<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Juan Blanco, post: 1584574, member: 41665&quot;]From your link: </p><p>&quot;While a small number of coins bearing the date 1912, 1913 or 1914 have remained in the hands of individual collectors, the bulk of these coins were kept out of circulation at the beginning of the First World War as the government accumulated gold reserves to help finance the war effort. Today, the Mint is offering these historical coins in highly exclusive premium hand-selected sets of all six denominations produced from 1912 to 1914, in addition to selling single coins in premium hand-selected and hand-selected quality.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>First thought? This is a near-term disaster for &quot;numismatic value&quot; to the &quot;small number of individual collectors&quot; already holding these issues. </p><p><br /></p><p>Longer term, the release might increase interest, possibly. What&#039;s the breakdown of the OTHER 88% coins in the Cdn Mint hoard, and when&#039;s the next dumping scheduled? It would be interesting to track these coins&#039; values as more are dumped/released. </p><p><br /></p><p>I suppose that for most gold coins <i>the race to bullion (value) </i>is still on, unfortunately.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
