Hmmm - That's a tough one!

It would be nice if we had a crystal ball to tell us what would be popular in the aftermarket. When I first became interested in coins, I hoped that the hobby would help subsidize itself (and maybe someday it will), but so far, it hasn't worked out that way for me. I got into the Masters Club largely due to buying one of the gold coins from the Bank of Canada reserve.

I suppose that if you want to purchase to flip quickly, you might want to go for lower mintage silver coins that are attractive looking. Silver coins are easier to sell because they are less expensive than gold, therefore a larger potential market.

Like Panda suggested, the 20 for 20 series is popular, but it would take a lot of those to get to MC, and I see lots of folks trying to sell them on Kijiji and ebay.

Solidifier, I'm going to suggest that you buy the coins that you would like to own. If you are able to flip some, then that's a plus. Buying coins solely to attain MC, with the hope of a quick flip, is risky.

If not for the Bank of Canada gold coin release, I likely would not have reached MC membership. I have subscribed to the half ounce silver subscription. That will help to take me toward membership renewal. If you have to break the bank and use the credit card to get to MC, it's not worth it.

But I did, anyway.

yeah the 20 for 20 is not a good one I think because there is a limit....and I need to spend around 450 bucks in a month to hit mc. I was thinking of just getting a gold coin and trying to sell it locally for the same price as I bought it or even take a little hit (like 10 or 20 bucks) and sell it locally. it would be worth it to loose 10 or 20 bucks on a coin if it got me mc status. I only have a month before its been a year and it resets.....

Have you not bought anything in a year? Every time I buy something it automatically extends my MC. Buy gold and sell local would be the fastest.

This isn't a great time to do this because the hot coins from Feb and March have already sold out.

You're probably going to take a small loss if you flip these, but it might be worth it depending on what comes in April.

3x 20for20 coins $60
5x Dragonfly coins (1st in series) $400
4x Arctic Fox (1st in series) $340
3x Mallards and 3x Robins $200

Total $1000

You have no much time to think.
If you don't mind taking the risk - buy the gold 1912-1914 $5 coin, not sure that it still available.

For sure you can sell it for cost.

I am sure I've read posts before where a non master club member has called into the mint after a master club release and before it went public and asked to be able to place an order because that order would put them into master club status and to my knowledge that was accepted.
If this is true,, it might be better to wait to get the coins you want...

Go with the O Canada set in gold and 1oz silver subscription.
It's a beautiful set but you need to pay shipping and handling each time until you reach MC unless you speak to a rep and have them waive the fees right now.
