Sucks that getting an oz of bullion at the bank is still way cheaper than this.

[Presto]

The purchase of these coins is not just for the metal. They are collector coins, and they are also legal tender. For $20 bucks (no taxes/shipping), you get a coin that's worth, at least, $20 CDN, when you receive it. Even if it doesn't appreciate in collector value, it's still worth 20 Canadian bucks. Buy it on your credit card and at least get some points!

Sucks that getting an oz of bullion at the bank is still way cheaper than this.

what are you talking about? an oz is $33.50 spot right now.

[Death2Theft]

These coins are 7.98 grams if the math is right it's 1/4 oz.

[godwin]

Yes it is that amount for an oz.. but the coin is not a full oz coin.

The mint is no longer a purely gov non profit operation and they are no dummy.. the silver coins of today are not as valuable in terms of metal than the coins of the past.

It cost them about $8 of silver to make a $20 tender coin.

what are you talking about? an oz is $33.50 spot right now.

[InvisibleSoul]

Yeah, they're banking on people holding onto them.

I don't know why I keep buying these. LoL

[unit]

These coins are 7.98 grams if the math is right it's 1/4 oz.

yeah but theres a face value of $20 what part of that dont you understand?
you're buying a $20 coin for $20.

a 1oz silver coin is face value $5, so lets say one day silver tanks, your coin may only be worth $5 while this coin will always be worth at least $20.
not saying its an investment coin but you're not losing anything by owning them either.

[pastarocket]

Thanks for the info.

[PuYang]

yay just bought this too!

did anyone else get a notice to subscribe for 2 more new 20$ coins as they release? (good if you dont always check their site). i just got that message, and i subscribed! i like these 20$ coins for 20$ hahahaha

[freakshow]

Thanks OP. Just bought some.. although I'm not sure why..

[i-VTEC]

Same, bought it and I don't know why

[Presto]

The good thing is that you didn't really spend anything on them. You just did a swap. You're not out any money, and you can spend your $20 coin anytime. Although legal tender, businesses may not take it, but you can always swap it at the bank. If you decide to keep it, it may appreciate in collector value.

[MG1]

I ordered three, and I know why. :)


Code wouldn't work for me, but used lower case "g" and it worked.

[ree666]

basically an attempt to contract our money supply if they bank on us holding on to them?

[hirevtuner]

ordered 3, love these collectibles

Ordered one just for the hell of it. :woot:

+1 I don't think they care. Cause there's many more other products RCM sell that's beyond the price of legal tender / what its value at. If I'm not mistaken, I received points for the 3 x $20 I ordered last time.

yup..its been on rfd for awhile..except originally the offering was for VIP members only..

Why is it that I can only find the coin via your link? I can't seem to find it otherwise on the RCM website.

[InvisibleSoul]

Before yesterday, the coin was only available to Master Club members, so maybe they forgot to enable the coin to be found on the regular site yet.

[Death2Theft]

Cuz i'm sexy and u know it.:ilied:

Did any of you know that in addition to the 3 coin subscription, you can also order 3 more coins in a new order? :bigthumb:

[Death2Theft]

So did your subscription get u these 3 automatically? Like they notify you in email and u order again after you bought the 3 from your email?

[DJ Milk]

Yes and I already received the coins yesterday and was able to order another 3 the same day.

[Death2Theft]

U got the double sided queens coin already?

[DJ Milk]

Yes I did. They also gave me 2 extra placecards which I threw away. My next 3 is already in the mail.

Damn I missed out on the polar bear :(

I'm not sure why, but even though I entered the code, I'm still seeing the shipping charges? I remember for the polar bear coin, the shipping charges were 0 with the code.

It is. It auto selects xpress mail, which is a 7.99 charge. Just change your shipping options to regular mail and it'll be free.

[Lomac]

Sell you mine. $50. :troll:

I still got my polar bears somewhere. Out of all the released coins so far, I think the polar bear looks the nicest

Thanks for letting us know about this coin. Just got 3 last night. I'm soo excited. I have never ordered anything from RCM before. I've always just bought silver maples from VBCE. I was so excited that i even wrote about it on my blog.

Got a working link?

[freakshow]

I think I have $120 in silver coins now that I don't know what I'm going to do with.. not sure if I should order 3 more..

[MG1]

Got a working link?

Yeah, it's not on their website.


At least it's not easy to find.


Also, what's up with the Mint? I keep asking them to notify me of any new 20 for 20 and I keep having to find out about them through Revscene.

Revscene = WIN, Royal (pain in the ass) Mint = FAIL!!!

[MG1]

I eneded up phoning in the order.

Found out the reason why some people get notification, while others don't. People who order more than $1000.00 in one calendar year become "Master Club" members. They get notices of new products before the general public. They also get codes for free shipping.

The shipping was $2.99, so it's not a big deal.

