Fab 15

For the 2007 Fab 12, this is what I found:
-USA Eagle
-Canada Maple Leaf
-Germany Wilhelm Busch
-Australia Kookaburra
-Mexico Libertad
-Russia Academy of Art
-UK Britannia
-China Panda
-Spain Treaty of Rome
-France The Sower
-South Africa Nelson Mandela
-Korea Mask Dance

My folks and I both bought into the RCM F15 subscription offer... Can't say I'm too happy about it as of yet though. The first privy marked silver maple leaf was great (~$50), and the "free" case looks very nice, but it's been going down hill from there.

The American Eagle and Austrian Philharmoniker shipped out already, for a staggering $89 each. The only thing unique about them is the square capsules that the RCM housed them in so they'd fit the case. The coins themselves are just standard issue bullion. I had to return a few for an exchange too because the capsules were cracked (shipping in a non-padded envelope), and a few of the Eagles had numerous and very obvious bag marks on them... Wasn't impressed

I emailed RCM about this, they said only the first maple has f15 mint mark, so I cancelled my subscription. here you can see kangaroo at sunset with f15 is for sale as seperate product http://www.mint.ca/store/coin/2011-...Id=cat410002 but this one is proof version, so I guess BU version will be in the set

poboxw thanks...How many of the 15 coins have you received so far...Please post any new arrivals here...I know it will be next to impossible for me to acquire all the coins.. but it's fun trying ...Thanks again

Thanks for your reply...You can get those square caps from Colonial acres...I thinks it's a special order...

Does anyone know what will be in the 2012 f15 set?

RCM told me on tuesday that the deliveries of the next coin will be in March. Turns out that whoever did the paperwork for the coins coming from Europe filled out the paperwork incorrectly and the deliveries are being held up by customs. Not sure if it's Canadian Customs or somewhere else, but it's going to be a hefty chunk of money to come up with if they deliver 4 coins in one month.

@jpaiva83 your list is correct.

The Palma is an 15,000 limited mintage coin, that Koin_Hunter is going to have to source at the $90 price tag. I haven't seen it anywhere but in Europe so the Euro exchange rate is going to make the coin the same price as in the set. Also Koin_Hunter this set was availble to the International market, not just Canada. Hopefully the last 3 coins will be stunners, to make up for all the problems with this subscription. The Sower from France is a 2010 issue, as its the 50th anniversary issue, which just seems not to fit the 2011 dateline. As well Andorra does not have a mint but Gbmh does the minting for them....I think they do the same for the Ruandan Zebra and this is how they managed to get the coins with the F15 Privy on it.

When the Russian coin did not show up like it was supposed to I looked at what was happening there, turns out they discontinued the Saint George the Victorious and came out with a Sable coin. As far as a German coin in the lot it's unlikley that will happen as the Germans decided to discontinue the bullion silver and are only doing Non cirulating coinage. It's possible that there will be something from Ireland which would be fine with me, responsable mintages on their coins at least. The Finnish really know how to make some nice coins too, as long as there isn't anything from Niue things could go okay.

While talking to the rep at RCM he was made aware at how upset I was about the delays and how it impacts my budget, especially if 4 coins arrive all at once. Then I hit him up with some kind of gift, something to ease the anger at how the mint has handled this nightmare or a subscription. No luck with that idea, turns out they really do have too many happy customers.

Anyway, here's to crossing my fingers in expectation that everything will go smoothly from here on in.
