Limit one per household and soldout! I guarantee that MWario and his close ties with the mint will have more than enough to go around.

This is amayzing how fast it Sold Out.
now, the race to the sky with the price?
So from the people description, I can understand that the coin is not .9999 silver pure. Magnets and other stuff.
This is not really good. Modern NCLT we like for it pureness as well. And don't forget about Tax that will applied, by ordering from other sources.

There is tax for people living in a PST province like BC. If I bought it from the RCM I would be paying 7% PST on the coin which is $52.50. Total of $802.50 for me. Unless I buy from out of province. |

MWario will pay all the taxes out of his own pocket, what a saint, or does he actually pay?

Thank you for specs, Jimper.
Just people reporting "magnets", so I thought, they embedded into the silver, making it less pure.

Unless the RCM used some super magnets in the carousel, they probably just used some of their patented multi-ply steel to make the unit spin, but one would suspect and be disappointed with the size of the carousel. |

Judging by the picture of the coin, since the actual coin is 65 mm in diameter I would guess that the carousel would be in the size of a loon dollar or a bit smaller. IMO

Totally agree with the guess of the size and I think most collectors will be disappointed with the size of the carousel with the coin in hand. Sitting flat in a cabinet, one would guess the whole unit is too small to create any wow factor.

I expect the size of the coin will be similar to the Polar Bear Sculpture coin which is also 65 mm wide. The carousel coin has the same wooden base as the polar bear coin. And the polar bear coin is 5 oz, close to the 6 oz of the carousel coin.

My thoughts exactly. I have both bear coins 10 oz and the 5 oz and going to add this coin to my collection. Also have the 10 oz star trek ship and the 10 oz Superman shield. I call these type of coins as ornamental coins. Great to put in a display case.

There is a market for everything the RCM produces. does that mean this thing will increase in value? It might but haven't we seen other gimmicky coins that didn't even sell out? Such as the maze with the little brass ball. It's still listed on the RGM site with 87% sold despite being dated 2016. Granted the mintage was way higher at 8000, it only cost $115. In the end, this thing is very expensive and future generations will doubtfully be seeking them out at a marked up price. |
