Mrpiedfort Pillar of the Community Canada 663 Posts	Posted 10/19/2011 12:30 pm Could someone please post the mintage for each of the new coins? $139.95 for a 1/25 gram gold coin! WTH! Nice coins, but so many all at once. Report this Post to the Staff
jpaiva83 Pillar of the Community Canada 567 Posts	Posted 10/19/2011 12:58 pm For each of the 15 new coins?

RoyalCanadianMint RCM Representative 158 Posts	Posted 10/19/2011 1:54 pm Hello jpaiva83 and thanks for being one of our Masters Club members! Just guessing you are a Masters Club member since you're sharing coins that were announced in this morning's email advance. And yes, the 2012 Year of the Dragon coins are expected to be very popular. :) Report this Post to the Staff
jpaiva83 Pillar of the Community Canada 567 Posts	Posted 10/19/2011 2:02 pm Now that I have the attention of somebody from the Mint, might I make a small suggestion? A single display box for all four $ 10 silver and/or for all four 1/25 gold coins might not be a bad idea. They would look good all-together. I know that I'd rather have, for example, the four $ 10 silver coins in one display box then each one its own separate box. Again, just my humble opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
Mrpiedfort Pillar of the Community Canada 663 Posts	Posted 10/19/2011 2:17 pm Thanks Jpaiva83 for the reply. I agree, it would be nice to have the option of buying a complete set. Report this Post to the Staff
Mrpiedfort Pillar of the Community Canada 663 Posts	Posted 10/19/2011 3:46 pm I don't get it. The RCM should not have increased the mintage of the 2 lunar dragon coins to 48,888 each if they knew they were gonna introduce another dragon coin. Hope they learned a lesson.

suresh New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 10/19/2011 6:10 pm I would have liked the silver dragon too but the mintage is too high (588,888) for it to be anything more than just bullion. Report this Post to the Staff
Lithanial Valued Member Canada 451 Posts	Posted 10/19/2011 7:54 pm OMG those dragons are the awesome. What is the mintage on the 1/10 Gold dragon. 588,888 Silver Dragons? YIKES! Report this Post to the Staff
jpaiva83 Pillar of the Community Canada 567 Posts	Posted 10/19/2011 8:35 pm Guys, chill-lax, yes, the 1/2 oz silver dragon is nearly 600,000 in mintage but its a nice looking coin, a $ 30 (no tax) coin, in a nice box. Would you rather get one of those steel monster coins for $ 25 without the box? Bottom line, this dragon coin is going to look nice next to the other coins I already have.

RoyalCanadianMint RCM Representative 158 Posts	Posted 10/21/2011 1:45 pm jpaiva83, just saw your suggestion and that another member seconded it re a single display box for all four $ 10 silver and/or for all four 1/25 gold coins. Totally agree they would look good together and will share this idea with the product management team. Cheers! Report this Post to the Staff
RoyalCanadianMint RCM Representative 158 Posts	Posted 10/21/2011 3:08 pm jpaiva83, we're just wanting to confirm which coins you are referring to for the display case. Is it re the $20 for $20 Series or the latest Great Outdoors Aboriginal Series? Report this Post to the Staff
jpaiva83 Pillar of the Community Canada 567 Posts	Posted 10/21/2011 11:27 pm I was referring to the "Great Outdoors Aboriginal Series" but having one for the $ 20 for $ 20 coins would also be great. I've been doing some window shopping at lighthouse ( http://www.lighthouse.us ) trying to find a display box for the $ 20 for $ 20 coins actually. I haven't found anything yet but if anybody has any suggestions? Edited by jpaiva83 10/21/2011 11:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
poboxw Pillar of the Community Canada 1502 Posts	Posted 10/22/2011 01:46 am Beautiful coins. I'm itching to order already but hesitant since it's another one of RCM's pre-order 2-3 months in advance notices. I still haven't received my map of Toronto and kangaroo coins, even when I ordered the day after the masters club notices came out. This is making planning purchases hard and giving my wife a heart attack when the orders accumulate into a giant bill every now and then. Report this Post to the Staff
