So I did a quick analysis of the coins issued by RCM with the year 2016. To make the stats meaningful I divided the coins into ranges by the RCM price. I have taken out subscriptions, with the hope that the individual coins are in my database. Here the results: ------------------------- Cost: 0 - $50 # of Coins: 56 Cost to buy 1 of each: $1884.23 Cost: $50 - $100 # of Coins: 54 Cost to buy 1 of each: $4982.17 Cost: $100 - $200 # of Coins: 46 Cost to buy 1 of each: $6026.75 Cost: $200 - $1,000 # of Coins: 18 Cost to buy 1 of each: $9261.96 Cost: $1,000 - $5,000 # of Coins: 21 Cost to buy 1 of each: $57,606.81 Cost: $5,000 - $20,000 # of Coins: 4 Cost to buy 1 of each: $47,199.95 Cost: $20,000 - $69,000 # of Coins: 3 Cost to buy 1 of each: $207,000 |

Thanks for the details @canada99 and @Buick!
No wonder we see 30% (or more) price drops within three months of issue on some coins.

That's very interesting! I wish I would have tracked past ebay numbers because the amount of NCLT up for sale in relation to circulation coin keeps getting higher and higher as well.  |

My kids were born in 2003 and 2006, and while it was not cheap, I managed to buy one of everything for their birth year (except the Palladium/Platinum sets). I cannot imagine doing that now... and I probably would not even bother to try...

My daughter was born in 1969. I bought her everything the mint had to offer for the general public. A PL set which I promptly put in a plastic holder. Luckily she spent the coins when she was about ten before inflation had reduced their value too much. By 1971 and 1972 when my sons were born the offerings from the RCM had increased exponentially, there were three different sets and a cased silver dollar available, I was overwhelmed, I bought them each a PL set (promptly placed in a plastic holder) and a cased silver dollar. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Quote:By 1971 and 1972 when my sons were born the offerings from the RCM had increased exponentially, there were three different sets and a cased silver dollar available, I was overwhelmed... Thanks for that! It gave me a welcomed chuckle! @canada99/Buick: Thanks for sharing the data you've compiled! Each time I see such statistics it makes me glad I decided years ago to collect a focused subset of the RCM's NCLT issues (primarily its commemorative 36mm SDs). I get to enjoy the growth of my Canadian collection at a reasonable pace (3 to 5 coins per year) without a major cash outlay. The approach has allowed me to enjoy each SD and learn about the subject(s) commemorated on them without creating any financial restrictions on my pursuit of pieces for my core collection of US commemorative coins and medals (1873 to date). It's been tempting at times to pursue other RCM releases (and I have given in to temptation on occasion) but the focused approach has proven to be a good thing for me. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

I'm assuming that the RCM won't release any new products until next year, so here are some numbers for released products since January 2016, and some comparisons with previous years. This year the RCM proposed 236 NCTL products, for a total of $ 475,225 if you buy one of each. Also I've count around 30 non-NCLT coins this year (bullion, medals, privy, etc.) Following picture show the number for NCTL products release over the last 4 years. The main reason for the high total in 2013 is that the RCM release five $69,000 coins  Now if we look at released coins and compositions for 2016, we have the following distribution showing that the RCM has produced 280 differents coins (silver, gold, platinum, other) :  And as a last table, we can analyse the distribution of coins release over the last years:  Remarks:  Did we see the peak of RCM number of products in 2015 ? Is there a decrease in the number of gold coins over the last 3 years ? In 2016, the RCM has creates 73 differents $20 Silver coins. Yes it is a first! Hope you enjoy... |

Wow!
Both to the number of coins, and also to taking the time to compile that list. Thanks for posting.

Thanks very much for taking the time to share your calculations, Buick.  Numbers tell an interesting story! It was also in about 2012 when RCM changed from quarterly to monthly offerings. That was the beginning of the NCLT frenzy. Quote:Did we see the peak of RCM number of products in 2015 ? No, I think more of the next year (2017) was issued in 2016 than ever before. It's not even 2017 and 54 silver have been released? Oh my. It's easy to see where that's going. Much like new cars, RCM increases the selling period of new NCLT to more than 12 months in an attempt to increase sellouts. Edited by wildflowerAB

I'm not Canadian, so I may be missing an intuitive appreciation of RCM. I struggle with the USA and a feeling that there are way too many offerings each year. Clearly, I should feel better about that. These numbers are staggering. I do collect world silver bullion...so I both love and collect the silver maple leaf. But I only collect just the one regular bu bullion-- because there are just way too many other things out there. I can't collect anything from Australia either, other than the regular Kangaroo, because I will be broke trying to keep up. To me, I think at some point it must be counter productive. But maybe not. |
