The mintage on the 50 cent rolls should read 25000, not 2500. High mintages on all items again this month. Special Wrap rolls 5000 last year, 7000 this year. Special Wrap 50 cent, 15000 last year, 25000 this year. For me, the mintages are too high when certified dealers need to go on selling sites to sell their inventory. RCM has gone from selling collectibles to selling products, IMHO. |

One of the worst releases in recent memory. I don't understand why they are selling a QEII Coronation 5 oz coin when King Charles Coronation is just a few weeks away. I can't imagine too many will shell out $569 for it.

Given 2023 would have been the 70th anniversary of QEII's coronation maybe this design had already been commissioned and the dies manufactured before she passed last year and the RCM were not about to write off the investment.  Who knows...I still don't know why there is a "W" Mint mark commemorative series this year.  |

This could be a possibility. 2003-2006 Mature Portrait-No Crown During the 2003 production run, the obverse was changed to feature a more mature image of Elizabeth, designed by Susanna Blunt and Susan Taylor. That would commemorate a 20 year anniversary. Just a thought. Edited by jimper

the six coin one ounce silver series with the "w' mark will be like the 5 ounce big coin series with all the same denominations: toonie, loonie, fifty cents, quarter, dime and nickel and a wooden case sent with the second coin in the series. tis a repeat, I know and ordered it.

So much for the 1oz Silver: St Edwards Crown (Selective Gold Plate + glass stones) 38mm Mintage: 6,000 FV: $20 Cost $159.95 RCM is charging tax on this, TSC is now adding tax. 1oz Silver: #1 in W Tribute - $2Polar Bear Design: 38mm Mintage 7,500, FV $2, RCM Cost $109.95 TSC corrected the price to $109.95 The wraps are still priced much higher on TSC.

I always assume RCM and dealers check this forum frequently. If a post says a coin is priced incorrectly or forgets to charge taxes, they will fix it immediately. Therefore, I'm not sure how broadcasting such info here can benefit the community. It certainly benefits the dealers: they basically outsourced the error-checking job - their job - to the community. |

I assume the TSC and CC&C are basically the same. IF CC&C doesn't adjust their price for the Special Wrap Set ($199 vs $129), I'll be ordering it from one of the other dealers that are selling it at Mint price. Free shipping isn't worth a $70 premium.

The price we are selling these sets for is $199.95 as listed. Unfortunately I won't be ordering from CC&C this time around - GW or CA will get my orders for wraps and a few other things this month. |

@mikem
i think CC&C sell them higher because of shipping costs maybe?
