellout, the format being large will appeal due to rarity. Again, I could likely get 5 or 6 nice different bullion coins from around the world through APMEX or CA and be happier but that is me, those who love trains or the theme of this coin will be happy no matter what the cost, at 54 mm it certainly would make for a big canvas for the artist.

I saw that one coming. They at least present it in a nice wooden box!

I was just thinking, it wood be a hoot, if they used the same cardboard box for the gilded version!! Too many pain meds tonight I guess.
