Very interesting. It appears in the Mint's catalog, but doesn't list for sale. Together with this, it is available on the multiple sites, actually for the issue price (near USD 100.00) The coin has a limited mintage with a timeless design...but the people do not "jump"on it or hoard it. I found the coin on ebay, the seller has a good reputation, bought from him before and he has 4 coins. I think, I'll buy it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-1-KANG...200824443814

This seems like a sleeper, if it had stayed on the RAMs website it might have garnered more attention. The Proof should make the Roo really pop out against the field.

Unbelievable, but all 3 that he had - were sold out tonight. Looks like that need to be hurry with them.

Downies didn't have them when last checked...a few days ago, one of the reasons I purchased from Prospect. Question is WHO has all of them?

No, I've only dealt with RAM so far and Prospect is sending my Roo, so we will have to see how prospect deals with international customers, since I am in Canada.

Thanks guys that attracted my attention to this mysterious release. I think, this coin one of the beautiful modern coins ever maid, by it's simple and sharp design. Liked is as same as "2011 F15 Kangaroo at Sunset Proof" @SilverLynx: I ordered it from your link. I cost CAD 100.00 plus 26.00 for shipping to Canada. Didn't think for a minute even.

@1ozstormer It took me a few days to decide that I wanted it, the budget is getting tighter so this was a bit touch and go for me. In the end it's nicer than a lot of the RCM stuff this year, although the Groups of 7 Carmichael coin is pretty, but the mintage is better on this one.

@RogerD I have to agree with you. With the current RCM release it was problematic to keep in the budget limits. But some coins you just can't pass. In this case, there is no way to manipulation: -- all the recent RAM / Perth Mint releases starts with price of ~ CAD 100.00 , so in the short term it only will go up, and after may be unavailable at all. -- Timeless and recognizable design : by this criteria it could be compared to the Voyager or Maple Leaf variation as it appears on Penny --Limited mintage of 5.000 And finally, your and SilverLynx conversation, made me curious to check the availability. It was available only in one of web-stores that SilverLynx mentioned, nothing on ebay. 1-2-3...and feeling that I overpaid for delivery, I placed the order. I have allready 2 Kangaroo coins from other series, and can't allow to myself to get them all, so this one will summarize all series with Hahne design!!

1ozstormer "I have already 2 Kangaroo coins from other series, and can't allow to myself to get them all, so this one will summarize all series with Hahne design!!" Yes, this is going to add to the Roo collection nicely. Proof and BU Sunset series added together with this one, how can a person not  the night away!
