This is a nice coin. I had to have it. Just released and picked up mine right away. Nice size too at 10oz and 110 mm x 87.5 mm. will definitely put this out for display. Don't hesitate if you want to get yours with only 1500 minted to go around it will definitely sell out. Don't be disappointed. Special features: A MINT FIRST: A COIN SHAPED LIKE SUPERMAN'S SHIELD! This diamond-shaped coin is the ultimate addition to your Superman coin collection! TRANSPARENT ENAMEL! The use of transparent enamel allows the engraved collage of action shots to show through the S-Shield's iconic red sheen. HOME-GROWN TALENT! Canadian creators Jason Fabok, Darwyn Cook, David Finch and Tom Grummett have all helped to shape Superman's history as artists/writers. 10 OUNCE 99.99% PURE SILVER COIN! Your coin is designed using 10 ounces of 99.99% pure silver, and includes transparent enamel! As well, your coin is GST/HST exempt! LOW MINTAGE: Only 1,500 coins will be made worldwide.

Going out with a bang-likely the end of the road for Superman from
RCM-
Impressive looking - just not sure what this new enamel procedure is - it's it plastics with enamelling?

It may sell out at the RCM but it should be widely available at all the dealers because 1500 is very high for a 10 oz coin. There has been no other 10 oz coin with such a high mintage because most 10 oz coins are in the range of 750-1200 mintage. Another reason it won't sell out is the high cost. Most 10 oz coins are in the price range of $900-$1000. This coin is pretty expensive and many people can't afford it. The 3rd and most important reason why this coin well not do well is Superman coin fatigue. There have been so many Superman coins around people have lost track of them. The last few Superman coins have not sold out, so why would this one be any different especially with the high price. Also, paying $1149 for a coin and it does NOT come in a wooden case? Instead it comes in a black clamshell. Edited by MoneyPenney

@MoneyPenney All good points. The RCM has increased their prices on most of their coins. The 5oz coins are mostly $560.00 and up which makes this coin since it is twice the silver content with transparent enamel in their price range. I believe that the true Superman collectors will probably buy the coin as there are 3 payment options which might make it easier to purchase for some folks.All in all this coin isn't for everybody but for the die hard Superman collectors it's a must. Will be great on display since it is a nice and big coin. Probably the last Superman coin you'll see from the mint. Imho |

I drew a line a while ago, based on the price of an ounce vs the face value, and 'art' vs the Price - that line has been crossed, and my enjoyment is no longer a large enough factor. I've advised my rep that I will honour my agreements for any (and all) subscriptions I signed up for, but the individual coins, I'm done with it.   |

Colored NCLT coins and colored bullion coins can be very collectable and valuable, but are on the first step into exonumia.
I must admit, I have a few of them by default.

Cool, the RCM now has a superman coin?! You can say this about most of the coins pumped out of RCM. Polar bears, birds, wolves, maple leaf, sport coins,flowers,trees,trains, ships, and so on. Still people buy regardless how many of a theme coin they have. I stop buying coins from the mint with the exception of this one as I simply like the coin. Most coins from the mint are done to death that's why I lost interest on most of their products. I will on occasion buy special coins from now on. |

if you will re-read 2013 posts about "development of the things" with 2013 Superman coins - it will be cool reading. I even participated in the Reveal Event .... and got the signature of that guy, who was the "main Sherriff" of the RCM. Now after 4 years...no pop-superhero coin will cause even close to "wow" effect for me. |

Superman or DC comic items to me will never get old, but who wants to spend 1000$ on a coin filled with glass :(
This would have been such a nice coin in lower mintage and using silver and gold colours.
I dont think these will sell all that well.
I'm hoping they will release a Batman 3 Oz coin with Reverse Gold and Black Rhodium plating
Fingers crossed!
