another rcm snoozer release

[nigerian prince]

                the royal canadian mint has come out with another snoozer of a release featuring a 12 coin birthstone set which sold out within the day(they are still available in singles) , also just released are some really beautiful, over priced, over minted titanic pieces; a "queens visit to canada coin that runs $90, a few other diamond jubilee coins, but there is one real winner here, a "wolf moon" coin, its the 3rd coin in a sterling coin set and runs $121, which i would have no problem with but i think the mintage of 7500 is just a tad high, would probably collect this set if it were 5000 or under..

Funny, I saw the CBC (Canada's, state-owned propaganda media network) advertising the Titanic coins.

Funny they only advertise the scams...

I concur they're nice looking coins - but the Titanic coin in particular is about 1/2 oz, stamped $10 face and selling for $65. As a collectors item, it might be nice. As a silver investment, I consider it a rip off (I'm not much of a collector personally).

I much prefer these, given that they're stamped $20 face and sell for $20. Even with 1/4 oz of silver, it's a great deal.

yes the 20for20 are a great coin for a canadian to own, as for the titanic, even being half an oz with that pricetag could be reasonable if the mintage werent 20000, this is one of the problems the rcm has is overminting collector coins, they need to follow the perth mint and make them like 5000 or something..
