I never heard about 2014 and 2015 Proof 1.5oz
RCM coins, but here the story, that might help you.
(probably you know it, but might be someone do not):
In far 2013 after the last Wildlife 1oz coin saw the world, collectors got to know new worlds "Lear Capital".
The Lear Capital was the dealer, who exclusively (or almost) planned to sell new
RCM bullion coin. Nothing special, but 2 facts:
1. It was exclusive to Lear Capital (however, in the 2012 we had 3/4oz bullion coin, that was exclusive to some dealer)
2. The coin was in unusual format: 1.5oz 38mm
The Polar Bear.
Relatively simple, not very detailed design.
Bad news:
as previously (
RCM special), the coin developed "milk-spots", not each and every coin, but still.
And - no standard capsule could fit the coin (at that time).
Possibilities were: 'X' air-tite capsule, with the soft foam insert, or the capsule from "Glass Insects" / "Crystal drop Maple" could help.
So, 1.5oz it cool and innovative, but milk spots and capsule....not the best for the collector, and in addition, the
RCM didn't get good profits.
Well...
RCM issues same coin, but with Proof Finish, with COA, case and capsule. Price - CAD 124.95
These coins distributed as single, or paired with 1/4oz Gold coin with the same design.
I think - singles "failed"....collectors weren't ready to pay extra for exactly same design but proof.
It available now for closely to CAD 100.
Lesson learnt.
Year 2014.
RCM issues new bullion 1.5oz coin - Arctic Fox.
IMO - great, detailed design, and distributed via all dealers.
Bit after bullion - issued Proof version. BUT: it was already 1oz and not 1.5
Failed as well.
After 2014, I think have been minted 2 or 3 bullion coins, with Arctic wildlife theme, 1.5oz , but not Proof
