I don't undestand why there are such different quotes for the PM's.
I just looked at 5 different sites and silver had a discrepancy of over $1 between them all!!
Is there one specific site that is the standard?!
Again..., why the spread?
Another cup-a-coffee post!
You have just (well, a year ago) minted one of the most beautiful coins I have ever laid eyes on! We have all heard it or said it before, "The photos do not do it justice"! This is truly the case here. I have never seen, or in my collection of what I consider, several unusual, beautiful pieces, to surpass this gorgeous coin!
I have not seen one listed here. Ok, I really haven't looked that close.
Officially it is The 2025 Canada 5¢ Multilayered Beaver Fine Silver Coin in 3.5 ounces of 99.99% purity. Yes, it's a mouthful, but boy..., what a coin!! A very low-mintage must have, with only 1650 pieces being produced. The two previous coins, the 2020 Multilayered Polar Bear and the 2021 Multilayered Cougar coins sold out almost immediately. I tried for months to first find, then order this. I could only find where Canadian dealers had it and 3 of my orders were cancelled because they offered no shipping to the US or shipping was prohibitively high.
Excerpt from the web site:
The art frames itself. Canada’s five-cent coin, reimagined. The background offers a sweeping view of the landscape—it doesn’t just stop where the subject (the beaver) begins. Coin’s reverse is an innovative multidimensional rendering of Canada’s five-cent circulation coin design by G. E. Kruger Gray. The words “5 CENTS” and “CANADA” are engraved on the reverse’s top plate surface, and at the center, the iconic beaver is surrounded by cut-outs revealing the landscape elements (clouds, water) and the year (“2025”) engraved on the interior surface. A wave pattern appears on both the top plate and on the coin’s obverse, which features the effigy of His Majesty King Chuck III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati. It’s a more dimensional approach to coin design, all while working with the traditional weight and precious metal volume of a standard coin blank.
[B]A limited collectible. Only 1,650 of these innovative coins exist and are available to collectors worldwide—a very low mintage due to a complex minting process.[/B]
Includes a serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
Packaging: Coin is encapsulated and presented in an inner black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with an outer black beauty box.
To date the highest price/ounce I have paid. At least..., if silver tanks, it'll always be worth a nickel (Canadian)!
In the last couple of photos, I've included a one ounce for comparison (sorry to mix countries!).
