Thanks. Good deal if you haven't bought any of them but not the best moment for it, the credit cards are full thanks to Superman.

Thanks a lot.

In general - good deal, for those who want a set.
I satisfied with 4-th coin only.

If you think this way:
get the 2-nd for free - doubtful

but to get the 4-th for free: very nice

Buy it only if you like the Bison coins. I took a huge loss in reselling them. There is a reason why they are being discounted so heavily. Take at look at ebay, just about every one is selling for below list price:

Remembered this was a commissioned coin.

If I had $300 to spend I would spend it on the 5 oz Big coin or get more Superman Silver.

Why?
Cool down...you know that it always like this with recent NCLT.
Almost nothing holds the value.

Remember that "Summer Kangaroo" rectangular coin?
Or 2013 Royal Baby set? - that's funny, how they could be purchased now, we've lost a lot.

But targeted waiting for the discounts is good?
IMO - not for all coins....for most of them - who cares, new coins coming

This confirms what I been thinking and seeing,,, if its a commissioned coin, and the sell out is artificial at the mint, the coin can be had for less later.

I been passing on a lot of RCM product lately, I had my eyes even on the gold Bison Family at rest, and I said, "i'll look for this later for less."

I like many of these coins, I really do. Heck, I love these reverse proof maples with privy marks for coin such, like the ANA show, but I have passed because I darn well know I will find it for less 6 months from now...

^I agree that many coins can be found later for lower but its also what you want and when you want it, for example (others might think differently) since its september, when an iphone is released, it goes over retail value up to like $1200 for base model but then 2-3 years later it can be bought at like half its retail. Although coins are different but new technology and styles come up. Many iphone buyers who pay above retail know in a week or 2 they can get it for $400 cheaper but they still buy

and in addition, I think that in most cases - better not to return to the non-recent items, cause the newer will come.
If you decided to "skip" or wait - more likely (but not always) it is not that you really want.

And example with the budget:
Let's say each month you decided to skip some 1 RCM coin, priced $100. You like it, but think to buy later with discount.
Now, the coins really became discounted, 50% each, in December, close to Christmas.
You can buy them all in one order, but instead of paying monthly $100, you have to pay $500 one time, in the worst period for additional expenses. Looks like, many will again delay this purchase, or just will buy part of the items.

I would say - (again, in general case) - or buy now, or just forget about it.

I think you are right, Sil!

I bought the Buffalo set because I liked it (still do).

Hope the folks who just cleaned out Colonial Acres will too!
