JGG Pillar of the Community Canada 798 Posts	Posted 08/05/2019 2:56 pm The 2013 Canada S$20 World Baseball Coins are arguably the least popular NCLT series of the past 10 years. I believe the mintage on these were 7500, but I am seeing them advertised on ebay as only 850 or so were sold. Can anyone confirm/refute the claim that only 850 of these coins were released by the RCM? I see them available online for $70 or so each, which would make them incredibly cheap if the surviving mintage is really that low. Report this Post to the Staff

A quick search should turn them up for you. - The mintage figures listed by the RCM on the sales page for each of its coins is the maximum number it will produce, not the number it has actually struck. - The sales/mintage figures vary for each of the WBC silver (and gold) coins - per the 2013 RCM Annual Report, the silver coin sales figures range from 864 to 1,405. They're absent from the 2014 Report even though I believe they were still being sold in 2014. The lack of 2014 reporting has always made the sales figures reported in 2013 tough to accept as the final mintage figures for the coins. - One problem with these coins (and many others produced by the RCM) is that they are not part of a cohesive, ongoing series that drives collectors to seek them out to complete their set. Thus, they were not in great demand when released and they're not in great demand now. If the WBC stops operations in the future (a possibility), even fewer future collectors will be driven to seek out the coins. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.
