Peregrine Falcon RCM

Hello all,

I try not to mix my numi interests with my bullion interests. I tend to stay away from some of the limited coins, colored coins etc. and stick with ASE, Libertads, Maples, Britannias and Philharmonics. I save my numi money for non-bullion sort of coins. Just today I got an email for the new RCM's Peregrine Falcon coin. I really like the looks of this one. I like it so much I might pick it up for as a numi instead of bullion (and hope there aren't any milk spots). Anyone else dig this coin? I didn't see any other threads about it so thought I'd start one.

Cheers,
Chris

 

A pic and some info would help!

Nice coin but after paying a bit of a premium for the wildlife series and enjoying milk spotting on most of them, will be avoiding this one. Such a shame.

 

This is first of the four-coin"Birds of Prey" series and feature two coins per year released in 2014 and 2015. Limited mintage of 1 million pieces I like this coin and think I will get a roll or two.

 

I like it , i may get a couple but I admit the problems with the milk spots on rcm products does make me shy away..

 

only 20 000 mintage and its in proof finish..so its impossible to get milk spots, these are not bullion...proof finish is mirror finish....

 

There is two version of this coin. Proof for $89.95 CAD and BU for $23-24

From what I can see its a mintage of 1,000,000 , and not a proof coin , but it is definitely possible to get milk spots on a proof coin , has nothing to do with a mirrored finish or not

 

Ok that makes sense

 

Rephrase: possible = probable. As in guaranteed to have milk spots!

 

Incorrect--all 2014 silver bullion products are being produced on a new state of the art line--no more milkspots (supposedly anyway)--I have 2 tubes of 2014 maples--all flawless.

 

This is pretty big news and I can't believe I haven't heard anything about it before. The milk spots on RCM coins have been a blight and if this problem has been rectified a lot of their products will get a lot more interest.

Do you have any sources for this information about the new state of the art line?

Cheers

PS - Love birds of prey, especially falcons so I will be after this if I can verify the above

 

Hi Justfishin,

Where did you get the information about the new press and lack of milkspots. I am not adding silver right now, but I might sell some current holdings and buy the falcons.

 

I'm a skeptic. Let us know in about a year if this is still the case. I've been burned bad by milk spots. I will not buy unless I hear from a lot of folks like you who hold for a year or two without milk spots. Thanks much.

 

I'll be getting these, will be paying a little extra for thermotron sealed sheets though.

 

My source is directly from the mint. They would like to wait a while to confirm the new process works from what I'm told

 

Yeah, and I too would like to wait. LOL.

 

The milk spot thing on RCM bullions is hearsay so far - I think its alot of wishful thinking. I won't believe it until I see it. I actually think the tubes they store in has something to do with it, thermal sheets is the way to go if you can get them.

 

Yeah they just showed up on JM's site today for 24.5 free shipping in USA.
I'm mostly MEH on them, and prolly won't get any.

 

ok...nice...so they have something for numisss....and stackers... great!

 

well ive got over 20k of RCM proof coins (collection)....and none has milk spots, they are not made de same way at all than bullion coins...
