Thanks @vonigohcr.
Looks like increased mintage of 500 on the Pysanka, and 2500 on the Discovering Dinosaurs.

Thanks vonigohcr for the list. I'm very excited for this March release after such a long wait.
This year's silver Pysanka mintage has increase 10% to 5,500. The mintage is still less than what I had feared though: I had suspected a 6,000 mintage this year given the series' interest and the current war in Ukraine.
Also, this year's gold Pysanka price surprisingly decreased by $400: it was $7,400 last year. I really liked last year's gold Pysanka design (a hen?) though.

I will happily remain on the sidelines for this release. I hope those with an interest get the coin(s) for which they are hoping.

The advanced notice I received tonight says the Pysanka is 75% sold and the gold Pysanka still available. Interstingly the Rhodium dinosaur coin has jumped by 2500 coins over last year's mintage of 7500. One of the biggest jump in mintage year over year seen recently. Also, the 5 oz Bigger Picture Big coin series continues this month this month with The Beaver Coin. But only available as a single with the dealrers. The RCM only sells it as a subscription. The new 5 oz big coin series is a big dud with it readily available everywhere. |

As of this morning. The gold Pysanka is "Awaiting Stock" no update on the silver Pysanka but the RCM site notes that net proceeds will go to the Red Cross Ukrainian Humanitarian Crisis fund. |

Just an odd note, I received the March RCM release in the mail on Friday, Feb 25 last week, but got my advance (master club "prestige") e-mail notification this morning, March 2nd. |

Sure alot of ebay sellers with large amounts of Pysanka coins available. Not sure how this happens when the limit to purchase from the Mint is 2 per household. |

There was no limit on the advance notice I received from my rep. You could order as many as you want. Also, ebay sellers could buy the coin from other dealers. Canadian Coin Currency made the coin available to VIP custoners on Tuesday. When the coin is released to the public next week you could also order from TSC, Canada Post, and many other dealers. So it is easy to get lots of Pysankas. Edited by MoneyPenney

I'm a CC&C VIP member so I can see they had a limit of 2 per household.
I'm a Prestige MC Member so I can see there was a limit of 2 per household.
I'm not worried about myself getting a coin, but am wondering how others have purchased over 10 Pysanka coins.

@applesauce, I am Prestige and was able to order than 2 coins. Not online but through my rep. Do you have a rep? Perhaps that is the difference. The advance notice sent by my rep last night had no limit for the silver Pysanka. They probably added the 2 coin limit in the morning after tallying the number sold through reps and found they were running out.

Exactly the same thing here? Quite Odd that the general public get their folder in the mail before or at the same time as Platinum members. Just an odd note, I received the March RCM release in the mail on Friday, Feb 25 last week, but got my advance (master club "prestige") e-mail notification this morning, March 2nd. |

Well they didn't last long. The 2022 1oz Silver Pysanka, still in pre-order, is now showing as Sold Out from the RCM. |

The new Pysanka and Dinosaur coins have a shipping date of March 28. An ebay seller has both of them available on hand. Pictures of the actual coins in the ads. How does that happen? |

Quote: An ebay seller has both of them available on hand. Pictures of the actual coins in the ads. How does that happen? Dealer relationship. Direct Sales to end consumers from RCM online are almost always second or third shipping lots. I recall on one occasion that I purchased/ordered on day 1 of the MC Diamond announcement (7 days before general availability) and was given a ship date 2 months out... the following weekend, I was in my LCS and saw the same coin in the dealer's cabinet ready to sell. I queried my rep and his response was that for most releases, dealers get shipments before the release date so they can actually have stock on day 1 of general availability. The items that are delivered quickly from the RCM-Online are items with large mintages such as the annual SD or UNC sets where they don't anticipate a sellout to dealers for the 1st production run. What I presume you are seeing is registered RCM dealers with an ebay presence either in addition to or in place of a storefront or alternately, an ebay vendor with a relationship with a high volume registered RCM dealer. |
