Superman Coins

Lol aswitzer , the demand for the gold coin has already proved you wrong, some superman collectors do want superman on a coin......not just gold either , they are all selling out.

Heck ya..old 60s 70s muscle car coins! I would be first inline to get some of those... as would many other car enthusiasts.What a great idea for a coin...thanks aswitzer!

DC need to be advised to mention in some of the next Superman episodes, that he "also collects coins, and actually has some RCM coins collection".

Actually, it good to create an Episode, where for some reason many "Glass Ladybug" coins have been stolen all over the world. Clark Kent, being coin collector also lost this way his coin. Without suspecting something bad, he tries to re-buy the coin via ebay, but suddenly sees that the prices raised due to coins population decrease.
...As a Superman he decides to find the truth in this story and need to face on his way with powerful enemy, that created a device, capable to destroy all, which needs the Murano Glass for the operation.....

wow, that's could be great.

I inspired by the "Phineas and Pherb" animated series that my son watches. For the modern movies - it doesn't matter, what about Superman movie will be, just the Superman needs to appear there.....

LOL.. members are sawing on the wrong limb..im sitting a lot higher than you think...Personally I was totally shocked by the RCM unveiling of their Superman series and it came as a complete surprise to me even as a Master club member I didnt get any advance notice just an email. I dont generally follow the RCM releases and seldom buy them. The same is true of the Canada Post connection to the Superman release. I didnt even know about it until I logged back on to this forum so I thank all the Forum members for their due diligence. I think the general public coin and stamp collectors and Superman collectors in general are just waking up to the fact of this unusual collectible release. Yes there is a ton of Superman memorabilia out there besides comic books. Government released Coins however are not memorabilia and these coins will go into many different coin cats forever and their values listed every year hereafter. Besides Coins and Stamps I would bet that Comic Collectors are the next biggest collecting group of people who throw any ammount of money to get what they want.incl. a 5000.00 gold Superman will be a reality in due course.

Interesting debate and points of view on the Superman coins.

My opinion is that this is going to keep climbing and be at or near $2,000 in the next month or even less. Long term it has tremendous potential to maintain and grow in market value.

When people make comparisons, it's really hard to make a good argument against this coin having extraordinary potential for growth. Comparing it to car collector is a different ball game and really not a good comparison. Two totally different markets and collectors.

Look at it for what it is, a scarce coin with a highly collectible subject matter for a large collector/interest group.

Let's compare it to what up until now has been the "gold standard" for RCM coin appreciation in the last couple of years - the Glass Ladybug.

- Mintage - Superman 2,000. Ladybug 5,000. Clear winner: Superman
- Precious Metal Value (roughly) - Superman $300. Ladybug $23. Clear winner: Superman
- Collector Base - Superman very broad and multi generational. Ladybug, not sure but not even close to Superman. Probably the highest disparity of my comparison
- Innovation: Superman, first gold coin with Superman. Ladybug, first coin with Murano glass. Winner: Subjective, but I'd call it a draw.
- One other main factor that needs to be considered, once these gold coins get in the hands of true Superman collectors (which are many), very few will come back onto the market. With the limited mintage already, I feel this coin will be really tough to pick up a year from now. Put the supply and demand principle to it and it's the perfect storm for strong secondary market appreciation.

Disclaimer: I did not purchase the Gold Superman coin nor do I intend to. For me, it's too much money locked up into one item in my collection. I'm a coin collector and would have a hard time selling anything in my collection.

Car collectors have very deep pockets, I know a few and they collect anything too do with the cars they collect, if the RCM put out gold and silver 60s and 70s era muscle car coins and advertised like they did with the superman coins, the car coins would be sold out as well.

But not sure of all the copy write issues involved as your dealing with multiple car company's. Could be a nitemare trying to get all of that legal stuff together etc.
