Star Trek - RCM - 2016

Thanks to the members on other forum

Please load the Gold Delta RCM coin on SilverGoldBull.ca for CAD 1455.95 (CC/Paypal)

still available...
keep in mind that Silver Delta (limited mintage of only 5.000 worldwide) is coming (for your collection). And the gold coin - if you getting it, other people (potential ebay sellers) as well.

Hey Justsilver - looks like SGB has 7 left at approx. $1,500 CAD ($1,150 US)

Funny - so SGB had around 20, which is around the same as Canada Post (at least that's what I recollect reading on one of the two forums). You'd figure/hope that CP would have had more than other dealers given the nature of the CP/mint relationship but apparently not. Its also too bad that dealers are selling for a premium before release date - seems a little silly to have the mint promoting a price that says also available from official dealers and than those dealers are selling for a premium (whether large or small). I think the mint can only 'suggest' a retail price to the dealers but can't enforce it.

I remain curious about the silver delta. 5,000 seems like alot - and not having seen a picture or price there's not a lot we can really speculate about until Tuesday!

Not really.
It absorbed by re-resellers and dealers mostly.
Take a look at the amount units on ebay for sale.
While multy-national ST community of fans just declines to buy (and basically doesn't care) for the asking price.
Public prefers many for less.

Btw, today Mr W.Shatner has to be in the Toronto....
I had the idea to get signed some ST related coin, but I not die hard fan of it.

Imo, 5000 of Silver Delta is "less" than 1500 of Gold Delta despite the math, but exactly according to the theory of relativity.

Here's another buyer who paid $1,865 plus shipping today for this hugely unpopular coin:

While the butterfly may not be popular anymore, the previous two coins sure are (bumblebee and ladybug). Comparing this specific coin to the Star Trek Delta is like comparing Apples to Oranges (based on the huge mintage difference of 10000 vs. 1500, gold vs. silver content, uniqueness, etc). Butterfly was 3rd in the series, whereas Star Trek Delta is a world first of a popular theme.




Not quite sure what you are trying to say here. Look at the 2013 Superman gold, that coin was not 1 oz of gold yet it averages over $2,000 and still commands a large premium. The Star Trek Delta has more gold content and lower mintage. If you're talking about why would someone buy a gold delta at $2000+ when they could buy a 1 oz gold maple leaf, well look at it this way... how many gold maple leafs are made each year vs. this Delta? Numismatic gold vs. bullion gold is hard to compare. If you're talking about numismatic 1 oz gold coins, how many times can you buy a gold coin depicting polar bears and beavers over and over when you could get something cool and unique like a Delta coin?

Depends on who is actually doing all the buying, flippers and dealers? If so , then there are going to be a lot of these on ebay, are there enough star trek fans willing to pay $2000 ca for one, time will tell I guess.
