I'm kinda surprise the privy mark hasn't found it's way into the US NIFC coinage yet. US mint is conservative or maybe there are way too many coin collectors in the states that US mint doesn't need to make eye candy at all, a letter "W" or "S" on the silver eagle will get folks excited for a while  . I remember the rarest silver eagle is a 1995W proof, every maple in this thread is rarer and still much cheaper than it |

If they had a clue, they would have modeled that ox privy after the most famous ox of all. The giant blue ox babe, aka Paul Bunyan's sidekick....  Edited by Silverhawk74

Some of the privy-marked SMLs were struck by the RCM via contract for a private company. Such coins were never available for purchase directly from the RCM, the only way to purchase them was on the secondary market. For example,the 12-coin 2004 Zodiac Set was initially available exclusively from Universal Coins as they were the company that contracted for the coins to be struck. The current 2012 Titanic privy marked SML is another coin that can't be purchased from the RCM -- the exclusive seller is APMEX. It has definitely been a mix of RCM-available and non-RCM-available SMLs over the life of the series. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Just received my first SML ever from APMEX today. I am really impressed with it. My photos don't really do it justice.   |

I thought real hard about getting the last role of 25 Titanic privy 2012 for 1200, but past as they are selling on buy it nows at 60 bucks each. Great plan if I could stick them in the safe an forget about them for some time, but I gotta keep it flipping. Basically would not make sense at that price to attempt to quick flip an sell on ebay as if you sold each at 60, lose say 8 to pay pal, an two more to ship, so say fifty each, which is 1250, or waste of time.... I can turn anyone on to the roll who may want it as it is listed at 1300, but he will take 1200. It will not be there long as they are popular an this guy places foam inserts at the end of roll to keep sturdy in transport a big plus. As smart as all you neighbors to the north are, can't figure what your mint was thinking designing those 25 rolls (I like 25, better then 20 eh), via the extra space at top which allows the coins to bang around in transit. That has to be one of the biggest blunders in coin roll history, lol.... Edited by Silverhawk74
