"any idea of the mintage of the other rsc rounds?"
Re; No-one knows the exact mintage.
But this is what I've worked out over the years, happy to be corrected by any and all.

2012- Leoncito. (<400 mintage)
2012- Anaconda. (<200 mintage)
Two (2) Gold types were produced.

"Brian is a bitch" comment, Brian owned the Royal Silver Company. His company offered bonds to investors in return for a monthly allocation of silver coins.
He did a runner with our money and the money of others on this forum at the time.
