@Dcadon I can't find the two items you mentioned being available. Are they not available to order yet? or are they only available at a higher level so far? Thanks.

I got the brochure today, and my first question to my rep will be - Why mail this out, if things aren't on the web-site yet?
As I said, as I was reading along, it seemed like a very jumbled mess of available, coming soon, and pre-order now.

i think RCM is trying to figure out the demand with pre-orders before issuing mintages. i, too, found the email I received from my rep confusing? do all the queen's new releases come in custom packaging? Also, there are two new coins: 5 ounce high relief silver coin with three maple leaves and "Bird Box" kilo? coin which is really beautiful but out of my price range. Edited by New1954

Thanks for the list. I liked the design of 1-oz Imperial State Crown. However, the $160 coin has a large mintage of 8,000. RCM pricing strategy seems similar to last year's Unexplained Phenomena: a great design with a greater mintage increase. My verdict: this coin won't sell out soon but will sell out eventually after a few months. I also liked the Special Edition Proof Silver Dollar. The mintage is reasonable at 15,000. However, the price increased by $15 from last year. The 2-oz gold Imperial State Crown is the most stunning piece. Priced at $8,260, it's already sold at both RCM and CC&C. |

Thanks @dcadon for the update posting. One question though... you tag this as a Mid-January... this is the correct timing for the February release... With MC advance notice of a week, general availability will be next week... Jan31/Feb1. Quote:
I can't find the two items you mentioned being available. Are they not available to order yet? or are they only available at a higher level so far? I am MC-Diamond and all of the January order and pre-order items are available online when I log in... they are invisible when I am not logged in. They will release over the next week per your MC level. As of this moment, the $300 1oz Platinum cypher and the $250 2oz Gold Imperial Crown are Awaiting Stock. Regarding the Collectors Edition Non-Circulation Set... I theorize that this will be the last set that shows QEII and that the regular annual set will be released in May or later with KCIII obverse. I will buy this... because this set is part of my annual OCD appeasement but I really dislike the tag "Collectors Edition" because it is my experience that this marketing tag usually represents a product that is anything but appealing to "Collectors". I know... NCLT is all that way but this is akin to "Double Secret Undesirable Naming" with apologies to National Lampoon. Edited by vonigohcr

I've edited the list to include the weight 1/2 oz for the $34.95 coin and 'Awaiting stock' on the 2-ounce. I am a Platinum Plus, and can see the products today (jan. 24), however nothing yet showing for the coming soon items. Edited by Dcadon

I didn't get the printed brochure... I don't live in a major center and the printed materials are usually a few days later. The email I received was not as precise so it could have been either... If it is a special release.. then we will know in a few days. That said, I think it will be a non-standard year as the January release only had a SD and not the Premium proof set or non-circulated set as is customary.
The $34.95 coin with FV of $5 is listed online as a 1/4 oz and 27mm in size. It may be that there is a discrepancy between online and printed.

I like the obverse of the Imperial State Crown SD with its four historical effigies of QEII, selectively gold-plated, but I think the over-sized typeface used for "CANADA" on the coin's reverse is overbearing and distracting. A slightly smaller font selection would have worked fine and been more tasteful (IMO).

Thanks for the heads up, everything came up today. I've been waiting impatiently for the rolls. I really like most of the reverse designs, but I'm not a fan of the obverse design. Also the 3 coin set designs aren't my favorites.

Does anyone know the mintage of the $2 Special Wrap Roll? I received conflicting information: RCM says the mintage is unlimited, while CC&C says the mintage is 30,000. |

I was gioing to order the "2022 $20 The Imperial State Crown - Pure Silver Coin" @$159, and then found out that 99.99 Pure Silver is not really "pure silver" and the price jumped up another $24. Sorry, but $185 for 1 oz of silver and a few glass beads isn't worth it.  Maybe down the road it will be available on the secondary market for a more reasonable price. |

99.99 is not really pure silver As far as the tax man is concerned - any silver coin, 99.99% will be considered as 'Fine' or 'Pure' silver, and will be free of HST and/or PST. Sterling silver coins are 92.5%, which you may be thinking of, are treated differently, and taxes are applied. Also, when 'attachments' change the fineness substantially below 99.99%, then taxes are applied. |
