  3. Kidthief, silvercoinnews 話每款mintage 50,000pcs.
    跟你的info差好遠.
    現在我欠2010那款. Apmex沒有貨. 激氣!
    無理由去好旺角買800-1000/pc 被人當水魚>.<

  4. Actually I am not too sure myself, I see different mintage, I would go ask around. $800HKD is too over price.

    Both quality and service are deteriorating from RCM...

  6. RE: Yan

    Can you tell me more what quality and service at RCM are deteriorating?

    But I dont like silver coins with milk spots!!!

  7. Premium is high
    Milk spot is a universal problem
    Even 9999 gold maple coins have red spots and the blister packing is not a reliable one.
    shipping is long
    .

    .
    Can you give me some reasons for it?
    Different variety (e.g. wildlife) might be one of those.

  8. RE: NLP

    I check with my LCS, the numbers I have is the amount sold, not the mintage. So they could have more mint than sold. As for Ice Hockey the amount sold is N/A

    RE: Yan

    The red spots is most likely copper residue from previous minting process. I highly doubt with copper spots that it is still 9999 fine gold.

    BTW what kind of reasons were you looking for?

  10. It seems many ppl place eagles>maples, unless like you said some special design like the wildlife series

  11. kidthief,tks for yr info about the no. of qty sold. If the numbers given are not the mintage, that means the no. of qty of hockey sold is 79,278 pcs. Right?

    As for the wildlife series, the mintage of each design is 1,000,000 pcs. Is it correct?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Yes NLP, the numbers are correct. What I want to know is that the number sold for Hockey is 79,278, does that mean that there might be more mint than sold? Coins that they might sell in the future/selling now?
