September 2017 RCM Release

On ebay at mario95coin there was here such picture with a box for 2018 Renewed Voyageur Dollar Big Coin 5OZ.
From the box picture, we can conclude that unfortunately, with the exception of the Voyageur Dollar itself, the other denominations are a banal repetition of coins of 2015, only in pink gold.
It's a pity. It would be desirable, that similar coins (yes for such price), had more original design.

I can already see by the packaging that they "probably" will not do individual customized sleeves depicting which coin is inside like they did with all the previous 5 ounce big coin series. Smart move by RCM in saving $$$$ and hopefully they are not stupid enough this time around to give the wooden box starting with the first coin in a subscription because I saw so many at auctions with only the first coin (loonie) in the wooden box up for bidding.

This time around there will be 7 big coins in this series. I definitely want that voyageur big coin; however, even though I have all three of the big coin series....I am on the fence about this one. I will have to wait and see.

Are you saying there will be a penny in this set too?

The Great Seal of Canada coin was first produced in 2003 with a mintage of 998. So I'm not going to buy it this time. Not a fan of repeated stuff.

I find the 2 oz. gold-plated Voyageur coin a beautiful piece. But I'm not getting the same "feeling" when I see the 5 oz. rose-gold version. It does not look right to me. I think it will be the same for the entire rose-gold series, with the exception of the penny. The rose-gold on the penny looks copper-ish, so seems more fitting.

Maybe my opinion will change once actual photos are available, instead of the renderings that are currently being shown.

Long list!

5 kilograms of silver is worth $3,522 CAD. And RCM is selling the Canada 150 5kg coin for $10,699.95. The profit margin would be 67%.

By contrast, RCM typically sells a 1oz gold coin for $2,800. And 1oz of gold is worth $1,646 CAD. The profit margin for gold coins is there for 41%.

Any insights why RCM needs to have such a high profit margin for all silver coins? Because producing a silver coin is technically more difficult than a gold one?

I'm not defending the mint here but it's not profit margin.
Essentially their raw material cost is what you've stated.

They then have labour costs, costs for tooling, costs for packaging, costs for overhead, cost for marketing, etc.
The business I work for runs on a 38% raw material to final sale price cost.

If you look at cost of raw materials to sale cost in numismatics, you'll always be deeply regretful of your purchase.
