Jackalope Valued Member Canada 194 Posts	Posted 06/28/2017 11:49 am Just wondering what happened? This set was 71% sold two days ago and the shipping date was Sept 27 now it's Sold Out and the shipping date is Oct 10. what's up with that? and why is it shipping so late? http://goccf.com/rcm/itm/prod2960015 Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12263 Posts	Posted 06/28/2017 3:46 pm I've found that the web site's notice of "percent sold" lags behind actual sales and can switch to "sold out" without the expected "almost gone" notice. Shipping dates for RCM coins/sets often change over time. The RCM does not produce the entire potential mintage of its coins and/or sets ahead of time; it makes several production runs over time. The change in shipping date for this set likely means either another coin production run is needed to fill recent orders or one of the packaging items is on backorder at their supplier(s).

Jackalope Valued Member Canada 194 Posts	Posted 06/28/2017 5:42 pm Thanx commems for the clarification. The reason I asked is usually the coin will go to Awaiting Stock after %Sold and before Sold Out. Report this Post to the Staff
SaintRidley Pillar of the Community United States 592 Posts	Posted 07/11/2017 11:18 pm I bought the penultimate set available at the Winnipeg mint this afternoon. It was one of the two display copies they had. Oh, this one isn't the pure silver one. That's the one I bought. Edited by SaintRidley 07/12/2017 9:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
YesOrNo Valued Member Canada 367 Posts	Posted 07/12/2017 09:17 am Is the red on the proof dollar regular paint or enamel, as in the newer standalone proof dollar? Report this Post to the Staff
commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12263 Posts	Posted 07/12/2017 1:17 pm For this proof set, the RCM does not mention enamel in any of its descriptions of the SD - including on the set's COA. It just describes the SD as having "red colour over the engraved 150." The latest SD (with enamel) has not yet arrived in my mail box, so I can't yet make a direct comparison.

headlessone Valued Member Canada 83 Posts	Posted 07/12/2017 5:34 pm Memory tells me "enamel" means "hard," and so does not imply any particular technical means or substances in its production. But in popular and meaningful usage it usually takes on that sort of distinction. For example, our teeth have an enamel that when thin makes them vulnerable to decay (any dentists in the house? Sorry.) So the tooth enamel is meaningfully distinct from the softer part of the same tooth which underlays the hard part. If the analogy to the coin were perfect one would expect the paint to be harder than the metal, and both to be made of the same material. Get it? Feeling helpful. Report this Post to the Staff
YesOrNo Valued Member Canada 367 Posts	Posted 07/12/2017 8:07 pm @ommems Yes, it's impossible to compare the red on the two coins for now. The red "150" all looked the same on pictures. @headlessone Kind of. Lol Report this Post to the Staff
