You should buy the ones you like, not all. The same applies for all the coins tat the RCM is releasing every month.

To answer your question from the point of view of the RCM is worthless, the coins are gonna be sold out.

Guys, no need to worry.
Some of them already "Awaiting stock" at the Mint.

Except this - you may choose buying all 7 as set (according to your budget), or to buy the one that you like.

Mine choice for example was "The Shield", other people inspired by Hologram coin....or 1/2oz coin has good design-to-price rate.

I do like having the different choices.

There is quite a discrepancy between designs here though so lots of choice for what you desire to collect.

I personally ordered all 3 1oz. coins and the 1/2oz. coin.
The 1/4 oz. silver doesn't interest me, the gold one is too much of a committment on one coin for me and I don't like lenticular coins. I picked what I liked and will be happy to display them. I think they'll be a great conversation piece.

I bought a complete set, but not from the Mint, I bought them from Gatewest Coins. Saved $87.50 since BC residents are charged PST (7%) but not if they are out of province.

25% collector = 1 set

75% flipper = 3 sets.

I wish they would of colored the joe shuster main in chains. It would be cool to own a color Shuster image on silver, since emphases is on Canadian content. Is the $30 coin with a shuster image? Would love to see pics of it in hand! I don't understand how a coin with unlimited Mintage can be 76% sold out as per mint website? Does this mean there is a limite to how many they are making? Or will they produce the coin until demand drops of? It's very confusing with no Mintage stated. Maybe GAtewest or other dealers can answer these questions.

I think 76% is the amount now in their hand, unlimit means they can make more later, no limit.

Logically, sure there is a limit in the mintage.
Why you didn't surprise with "Unlimited Mintage" expression?

Per my understanding, when it written for example "Limited mintage of 10.000 Worldwide" - means relatively small mintage.
And "Unlimited" means - that the maximal numbers could be big, let's say 100.000 and more. And in this case the coin will be produces in "bulks" by demand. So could be, that the 76% of current portion already sold.

On RFD mentioned, that mintage is 20.000
