The Celestial Circle/Puzzle coin set is the first coin to be awaiting stock at RCM. Still available at CC&C. They say coins are pieces of art. This coin certainly qualifies as a piece of art. I think this coin is one of the best designed coins of the year. |

2024 dated coins and no King Charles effigy yet. The awaiting stock puzzle does look nice. The MC renewed silver dollar 150th Anniversary of the RCMP is a max of 2 per customer. I like gold plating, but I don't think it looks as nice as the 1973. I'm sure the gold plating will look better in hand than the pictures from RCM. |

RCM always had a very small allocation of puzzle coins, at least for the previous two sets. So I assume the puzzle coin series is commissioned by CC&C.

It looks like I've GOT to buy another over-priced coin for my silver dollar collection. Curious on what it looks like. The new releases are posted on the RCM website. More same old, same old. Happy collecting everyone!

I've never seen the manure pile up so high on TSC Coin Show. S. Bromberg's lies (and co-host) were off the charts today:
Main lies: Celestial Circle Puzzle Coin sold out immediately at the mint, now selling for $1,000 above issue price. The truth is that (atm) most dealers are still trying to sell them at $1,599.99, and none have sold for over issue price. Lies over and over for 2 hours.
I do agree that's it's a beautiful piece, and would buy it for a reasonable price. $1,600 is ridiculous. I'd buy it for $1,300, but will not give S. Bromberg the extra $300.
Looks like YesOrNo is correct. S. Bromberg admitted that he commissioned the coin (in a round about way).

I saw the Coin Show replay and Steve Bromberg did not actually lie but did not tell the whole truth either about the Puzzle coin. His said specificly it was selling for $1000 over issue price.and the co-host showed the ebay listing for the coin at $2799. He also said the asking price was $1000 over issue price. Both statements are technically correct. Of course he left out the fact that none of them sold for that price. He said the RCM sold out in minutes. While the coin did sold out at the RCM the minutes part is questionable. How he came up with minutes part is beyond me. The biggest thing he left out is the fact the coin is widely available at other dealers at issue price. But then he is a salesman and his job is to sell as many coins through the TSC, not to represent other dealers. Edited by MoneyPenney

Quote:His said specifically it was selling for $1000 over issue price.and the co-host showed the ebay listing for the coin at $2799. Correct. Their statements are false. None have sold for over issue price. This is an "untruth" no matter how you look at it. Co-host showed 2 ebay listings with asking prices $1,000 over issue price and claims that these are selling for $1,000 over issue. S. Bromberg knows that this is not true, but both hosts kept repeating this falsehood.

Yeah, I also watched the second hour of the show yesterday. I found the tactic of showing the $2700 price screenshot of a third-party reseller questionable and desperate. So I'm glad this coin wasn't sold out at TSC.
I admit this puzzle coin is stunning. But it's also a cash grabber for Mr. Bromberg.
Overall, I found the show entertaining and informative.

Just had a look at the video for the "Celestial Circle" puzzle coin (on the Mint web site). I was surprised by how thin the coin is and its corresponding low relief. A bit disappointed to see so little engraving on the reverses of the puzzle's pieces.
Can anyone report on its "in-hand" appearance?

What do you think of the 1oz silver coin series selling the toonie, loonie, 50cent, etc for. $109?

Great post! I've been following the RCM releases for the past few years and definitely think they're pumping out the same stuff year over year. What are your thoughts on the 1oz silver 6 coin series? They're releasing the loonie, toonie, 50cent, etc for $109 each. Not too bad of a markup. I'm also seeing the UHR silver maple from 2022 selling for a $189. It was sold by the mint at $135. Too much at $189? What's everyone leaning towards with the new king effigy which I can only imagine coming out next year. I'm sure the mint will release an animal, landscape, history, and silver maple at least. Are there any solid themes you think will sell fast? |

The Master Club Renewed Silver Dollar - 150th Anniversary of the RCMP is still in stock more than a month after its release. The popularity of the renewed silver dollar series have certainly fallen off the rails. I remember the days when it sold like hotcakes. Sometimes it sold out within hours or days after release. People were complaining they could not get a hold of it. It is reflective of the NCLT hobbly's malaise right now. There is little demand for RCM coins. For previous Master Club releases, a lot of customers were able to buy more than one coin, thus causing a rapid sellout. But with low demand for RCM coins and high re-selling costs, there is no point in buying more than one coin to complete your collection. |