So, thanks, Sky_High , for the quick heads up....... another reason to be a happy RS member.

[MG1]

I think I have $120 in silver coins now that I don't know what I'm going to do with.. not sure if I should order 3 more..

It's still legal tender, and when you're down and out (ya never know), you can get get back what you paid for. Being a collectible, you can probably get a bit more. I bet some RS'rs wouldn't mind having some, as all previous coins are completely sold out - even that fugly reindeer one, LOLOLOLOL.

[DJ Milk]

Master Club members actually gets free shipping on all orders. They also get to buy like 10 of these but I can't figure out how they do it. I was only able to order 3 yesterday. My Master Club membership expires in April unless I spend a few more hundred dollars on coins by then

[Dragon-88]

I just found out that the first $20 silver coin that had the maple leaf on it(2011?). Goes for double the price on ebay, because it wasnt really advertised and now collectors want to get their hands on on to complete their collections.

They should have just allowed us to get 3 hockey coins with 1 set of quarters lol. Now they are going to have to process twice as many orders from people doing the same thing.

Mine arrived today as well. It's too bad the $20 coins aren't high relief. But I'm okay with that.

...never thought I'd be so excited about collecting damn coins, even if they are limited runs and made from rare metals... :lol

Part of the reason I'm collecting the $20 coins is the low-risk. They'll always be worth, at least, face-value. Most of the previously released ones are selling for $25+, currently.

Any of you guys have a free shipping promo code?

[valent|n0]

how do you use this as face value?
I read that since it is "non circulating legal tender" (NCLT) bank will not exchange this and you can only exchange it at coin dealer or back to RCM

[Presto]

Bank can exchange them:

All coins manufactured by the Mint are legal tender. However, unlike Canadian circulation coins, collector coins are non-circulating legal tender (NCLT). As such, these coins are not intended for daily commercial transactions and accepting them as payment or for redemption is at the discretion of businesses and financial institutions.

The Mint has a process in place to reimburse financial institutions the face value of redeemed NCLT coins, once they have accepted them from a customer and returned them to the Mint. In the event a bank branch is unaware of this procedure, customers are advised to contact the Mint with the coordinates of the bank branch, which will take steps to inform the branch of the redemption process.

As collector coins can only be redeemed at face value by businesses and financial institutions willing to accept them, it is recommended that individuals wishing to sell a collector coin first consult with a coin dealer, who is more likely to offer a price above face value.
http://www.mint.ca/store/mint/customer-service/faq-1100010#Q1a

If the bank doesn't take them. The Mint will send hired goons to the branch to straighten them out.

[MG1]

Called RCM and they will not sell them to us mere mortals until Thursday.

[MG1]

Ordered three wolf coins just now. Didn't have free shipping code, but it's better to get it now than risk missing one in the series......... so hooked on it.

Apparently, the hockey one is still available. Lady who took the call tried to sell me more, LOL.

BTW, their website is damn slow right now. Phone call was a 10 minute wait. Faster than the webpage loading.........

I always ask for the order confirmation number and I catch the name of the person when they first identify themselves. I often call them by their first name when I have a question.

[Everymans]

This reminds me of when I was young and collected odd looking coins. my parents rented our basement to this guy andy and he always had tons of change. He let me go through it and look for the cool stuff, I'd trade normal money for the cool shit. I remember I had a dozen of those dimes with the fish on them from 1967. Gave him a dime for them, they're worth about 1$ each at minimum. They can sell for up to 200$ if you get one with no wear, which was next to impossible. It can pay to look out for some of these coins and save them, especially the limited edition releases. Those month quarters are already gaining.

[MG1]

ah, the Centennial coins........ let's see, the nickel was the rabbit and the dime, I remember. I have to google the rest now......... I have a set on ten consecutive serial numbered Centennial dollar bills.

I'd only get this one, since it's the first in the series. Despite it's price, it'll probably sell out fast. Personally, i think this is getting ridiculous. The mint is gettin' greedy.

[MG1]

Yup, getting ridiculous............. the same thing happened with stamps. I have been collecting stamps since I was 9 or 10 years old. Now, with so many commemorative stamps being issued every year, it doesn't make sense. The fun is taken out of it.

[NLY]

I actually prefer the $100 coin to the $20 coin because for one reason - you can rack up on credit cards rewards much quicker.

2% cash back on the the units I just order = free money from credit card company.

As I was leaving, there were people paying random strangers walking by so they could purchase another three coins.

Heh thats weird, I got mine in one of the bigger compartment mailboxes that are at the bottom of the regular mailboxes

[NLY]

If it was shipped by Canada Post Xpresspost, it should of came with tracking and signature confirmation in a cardboard box.

The mailman should not have left it on your door steps.

15 more on the way :D

EDIT: hm... Not sure if I'm reading this correctly, but if you pay $20 for the subscription, you're buying the iceberg coin too? So... Don't buy Iceberg coin AND the subscription. Just get the sub if you want both... I think.

