Two 1 oz Mapleleaf coin $189.95


Just saw the images on the popular market place.

RCM surprises the collectors by issuing Proof 1oz SML!
The first since 1989.
Well, it still not 'pure traditional' Proof SML, but modified - the surface isn't mirrored, but covered with the '30 and maple leaf' pattern.

The mintage of the set is 5000.

The price however might distract many of potential buyers.
CAD 190 for 2 coins set? Does someone still ready to pay CAD 95 for reverse-proof version?

@Silveroid: RCM have already released a proof 1oz SML in the 1989 maple leaf set.

Truth, exactly as I wrote:

December release (small one) days ago published on the RCM and dealers.

But marketing people at the Mint in shock:
on the forum even no one speaks about it, except the initial couple of posts.
And 2017 MC Special SD - was able Walmart to sell some, or returned to RCM?
The silence is worse than negative comments.

Thank god, I'm not the only one who thought there are many marketing people on this forum.

For the December release, I found the Silver maple leaf 2-coin set is really nice. Seeing a proof coin and a reverse-proof coin side by side is oddly satisfying.

However, this set is not selling out soon and I'm not in a hurry to buy it. I'm waiting for a deal, just as an evil investor does.

Update for the 2 oz silver maple leaf coin: I took advantage of the $25 Black Friday deal and ordered one. Ten minutes after I opened the package, I asked RCM for a replacement. There was a 3mm by 6mm scratch on the maple leaf side. On the other side, the laser printing of "30 years" and maple leaf waves were very fat. It seems the waves were printed multiple times.

Btw, 2-coin SML set:
as noticed on other forum, and as appears on the APMEX website, the set is "product of collaboration between RCM and APMEX".

So this kind of commissioned item?

In any way, I like it more, than "Anniversary items" for other bullion coins - 2 oz silver bar and inside of it - 1 oz coin.
