PCGS must love these venetian coins
Did you know if the mintage of the bumble is 5000 also?

Thanks for the previews. All the coins are looking good this time! Can't wait to see the others.

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like a lot of cool releases coming. Frightfully I'm only about $160 from Master's Club so I was thinking of putting in an order to push me over to get some of these new releases.
What would be a safe value bet (could easily flip for the same price plus fees if I so desired)? I'm thinking the silver proof set, gold bluenose, gold dragon, and f15 maples?

Elk, Is it normal to be able to preorder from the post office? Or are you just a preferred customer there. Actually do most post offices have a clue about coins? I usually do my posting from Shopper's so they definitely have no idea about the coins.

The one from the post office was not a pre order the lady was nice enough just to put one aside for me when they arrive. I am not sure if all post offices even order coins but the one I go to does which also happens to be a shoppers.As for pre order from canada post they do that with the new titanic set which is going for $150 and out around april 5. Definitely finish your order with RCM it's worth getting your master's club if you want the new bumble bee I am sure it will sell out before it's offered to the public.

a dealer website. And they have the glass bee listed at $250. I assume they are trying to cash in before it even goes on sale. Can't believe that will be the issue price.
With 10,000 this time, it should not be the phenomenon that the lady bug was but I have to say I'm a little disappointed that MC members are not being given the opportunity to order these coins before (or at least at the same time) as dealers are selling them.

Is that dinosaur going to be another $300 steel coin in the future?

The ladybug/tulip coin was a "1 per household" deal.
Do you think they will do this with the new coin even though mintage is doubled? Would that keep it from being sold out before it reaches the non-master club members?

The ladybug/tulip coin actually reached non-master club members, only for a day or maybe 2. I happened to visit RCM site during that time window and paid $8 shipping for the coin.

^Actually, I think that was an accident. I remember they accidentally released it to the public for a day and then pulled it. I managed to also buy it within that time frame.

Not really feeling the bumblebee. Maybe it will grow on me though. I like the dinosaur, though the glow in the dark might be a little weird.