[lilaznviper]

I'm going to get both just incase
any free shipping coupons?

[MG1]

I was just about to post that............. free shipping codes, please.

69 dollars.......... no.

[604STIG]

Any updates on free shipping?

[MG1]

Not taking a chance of not getting them, so paid the shipping and tax on shipping. $3.35, not a big deal. I have all of them so far. Didn't want combo breaker..........

[lilaznviper]

i couldn't find any shipping code either. but like MG1 said its only $3.35 for shipping so its not bad. Thats like only 2 litres of gas you don't get to buy with your money :lol

[hirevtuner]

ordered the 2 coin (iceberg & santa)
called up to clarify with the mint and was told the iceberg is to be shipped shortly and the santa coins is a preorder and that it will be shipped out in october as it is treated as a separate order if anyone was curious

So... did you buy the "Subscription"? Or did you buy both? I only bought the subscription one, thinking it comes with the Iceberg coin already. I'm assuming the Santa coin will be sent out when it becomes available, and charge me automatically (since I subscribed).

Sorry if what you posted already answers my question, but I just wanna confirm, thanks! ;D

yup, bought the subscription only so i'll be getting the iceberg one very soon and santa one in october and be charged then

[PuYang]

^cool thanks for confirming! I only got the Subscription too.

[MG1]

Damn it, people are pre-ordering the XMas one, meaning they might sell out. I wAnder if they are going to strike more than originally intended, due to demand. In any case, might as well subscribe. Pretty soon, they'll push for standing orders.

[DJ Milk]

Did you guys know if you subscribe to each coin, the shipping is free? I always subscribed to future coins and when the coins is available they send them to me without shipping.

[MG1]

I tried to order the XMas ones on-line separately, but cannot subscribe without having to pay for the Iceberg ones again. I guess I have to call Canada Mint tomorrow to see if I can subscribe.

[lilaznviper]

which ones are the xmas ones? link please :D

[MG1]

Santa = XMas

XMas = Christmas

I guess I should have just referred to them as the Santa coins.

Anyone order the new $100 for $100?

[lilaznviper]

[604STIG]

Ordered the Grizzly coin this morning, but sadly no free shipping.

[PuYang]

^If anyone is having trouble ordering ONLINE with credit card, their servers currently have an issue processing the numbers. (You'll get something like "Credit Card Authorization Failed".

I called them about it and they confirmed its an issue on THEIR END. So I ended up ordering by phone. Just a heads up to you Online orderers xD

[PuYang]

EDIT: wow nvm sorry, I was a few days late LOL... Fail ;(

also, anyone else who's bought all of the coins so far? My box is getting full of these lol

[MTV Cribs]

I stopped buying these coins back in the summer. It was originally supposed to be 3 or 4 coin run but the mint is making so much money from it they just keep releasing a new one every 3-4 months.

I just stopped cause there were no more free shipping codes. Ended up selling a lot of them cause I figured i'l just keep 1 of each. Still have a few left :whistle: *cough*

[Oleophobic]

I was late to the game and started with the Wolf coin so I'm missing the 2011-2012 $20 for $20 coins.

If anyone is willing to sell I'm hoping to buy the polar bear, hockey, queen's jubilee, magical reindeer, farewell to the penny as well as this one:

Hi guys, not sure if you guys are still actively collecting these.

A while ago they had the 200 for 200 and some other ones that no one really posted about.

I've still been collecting these, and so far have them all I believe. Always buy 2 of each (one set for my dad).

Now they have a new 4 coin subscription, with the first coin as a 25 for 25 in COLOR! xD

2015 Canadian Silver Coin Subscription (http://www.mint.ca/store/coins/coin-prod2220078?lang=en_CA#.VGZaW8mnDF4)

Also really like the fact that they've been offering free shipping on all of these since a while ago now. So even without coupon codes etc, you're basically just trading money for exact value! No loss!

EDIT: added a photo of the current collection xD!
First 100 in the box at the top, with 3 other 100 coins below. Top right corner is the 200 coin, and below that is 2x 50 coins.
And the 14 at the bottom are the 20s. Sorry for crappy pic lol

[Presto]

There's a new $25 for $25 coin (http://www.mint.ca/store/coins/2015-canadian-silver-coin-subscription-prod2220078) coming out in 2015. It's going to be the Canadian Flag in full colour. You can't purchase it, yet, but you can pre-order through a subscription that includes that coin plus 3 upcoming $20 for $20 coins.

Anyways, this is the first of a new series (money grab), so it'll be worth the purchase. I just don't like that I have to subscribe to 3 more coins to pre-order it.

The first $25 for $25 was supposed to ship January 5 but I got mine in the mail already

I noticed that the $25 for $25 is up, and 3/4 sold. If you didn't get the subscription, you can buy the individual coin with free shipping (no code required):
