Hmm, not quite sold out actually. The mint is still awaiting more stocks for the gold coins and 1/2 oz coins. They're getting sold really quickly.

Awaiting stock means just that, give it another day and you'll probably see more listed. This is the RCM method of slowly releasing coins to create the illusion of desirability. They've done this with every 'big' release that they've pumped. I doubt they are selling quite as fast as some would lead you to believe, if they were then there's no way they would have opened mint direct sales up to the US in addition to Canada.

Not sure where you're getting that idea...almost all of the time, when a product goes "Awaiting Stock" at RCM it doesn't come back.

Only have to look as far back as the Grandmother Moon Mask and Canopy... I know they both did this because I ordered 1 of each when they came back in stock. :rolleyes:

You are correct...it does happen, but I don't foresee this happening on most of the superman stuff.
 
Ahh. Just missing the vintage coins. Then I'll have the whole set in hand!

Those aren't next day...maybe a month down the road they come back, and that's because those are returns...not stock magically appearing.

For the Moon Mask, and Canopy, they weren't "hot" instantly, so many people returned them or cancelled their orders.

What you saw coming back in stock are returned/cancelled orders.
 
No wonder I don't have the vintage coins yet, the mint hasn't shipped any! :)

We'll have to agree to disagree.

What I'm seeing is RCM doing what Apmex and the other large bullion dealers do, only put a small amount of inventory out at a time.

I'm talking next day, not next month.

These coins aren't just your usual colored coins, cos they first of all have a limited mintage and secondly are coins representing Superman.

Even my wife who isn't a coin collector says its a worthwhile investment cos who doesn't like Superman? :)

FYI, each coin carries a special message written in the Kryptonian language. I've yet to spend some time deciphering each coin.

I saw much more limited colored coin sold for much less than were worth on the beginning. Sold few myself. I'm not saying that all colored coins are bad investment, but I will think not only twice before buying them, but rather thrice. :)

I'm more fan of Batman though as his comic books/movies have darker, more complex theme(s).

About two minutes, just long enough for me to finish my point. Now, a staple of the superhero mythology is, there's the superhero and there's the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When that character wakes up in the morning, he's Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man. And it is in that characteristic Superman stands alone. Superman didn't become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red "S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears - the glasses, the business suit - that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent. He's weak... he's unsure of himself... he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race. Sorta like Beatrix Kiddo and Mrs. Tommy Plimpton.

What coins were those if I may ask?

The gold coin is limited to 2000, therefore there's only going to be a full 2000 sets worldwide.

I'm pretty sure there's alot more Superman fans out there cos I lost count how many times a Superman movie was made!
 
Here's a video of my very own Superman Hologram Coin. Pardon me if it's not the best video you've seen on the internet. :lol:

Deadly and Dangerous and some others. Losses on D&D weren't so great.

Many other members had similar "success" as I had with colored coins.

Superman of course is known worldwide and doesn't need PR.

Is gold 1oz as well?

The coins just aren't anything special to me, except maybe hologram one. I'm not saying that pictures aren't nice. And I usually rather buy coins I like, rather that buy things to hope to make money of it. I currently can't afford much purchases so I've became more picky. If there is no "connection" with coin,na-ah.

In the end they could make Superman making number 2 and they would still sell. I know that some would profit a lot of this coins. I guess is similar as with Dr. Who although I've found that coin more interesting.

It's nice to see something else on coin than mostly just animals.

Any way I will check videos.:)
 
The gold is going quite well as it has the lowest mintage (2000). I like the gold the most but don't feel like dishing out an additional 13% tax on it as it is only 14k gold.

That was my way of thinking too in the beginning, but unlike we collectors of Numis and bullion most superman collectors don't concentrate too much about the gold content as long as its a "superman" gold coin, and in the end its the demand that makes a collectible valuable or not whether its .9999 gold or .6666 gold the demand sets the price.
 
^Theres now been a couple of these sets that fetched >$2000, nice to see where this is headed, however I would never sell something that valuable on eBay just due to the fear of being scammed.
 
Well, I don't deny I was a sceptic at first, but my wife convinced me that they are a collector's item.

Still waiting for the vintage and gold coins and would have completed the set!
 
I received my 2 modern day superman coins in the mail today, very nice and the display cases are beauty's , also got the superman booklet which in itself is worth keeping protected just like a comic book.
