RCM reverse proof maples

[schreckmer]

Hey guys been looking into these coins for my next purchase but it seems like there is a lot of variations in there mintages. Has anyone ever invested in them before?

The whole "reverse proof" thing is something I have never been interested in. Here's the thing: bullion is bullion, and even a slabbed MS70 bullion coin is not a numismatic, IMO. "Reverse proofing" a bullion coin is a method by which these mints are trying to inject collectibility into what is intended to be a bullion coin. You'll pay more in premium getting them then you'll be able to get selling them later; most will give you +- spot, after all it is just a bullion coin.
