Just found a catalogue for this in my latest RCM order. Go to http://www.fabulous15coins.ca and it will redirect you to the appropriate RCM website page. Not seeing it under New Releases or by searching 'Fabulous' yet though. Edited by kuh_85

It still says 2013 on the title. Are you sure it's the 2014?

You know, I need to learn to be more suspicious. Just dug the catalogue back out of the recycling and there is no date on it anywhere. And none of the pictures include the dated side of any of the coins. Silly me to just assume that because it was sent to me in Feb 2014 that it referred to a 2014 subscription.  |

In this case, the online item is for 2013 (cause it states 2013), but if you take a look at SML, you will see, that pictured 2012 Reverse Proof SML (but no date shown), while F15 2013 SML minted as BU. Correct me if I wrong about the finishes. |

All the more reason to see if you can still get an SML with F15 privy for $59.95 - then cancel. Worth a try?

@Dcadon:
It depends, if you really need this coin.
See, it really not different from other Privy SMLs (in the 2012 I thought it kind of "special" SML).
But if you need the F15 in your collection - you can try. I got my 2012 SML first (unfortunately, continued the subscription), but be aware, that some people got it as 2-nd or even the 3-rd coin.

Got an email from my rep today. Offer is to pick your own 5 coins from the leftovers of the 2011 and 2012 F15 sets. 9 of them with the F15 privy mark. Prices are the normal $89.95 or $94.95 but you get a free 5 coin case and a free watch & magnifying glass. The last 2 items are tagged "while supplies last". Looks like the SML is NOT on the list.

Will repost to this topic too, will be useful: Just now I've seen some post on the other forum about possibility to "Create your own F15 collection" (5 coin) Here is the URL to the page: http://forums.redflagdeals.com/rfd-...165863/2361/As I expect, this conversation will come to CCF, since probably many MC members got this mail from their rep. So, in my opinion, not easy to create amazing 5 coin set here, taking in account, that the prices for coin they similar to F15 RCM sub. But: 2012 Tiki Silver Ounce F15 Privy Mark Cook Island ($94.95)is realy beatiful. I got it from one of the members here, and together with 2011 F15 Kangaroo at Sunset, it is the gem of this collection. I will add also, that from all the list it is single Proof coin, while others are BU or some of them Proof Like (as China Panda, Armenia Noah's Ark) (do not know about Andorra Eagle) my choice here will be: 2012 Tiki Silver Ounce F15 Privy Mark Cook Island ($94.95) - IMO must have2011 Kangaroo at SunsetF15 Privy Mark Australia $89.95 - probably BU, but "must have", if no Proof available 2012 Golden Eagle F15 Privy Mark Andorra $94.95 - nice coin 2012 Koala F15 Privy Mark Australia $94.95 - if it realy F15 Privy (and not "Berlin"), will be great. 5-th coin....do not know, all other have some "cons" ADDED: found 2012 Andorra coin on ebay - it also looks great and also Proof finish (but might be less than 1oz): http://www.ebay.com/itm/f15-Privy-M...em3f2f71c031Just tiny addition: Some (very small part of) 2012 coins I ready to sell (since created my own F15 set) in the mint condition for very-very (cause just do not need them) flexible price.

This is the info I have noted down for the 2012 Andorra Golden Eagle. Don't remember where I got it from so can't say for sure it's accurate.
Proof 0.999 Silver 31.105g 38.5mm (contains 1 Troy oz of silver)

I have bought the F15 set for the last few years and every year I put up with the crap coins in order to get the coins I wanted. I am a bit peeved the mint has decided to sell these coins individually at this point! Or at least in groups of five! Make me wonder why I bothered  I think its time time tell the mint to take a hike  Sorry for the rant ... just an unhappy customer looking to vent. |

I assumed it from the beginning, but it took me 8 month (8 coins) realize, that I do not want this sub, and keeping just a case and F15 SML created my own 15 coin collection. actually still 14, cause I am choosing between: 2012 F15 Andorra Golden Eagle .999 Silver and 2012 Greenland Polar Bear .999 Silver (not sure if it legal tender, but it more unique). Yeah...I lost a lot on it, but is it single "disappointing item" that people bought from RCM? I understand the Mint, that finally want to sell all these coins, but I still do not get, why even now, they try to sell some basic bullion (with COA and capsule) for $85 - $95? Edited by Silveroid

Here is the URL (for Numista) with the picture and specifications of 2012 Andorra Golden Eagle silver coin: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces43139.htmlIt states, that the wight of the coin is 31.105g. But from other forum and another source I understand that it less than 1oz. Some info not accurate. |

I noticed the 2014 Fabulous 15 is archived on the RCM site. Does that mean it was just discontinued because of low interest and sales ? Not that I'm interested but just wondering if there will be a 2015 F15 ? |
