For those who interested in the F15 subscription:

Got the mail from RCM regarding subscription, expected to see 2013, but according screenshots, the coins are from 2012.

Here the URL:

can you only get these by subscribing to the whole set ? what if I just want one or two coins - is there an opportunity to just buy one, like the GO7 coins ?

to Numismatist_2012:

you can cancel the subscription at any time that you want.
But you can't get for example just the coin #2 and #4.

Check the similar threads - and you will see the subscription's coins. Saying truth: half of them you can get as bullion (without COA and capsule) for half price.

thanks for the welcome and Silveroid, thanks for the reply. There's probably only 1 or may be 2 coins that I would consider in the set; otherwise, very overpriced...hardly seems worth it.

Silveroid is right. Most of those coins can be purchased at bullion price. However, there are a select few that are F15 privy marked.

I will agree with this.
I did a purchase of this subscription in order to get 2012 F15 SML and will continue it, without canceling till the end, in order to get some "independent solid set of World coins".

So, if you want to select the best, without overpaying - just get F15 SML and cancel the rest.

But there is a chance that the Mint would ship the 2nd or 3rd coin before the first F15 SML, in that case what you suggested wouldn't work...right?

Correct. That is what happened to a few others. You can return the coin but you won't be getting the SML since you canceled it.

Technically, its the first coin so it should come first, but RCM is special like that.

@ shopaholic and taro-chan:

I didn't know that RCM could fail in this delivery too.
In this case, did they charged 54.99 for other coin, and the SML has been sold for 99.99?

What a mess...

I was glad to buy the F15 SML for 54.99, and felt strange to pay 99 for Britannia and ASE, but these are rules.

In bottom line - do not play with this subscription, or just hope for luck.

New gripe I did not realize until now.
Not even the certificates match. The first 4-5 comes in glossed card stock and middle few are smaller with cheaper paper, while the last few the black ink tend towards purple....

I also like the Kangaroo at sunset of F15, very beautiful design, and with a 5000 minage too.

I agree - the coin is beautiful!
But...only the Proof version has mintage of 5.000, while the BU version, which in this set has the mintage of the 10.000 (the number of the sets).

I have the Proof one, hasn't received yet the BU from the set, but according to the images, that were posted previously - the Proof is the winner!

So far my List has been Correct. I just received the Golden Eagle and it states that The Kangaroo Outback is next..
Still haven't received the Cameroon Gorilla. The next two after the Kangaroo are still a mystery but the 15th coin is the Cook Islands..Also I just received an email that the Fabulous 15 2013 version is available to pre-order. First coin will be shipped in May.
