Apparently, many of the mint orders for the first coin in the series were cancelled last year. I heard that this resulted in a rarity for that coin (the Pachyrinosaurus, I believe).

The other two are still on sale at J&M at the price of issue. Does that mean that the second and the third coins of this series are less valuable (in trend price) than the first one?

The first glow-in-the-dark "Prehistoric Creatures" coin definitely sells for more than its issue price ($29.95) on the secondary market - most recent "sold" ebay auctions are in the range of $100 to $115 (they sold for more just after the coin's release).

The second coin of the series is not doing nearly as well. Recent selling prices have been in the $35 to $40 range. The third issue is still available directly from the RCM for $29.95.

I think it's possible that the price on the first coin will come down a bit more before stabilizing. I don't see the two more recent coins taking big jumps in price, however.

The novelty of the coins has worn off quite a bit and since it was their "novelty" that was driving the market for them, I don't believe that the short-term outlook is very bright.
