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.
