I'm sure many of you received notification but for those who haven't, the RCM is doing a mass sign up for x for x and circulation packs. You can indicate now how many of each you want.

The interesting thing is they have included a release schedule:
20/20 Jan, Feb & May (1st is a T-Rex which you can see now on RFD)
25/25 Jun & Oct
50/50 Feb
100/100 Apr & Oct
200/200 May & Sep

Total of $760/year.

They have not indicated dates for the circulation pack releases.

They are really milking the FV coins. The $20 dino is an ugly coin. However will need 1 for set, hopefully other designs are better. I do like how they keep the denomination details small compared to first few coins,it was huge. It really took away from the designs for me, on such a small coin. I also got the notice, not sure if I will use it, not seeing images.

There's no tax or shipping charges when purchasing this coin so it's just like the add states, "You simply exchange $20 from your wallet for a $20 coin of solid 99.99% silver" although I don't think I'll be spending these anytime soon.

You can't go wrong.!!
$20.00 for a $20.00 dollar silver coin, postage included.
worst case scenario, you get $20.00 for one. the value may only go up from there.


so...why not to buy them, you will "bump up" your MC, and after all just spend them for your regular purchases ...lol

Not that there is much chance for these coins to have any upside, but how many issues are just tanking for lack of better term.

The only reason to buy this coin is to maintain or upgrade MC status.

I suppose you could sell them slightly above face value but I don't want to spend the time and effort to earn $5 per coin.

Time for me to walk away from these series. Focusing on completing/upgrading the pre-2015 circulation collection instead.

Looks like the mintage for the T-REX will be 250000, I find that a little bit too much. The second 20 for 20 next year will be Batman vs Superman, interesting.

Did you see the picture, please?

Cause RCM already managed to issue "interesting" 20for20 with Superman.

^well for people who are gonna get the coin either way, $5 is something better than nothing. On the other hand if one was to place 10 orders, few clicks per order thats $50 profit in less than an hours worth of work. TH drinks are there regardless of a promotion or not. Plus my accounts are maxed out cant get this any of the $20/$25 xforx coins

That's all truth, I understand.
But since the net profit is small, you have to invest relatively big amount, to gain serious money back.

If you really wanted the coin, regardless gift card - why actually not, but trying to make a money on it, imo, time consuming.

The new 20 for 20 and the 25 for 25 subs are now available (MC gold at least).

Go figure, the Mint followed the advance notice protocol on these ones.

Anyway, they have a youtube video but it's private and can't be viewed. Good thinking Mint. I assume they will open it up for access once the subs go to general release.

It seems the Mint has decided the 20 for 20 are to be novelty themes. Dinosaurs and cartoon characters (yeah done to death). They really need to do something different IMO. But if it draws in new and younger customers, I guess that is a good thing.

No image for the 25 for 25 which has a release date of June, but according to the website, it starts shipping on Jan 4th. Oops. lol
