Apparently the new releases pages were designed using the old website format and are not compatible with the new design.

I am at the Platinum Prestige level and I haven't received any notice about Septembers coins. I thought they were supposed to send out the rebate codes in August? Anybody remember?

I received the catalogue today in snail mail. Pretty well what has been already mentioned. Add some very very expensive coins. Personally I will probably only order the next in the haunted Canada series: Bell Island.

I received the booklet today, but no email from my rep yet.
There is a 2017 Fine Silver Maple Leaf Quartet, made of 4 27mmx27mm silver squares, each 11.87g, reverse proof, mintage 7500, CAD 204.95. Imagine a low resolution maple leaf printed engraved on a square, then divided into 4 quartet. Interesting, but the leaf seems to lack detail so won't consider it.
What caught my eye is the 1oz Silver Diwali: Festival of Lights coin. The same design as last year's gold coin, but made of silver, mintage 8500, CAD 91.95$. The gold one looks good, so I am interested in this silver one.
There is also a 1 kg gold coat of arms coin, mintage 10, $69000
2017 Gold Fractional Set is also in the booklet, reverse proof with platinum plating, maple shaped wood box. mintage 600, $3999.95

The September launch will be tomorrow. The RCM is trying to work out their newest email glitch that didn't allow MC members advanced notice. My rep told me to call him to go over the new coins but if much rather see items before buying. Yet another MC program fail. |

Well, it didn't really fail, but for the long run (after one year of showing improvement), it goes back to low efficient system.
So our dear mint together with ability to strike great items, relatively weakin proper marketing, customer and production management.

I would call it a huge and total fail. A reward program that doesn't reward is not my idea of success. How hard is it to ensure MC members get advanced notice? In 2016, can we really use the "computer glitch" excuse for months on end? FAIL.

Months? The "glitch" has been around for years, I got a rep. because of a The "glitch" and that was in 2012.

The September coins are now all available on the website for higher tier MC members.

@Redzapsid, you need to be Platinum Plus ($5000) and above to see the coins.
Tomorrow will be for Platinum ($2000-$5000). Platinum Plus and Prestige get first crack at the coins. Not that it matter this month since there is nothing worthwhile to buy. Most of them are at high mintage. Rest assure none of them will sold out when you see them tomorrow (except maybe for the birthstone coin).

Finally got notice of the Silhouette Maple Leaf coin being shipped and the catalogue arrived today.
The Maple Leaf quartet is intriguing but am wondering about the math and curious about the obverse. Guess as a gold member I will have to wait a few days to see.
4 x 1/4 oz = 31.1g, however 4x 11.85g = 47.4g which translates into 1.5 ounces. Neat, but still too pricey!
The Beneath the Sea coin is part of a new Murrini Mosaic series probably not unlike the Murano Glass or Star Gazing issues.
I think I'll hold out for the next release.

I was told by a RCM rep that the general public will have access to them tomorrow and they are working on making it so the all mc members get notices when they're supposed to |

Quote:I was told by a RCM rep that the general public will have access to them tomorrow I have no info about this, but somehow doubtful, that the release for all will start on Aug 31-st. (so basically this way, the low level MC even will not be notified in advance). Sounds more reasonable and usual to RCM to do the release on Monday Sept 5-th, or Tuesday Sept 6-th. But let's see. |

Just took a carefull look at the prices of new September release... This is so silly and pathetic: just few below for 1oz Silver Coin with or without enhancements: CAD 148.95 CAD 113.95 CAD 91.95 CAD 151.95..etc all of these have difference 2-3 dollars compares previous releases. And it totally clear why  No cases (they where good) for MC, but rebates (money return), so now we see exactly where from the return will come. We guessed it couple of weeks ago, and here it comes. Really this MC program worth only for serious re-sellers - to get fist for issue and resell as quick as possible. I do not see any point now to spend even $1000 with RCM directly.... Added:"Mint First" Niobium Dragonfly for 148.95? So now we have "Niobium creatures" series? Edited by Silveroid
