canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 01/27/2011 11:14 pm [ Quote: Why doesn't this coin designate its weight on the coin itself? This seems like a rip-off to me. Rip off? How can it be a rip off when it costs you nothing more than your time to order the thing? You pay no tax, no shipping, no markup. For $20 you get $20, in silver.

NickleHalfDime Valued Member Canada 94 Posts	Posted 01/27/2011 11:25 pm Thanks Hawk C026 and Canadian_Coins for the provided info and pictures. :) Koin Hunter, I can't find the ebay Auction you specified; is it still listed? Isn't that a little much anyway? I thought a mintage this high wouldn't create much demand. Report this Post to the Staff
canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 01/27/2011 11:44 pm Nickel, for normal NCLT you are correct. 200,000 is something like 10x more than the usual mintage, if that many. But make no mistake, the demand at the Mint will exist because there is no cost. This is an unusual situation. What will happen on the secondary market? That I don't know for sure. I suspect it will not pick up any significant numismatic value, unless there are more released in the future. Report this Post to the Staff
NickleHalfDime Valued Member Canada 94 Posts	Posted 01/28/2011 12:05 am I see, thanks. Well I'm just glad I was able to get my hands on some. There's some sense of relief in not having any idea what the outcome will be all the while knowing that I'm not going to end up losing any money. :) Report this Post to the Staff

canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 01/28/2011 08:50 am Vinny, link to the rules are here: http://www.mint.ca/store/content/mc...?cat=Masters Club Quote: Masters Club membership is achieved upon purchase of over $999.99CDN* on one or more purchases and valid for one year from the date that threshold is reached. Once membership expires, it will renew upon a subsequent qualification of purchases totaling over $999.99CDN. In a capitalistic way of saying it, you need to buy your subscription.

realpenny Valued Member 423 Posts	Posted 01/28/2011 09:11 am Just phoned the Mint. I am not a Master Club Member. The girl I spoke to said I cold only get 3 coins then (I tried for 10). YMMV. Some people seem to get 10 without membership and some 3. Thanks for the heads up Koin Hunter. Edited by realpenny 01/28/2011 09:32 am Report this Post to the Staff
HawkC026 Valued Member Canada 150 Posts	Posted 01/28/2011 09:53 am Thanks for the ebay link Koin Hunter. I've actually purchased a few items from this seller over the years and his prices have always been great, but his buy it now price of $69.95 + $9.95 shipping for this coin is nuts.............anyone who buys one at that price needs to get their head examined! Apologies if this listing belongs to any of the forum members. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 01/28/2011 10:13 am Phoned my order in(1-800-267-1871),I too was only able to get 3.Only master club members can order 10 at present,but the rep said that one month after the date of issue(sometimes towards the end of February)if they aren't sold out the limit of 10 will be for everyone.

vinnycoin Valued Member Canada 442 Posts	Posted 01/28/2011 11:25 am I called the boutique number, and the guy took my info, phone number and order. I'm picking it up at the mint as soon as its available. Just wondering, did you all already pay and have coins being shipped? Report this Post to the Staff
dialog_gvf Pillar of the Community Canada 1581 Posts	Posted 01/28/2011 2:09 pm > http://cgi.ebay.com/2011-SPECIAL-ED...em3f06e0390c LOL. "There is a sucker born every minute" theory of retail? So, for something that costs $20 each, for up to 10, with no shipping, they mark it up US$49+ and add US$9.95 for shipping (+ currency exchange fees), and limit you to two at this extraordinary deal.

rodime Valued Member Canada 276 Posts	Posted 01/28/2011 2:23 pm Libertad: Why should it designate it's weight? We don't have the weight listed on quarters or loonies. And do you think getting 2x$5 bills for a $10 to be a rip-off? Report this Post to the Staff
