Could be, I guess they could always "enhance" their own bullion seeing that they get them for "cost"  |

Quote:I bought the first Maple for $99 and the ASE for $149 and just ordered this one. I personally like these "altered" "coins" Looks like you're not the only one who likes these "altered" coins. lol First Coin Company has increased price to USD$199.90, with few remaining.

@ Loony...wow. I have not been back to their site since ordering it yesterday morning. The only reason I bought the first Burning Maple is that are or were an advertiser of the forum and I saw a picture of it as I was browsing so I clicked on the link and ordered it, so I have been on their email list since then. When the burning ASE came out at $149 I thought about it long and hard but eventually ordered that one. When I read the email yesterday morning about this new one I could have sworn it said $99 but it was early before coffee so I thought about it on the way to work and later in the morning I pulled up the site and the price was $109 ($106 with the coupon code) so I pulled the trigger. I have a 27 year old son and he loves pirate type coins, skulls etc. I have ordered him the Privateer coins and some different hand poured skulls and thought this one fit into the theme. I would NOT have pulled the trigger at $199 tho so I'm glad I didn't think about it too long! |

@Debrajc... I'm glad I bought this before the price jump, too. I like First Coin Company because, unlike other sellers, there's no extra work for Canadians in getting taxes back if the contents are marked incorrectly.
However, Pela-Coins is still offering it at a reasonable price, and shipping is only USD$10.35. Fighting with Canada Customs is worth it at that price.
Other overseas sellers are trying to sell it for about CAD$200 plus shipping, and some people are buying.
My guess is that First Coin Company is patiently waiting for everyone else to sell out because their price is still USD$199.95. It appears that no one is buying at that price...yet. You never know.

Additional news for the people who likes these coins:
New coin issued! First time in history:
"Burning African Elephant"
With the mintage of only 500 units it will be a hit and a "must have" coin for the collector.
Now for USD 99 only to get at the "First Coin"

I am tempted to just buy it now.... But I am not sure, that this is what you will like to have...basically enchanced by someone bullion coin. Btw, have you seen the 2016 Somalian Elephant? They re-used image from 2009 (the popular one), but flipped it. And the purity increased to .9999 (while was 999).

Time to bring out the baguettes! I agree that there are too many coloured bullion coins out there, but I have to admit...this one is stunning: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxN...J-z/$_57.jpg

Not "Burning" yet, but probably will be soon: The "Black Enigma" series, that basically was the "parent" of the painted "burning" series, got unexpected turn: the new coin, enhanced with gild and ruthenium, now have a name " Shade of Enigma", got the " Nanogram" : the serial number engraved (on coa? on coin?) 2015 1 oz Silver Coin - Russia - Shades of Enigma - St. George and the Dragon - Silver & Ruthenium & Gold Platedhttp://www.thecoinshoppe.ca/2015-1-...gold-plated/Production : 2000 units (pay attention to face value - something like USD 0.05-0.10 ) |

There is no end to this. Everything low production, but the variety as many as junk.... IMO, only the "Golden Enigma" series has a good taste. The new one: corrected - I think it not the new, just advertised as "specially priced": China ECLIPSE OF THE SUN CHINESE PANDA 2015 Silver Coin ¥10 Yuan Black Ruthenium & Rose Gold Plated 1 ozhttps://firstcoincompany.com/S/chin...-plated-1-ozSeems like the colourization could be applied anywhere on the bullion coin and will be presented as unique stuff.
