omxfl Pillar of the Community United States 1026 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 2:15 pm If the silver polar bear is an indication then there will be big mark-up over spot. Hence, I'd stay away from it, because in years to come this coin (like the polar bear) will be worth spot and a little bit, like most other bullion - imho. Report this Post to the Staff
Rockdaddy Pillar of the Community 1007 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 2:25 pm Omxfl I guess you're not familiar with the wildlife series bullion fro RCM. First coin sells for double spot price or more and the second coin is doing pretty good to. What about all the privy mark maples, most of them sell for we'll over spot. Report this Post to the Staff
omxfl Pillar of the Community United States 1026 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 2:31 pm I am familiar with them, but the polar bear seems to have an unlimited mintage and I very much doubt it will have the same appeal as the Wildlife series coins - they are all 1oz, whereas 1.5oz seems a strange format. Also, only the first of the Wildlife series coins is doing well. The other ones can be bought at almost bullion prices. Plus, this is NOT part of the Wildlife series. It's just a privately commissioned coin. And most of the privy marks aren't really selling well either, considering you have to pay a premium over spot to begin with. I do like the polar bear design though. But I'm not going to pay $70 for 1.5oz silver right now. There are some European dealers who already discounted them... Patience is a virtue!

That works out at roughly $56 per coin excl. shipping. That dealer only ships to Germany though. Report this Post to the Staff
Rockdaddy Pillar of the Community 1007 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 3:41 pm Where can you get the second coin in the wildlife series for near spot? (Grizzly) how about coins available to Canada. Not Germany. I never said it was part of the wildlife series, did I. Who says you have to pay $70, you can get them in the $61-$63 range. I'm not saying its going to be a hit, I'm just saying only time will tell. Report this Post to the Staff
