I quite like the Railroad and Polar bear designs, but a bit more expensive than I'd like.

Quote: I quite like the Railroad and Polar bear designs, but a bit more expensive than I'd like. I have strong feeling that Polar Bear will be issued soon (or at the begining of 2015) as new 1.5oz bullion coin and will be available for $45 - $50 (of cause with the complimentary potential "milk spots" ).

Too rich for this collector. The GT coins while interesting are beyond my price range.

Appreciate much, Solidifier Interesting, why they stick to the Polar Bear? Like lack of imagination....the Arctic Fox was good and promising. And after issuing 1.5oz proof Polar Bear, priced $125, the RCM understood, that "Premium Bullion" better sell for less, and changed the 1.5 to 1oz. Like this bullion set - it is unusual.

I will get the 1.5 ounce Polar Bear and Cub Silveroid, to add to the Polar Bear and the Fox as a set of 1.5 ounce coins. Today managed to order the 3/4 ounce Wolf Bullion coin for ~$17.50 and the 1812 3/4 ounce to add to the 3/4 ounce Devils Brigade as another set of 3/4 ounce coins. All these coins are 38 mm so will fit in the O Canada Box, Milkspots and all, still like the bullion, can't beat the prices. As for this month's offerings PPPPass. Will look for the Lynx later if it comes up. Hey Silveroid, look at this, a 1.5 ounce proof 2013 Polar Bear not 1.0 ounce from Lear as well, never heard of this coin before as 1.5 only 1.0. http://www.learcapital.com/store/co...-silver-coin

This is the "correct" RCM coin. After issuing 1.5oz bullion for Lear, they issued this one , proof, for collectors. It was priced as $124.95. But it wasn't popular, I remember, this Bear was on sale on CA near for $100. Year after, RCM minted bullion 1.5oz Arctic Fox and 1oz Proof Arctic Fox, priced $88. They tried to adjust the "Premium Bullion" to the demand. So, like you, I collect the 1.5oz bullion series, due to it non standard format. Extremely liked the Fox, so bought also Proof version. And these Bears....they too generic, but its OK for bullion coin. And the famous "milk spots"....one of my 3 2013 Polar Bear coin already has it. Added: Yes, I also bought the 3/4oz Grey Wolf. I not sure, why I need this coin, but liked the Wolf, and its bullion. O Canada box: Depends on the capsule, that you have, but the 1.5oz coins probably will not fit it due to their thickness. Instead of it , check this: (if I remember correctly, seller's name is Chris) http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Canadian-Wil...em33909500b5Check all his items. expensive, but looks like "Class A+" stuff, bullion collector will like it.

Nice, will it hold them in airtites or open? Expensive but a quality looking product. May be a better thing for the bullion replica coins than the bullion, the box would be worth more than the coins. Ha ha. Sometimes I think it's all about the packaging. I saw your custom 20 for 20 case, really nice and innovative. The O Canada box should be fine for the thicker 1.5 ounce just will stick up a bit above. I can put 1/2 ounce coins in airtites as well, Chinese Lunar Year 1/2 Ounce Coins or 12 years of 1 ounce SML Privy Year of the...

Now just bit out of free budget, but I'll order couple of boxes. It assumes capsules and not "raw" coins. But, pay attention: I think the best fit will be their own capsules , or capsules from Aurinum.de for 1.5ozs
When you have big collection (not stack) of even bullions, let's say Pandas, it worth to pick up nice box to hold 20 of them...

I like the silver train one but geez louise the price is out of line.
Does the Mint ever adjust its prices or are they set in stone once they are revealed?

I think they are high priced based on the limited mintage numbers (5000 units).

For those prices including the train and high relief coin, I would pay the retail price if it had a lower mintage.

I too am impressed with the 2 Oz train and the high relief lynx. However, I'm going to wait to find them at this counted prices. I just bought 23 bullion coins. I'm done for a while. Too many coins too fast!!

@pocket change 50: Quote: I just bought 23 bullion coins. I'm done for a while. Too many coins too fast!! Did you buy 23 different bullion coins? I will agree, some of them have really great design (3/4oz Grey Woolf), but what for to spend not small amount on duplicates?..... Basically, if you buy many of the same coin, you just spend significant sum of money again on the coins.Buying many just because they cheap.

I had joined a couple gr buys of a RDF member who lives in Edmonton. He had also grabbed me a couple $ 10 superman coins fr his PO. The Sman were for flipping. My 15 yr old son ended up trading them to pokermandude for this incredible monster toned 1936 silver dollar, Jamie had spotted. When I saw the sticker price, I know I'd need to sell off some of my 2012 impulse buys( when 1st started collecting silver coins) I went a little crazy, as I had just paid out my mortgage. So now I had some spare cash. I never ever would of asked to trade the Nclt coins for the dollar, knowing dealers only take them at deepest discount. Before I could blink my kid made the trade. Matt was very kind to us and gave us a discount on the coin. Our only purchase at the show. The ATM was down and I had like $5. I thought I'd pull money out of the ATM at the coin show wrong. Plus the location is in an industrial area. Where I used to board my Arabian horses in the 1990's, my how it's changed. Back to bullion: I have 10 2015 3/4 ounce wolves absolute gorgeous, 7 ea birds of prey/ 4 zombucks feast dollars/ 3-4 murk diem zombucks rounds. So I was picking up quite a bit. I save a bunch on shipping 3 separate orders. I'm very happy with my acquisitions. Whenever silver goes up, I'll sell some of the extra bullion to pay for the keepers. I just about bought a wolf for $29, from a seller who was shipping me coins I bought on ebay. I lucked out SGB had them and my friend was doing a group buy on some other stuff, so added my order. I find some of the bullion designs are very nice, I love the 3/4 wolf. I've order the proof from the RCM and I'm waiting for it. Hopefully this answers some questions at Silveriod. We really enjoyed our first coin show!!
