Just how many rounds were made?

[dccpa]

I doubt if even Brian knows the mintage of the rounds and keeping track of things doesn't match his personality. You can't believe anything he says, so I expect the RSC rounds' mintages will stay one of life's mysteries.

There must be some official proof out there that their export license was revoked.
Earlier today I tried to email [email protected] (email found in a chain links from official sites)

Subject: Royal Silver Company / Bolivian export license

Hello,

In order to judge nondelivery declaration statements,

Can you confirm that:

Royal Silver Company (Panama) S.A. (Cochabamba, Bolivia)
No. de Ficha: 609270

has its export license revoked by the Bolivian Customs, due to unpaid taxes?

Regards,

But awhile later:

Final-recipient: rfc822; [email protected]

A pity, because the only way to bust a smarter cheater is to be able to prove a clear contradiction between what he claims, and what is declared officially.
Maybe there are other contacts to verify this export licence revocation.

Almost every claim made by Brian has been a lie and busting him does not help determine the mintage of each round. Dusty is trying to make lemonade out of lemons and knowing the mintage numbers will help do that. Everything else to do with Brian already has another thread to post on.

Just think how rare our coins have become. Last week, I saw an Andean Cat on ebay for $75 plus shipping, so the price of our coins is going up.

Allegedly, they will not release the mintage of any coin so they can stamp out some more and sell them to profit as much they can at everybody else's expense. Allegedly they also think pigs fly and the sky is green.

That's how I read the whole situation

End 2010 a mintage of 50,000 for the Andean Cat design has been mentioned on their site. "Only 50,000 Andean Cat Silver rounds will be minted.". A limit doesn't equal a production.

 

[Pirocco]

As a late update (on purpose), these mintages were provided by the producer:
Andean Cat 2010 9,500 (more made but many of the newly minted (free) exchanged for earlier minted due to striking quality problems before feb 2011).
Andean Cat 2011 15,000 (approximation)

Some statements:
- Minting was completely on order.
- RSC ceased silver round production years ago.
- The Andean Cat design will not reappear.
- If production is reactivated, it will be new designs.

I'd like to have some. Not mainly because of scarcity, but mainly because cat subject coins are hard to find, and the cat subject is popular on any product. I consider it a silver marketing gap.
