I also noticed people selling 24k gold gilded versions of this set but can't find anything on it. Anyone know if these are also aftermarket or if they are an actual RCM product?

It's aftermarket, APMEX has these for sale, and their listing states "Please note - the gilding of this coin was applied by an experienced third party company."

Both the coloured and the gilded versions are produced by a private mint in Germany. There are a couple of ebay sellers from Germany (and at least one from the US now with the Bison version) that are the primary sellers of them that I have seen. Mintages of each are 5,000 I believe.

Looks pretty nice. Much better than a colourized ASE I saw, but that's just because I have a personal bias against vertical red/white stripes -- Walking Liberty looks much more dignified in gray -- :P

I've seen some on ebay that have a certificate that state only 1,000 mintage, but I wouldn't believe that, they could make as many as they want and always say "Mintage of only ______"

Yes, I think some of the earlier ones were only 1,000 but I don't know that for sure as I only have certificates with the later ones. I would like to think they would be honest enough to stick with the mintage they say. However there's nothing stopping another mint doing the same thing with the same end result of course.

looks nice but I am not sure it should be worth very much more than the original
