No, Marty, not at this time.
Like people use to say here (and there), I will wait , when the hype will be over, and it will be offered for 1/2 of issue, then will buy to see by myself. Hope, the Ruthenium will not go off the coin and the COAs (with their low quality will still exist)

Will be your different from other population?

It not the "sour grapes much"
Just answering to Marty, why IMO it doesn't worth ~300 now and 99 then.

Btw, could be nice experiment to sent it for grading.
Will it return with rare " PMD" label? This will be super hit.

I have the Somalia Elephant gold enigma coin, its ok I guess, I bought it because Somalia elephants are my theme and focus. as far as how the coin is doing, not great, I also see the pandas in the golden enigma series are not doing that hot either...

however, this flaming maple leaf is really hot and holding up really well...

They are like different "series"

The Gold Enigma doesn't introduce the "flames".
Imo, looks more accurate.


The NZ (Fiji denomination) Taku was produced in amount of 200 only.

Thank you a lot, Northerncoins!

So now we exactly seen what these coins are.

I still think, that the "Enigma" is better than "Burning".

What I didn't like (but it just my guess):
Looks like, that the reverse of "Burning" series is totally painted. The "black" is the paint, it looks too dark, while the obverse very lightly enhanced with ruthenium.

*The brown areas and packaging issue looks like minor.

I know these type coins are not for everyone and have their fair share of collectors that think they are a huge waste of money BUT for those that do like them check this new one out:

And please don't shoot the messenger~! Just an FYI post.....
I bought the first Maple for $99 and the ASE for $149 and just ordered this one. I personally like these "altered" "coins"

There is a buyer for every coin.
And this is nice, otherwise people couldn't do a money on the first "Burning Maple"

If RCM by itself would mint and colorize similar way - people probably will stay away.
Although the price will be similar - CAD 100 - 120 for enhanced coins, but not with the tiny mintage of 500.

Even if these did give them new design ideas, they would never issue a 1 oz silver coin with 500 mintage for $100 CA, not going to happen although we all know it would be a instant sell out/ success. Just not enough potential profit in it for them.

My understandings is that it takes over 100,00.00 to produce dies,designs, etc. so I guess about 10.00 a coin on a 10000 mintage
