Star Trek - RCM - 2016

My rep asked me how many I wanted and I'm only a lower tier platinum MC. I took only one as I'm not into selling coins but had the impression I could have had as many as I wanted.

I did order my coin from RCM, but am frustrated at my stupidity for not ordering an extra one for my brother before they sold out. He initially said no, but now is desperate to get one. He doesn't collect too many coins, but is willing to go into debt for this one. I do believe there are others out there with his mindset.

Sorry if I upset anyone about CC&C. I don't blame any individual at that store in particular. I like everyone there, and realise now that it's a flawed system with which they have to work. Hopefully they fix it one day so that the right hand knows what the left hand is doing.

Yes, $1,300 is a lot of money, but my spidey senses tell me that this coin will be not only great for the collection, but also a very good investment.

I could be wrong, but my guess is that anyone who loaded up on these will be very happy in the future.

I will agree with this.
Not sure about personal collection - what to do with item that holds such big amount of money, but for sure it will be great for resell. Two - three times issue? Maybe.
Collectors from Europe, had no even small chance ordering it, will pay a lot of EUR (thousands maybe), to get this coin.

Sure it appears to be sold but the seller claims to ship within one business day. That should be interesting....and they don't take returns on underwear. Good to know. I thought most coin dealers did.


It is concerning that so many of this forum's users have bought into the ST gold coin and it seems many fewer of the RFD crowd are on board.

Did the bulk of the 1500 mintage go to folks hoping to flip them? Especially first time or occasional flippers?

And having 4 months to think about it might translate into a flood of cold footed cancellation in August...especially when wives (or should that be spouses) find out.

I really don't think this will be the case.
I think all MC members will be eager to receive their orders from the mint and secondary market buyers will be just as eager to get a shot at buying one.

Could be darryldarryl. It just seems to me that most of the discussion here appears to be about future value and or flipping the 'coin' rather than it's attributes whereas on the flipping forum, most are simply shying away.

That is incongruent and brings back memories of the Two Loons, Bateman Moose, Glass butterfly, etc. etc. just at a significantly higher price point.

I guess we will see the reaction of the masses when the coin become public, the marketing campaign begins and the media get involved.

I guess some people are assuming that the RCM and Canada Post will be the only ones producing the Star Trek products. A quick Google search and I could see the US Postal Service will be releasing Star Trek stamps later this year. Is another mint going to have Star Trek coins too? With the release of the coin being so far in the future, it really is a gamble that the RCM gold coin will be the one and only that the Trekkies will all want. You never know, a 14K gold product at the actual size and half the price may have more appeal. Time will tell.
