Are there too many commemorative silver coins released?

The coin releases just in the first period of 2015 are plentiful so the question is this –

Are the mints killing off a very lucrative market by oversupplying?
The releases from both the Pert Mint and Royal Australian Mint around this time include Anzac Centenary and Gallipoli releases, Eternal Love, Cricket, New Year, the Lunar series with many different sizes and types, Coin show special, sunset Batman, Gods of Olympia, Star Trek and more but you get the point.
All things considered and under normal circumstances it would appear the market is defiantly been oversupplied. Although I am not that familiar with International releases the same expansion of releases appears to be occurring with other mints as well. The immediately effect of this has been a gradual drop in prices for previously released coins. If collectors cannot be guaranteed rising prices for their coins it does spell trouble for the silver commemorative market. It is a relatively new market really only becoming popular in the last decade or so and needs careful consideration and management by the mints.

The question in my mind is what of the future?

Kangaroo Silver Coin on Card

The Kangaroo series produced by the Royal Australian Mint is one of the foundation series of Australian decimal coinage and is widely collected.
There is in my opinion a significant opportunity that has developed in this very popular series.
If you are looking to collect Australian coins it may be wise to obtain the 2007 to 2009 Carded Kangaroo coins as soon as possible.
With increasing demand the 2007 to 2009 Carded Kangaroos are now in short supply.
