New Canadian 0.75oz Grey Wolf bullion coin

[AgAuNEWS]

Exclusively from APMEX and not hugely overpriced. Hopefully it'll appear in Europe soon.

I like it, but I don't like the size or the milk spots.

Wonder what the thought is behind the size? I mean there is no real reason why not but it does seem unusual and not really in a good way IMO.

[AgAuNEWS]

You coud argue the same for the 1.5oz coins the RCM does.

[BaldyBob]

The polar bears can be picked up for a reasonable price per oz. I will be waiting for these to be the same before picking any up.

Not a fan of fractional premiums.

They seem to be getting into a habit in respect of the odd size every now and then.

 

Besides the 1.5 oz Fox and Bear the RCM have recently done a commemorative 3/4 ounce for the US/Canadian special armed services, while the year before that they commemorated the war of 1812.

 

Not the most exciting coins the RCM have done, and with the launch price of these being a little rich.

 

Prices, prorated, are now more in line with other standard 1 oz bullion coins and seem to be in ample supply on Ebay

Why there is an egg in the picture under the wolf? (conspiracy....)

Well spotted, not a clue!!!!

I think that might be the top of the logo for AgAu News! The picture is watermarked with their logo!

Love the design, Hate the Weight, and do not get me started about the milk spots... 


1.5 oz bear makes sense... I do not mind fractional silver as long as it is easy for the average joe to guess how much oz he has for e.g 

1/4 oz coins, you need 4 of them to have one oz. 
1/2 oz coins, you need 2 of them to have one oz
1 oz coins = is 1 oz 
1.5 oz coins - 2 of them make 3 oz. 

Then you have 2 oz coins, 10 oz coins from Perth Mint.

Are you getting my drift? Can someone tell me how much of these coins would I need to reach a full oz number? 

[CurryMuncher69]

Just did some math... 

4 of these coins would equal 3 oz?

[BaldyBob]

I am with you Currymuncher.

 

Sod Panda's if they go metric.  

In fact when I think about it, Sovereigns are a pain as well.

[AgAuNEWS]

Ahh yess! well done shamatti!

 

It's a frozen wee-bomb...

Currymuncher the numbercruncher!

This is another bad wolf coin. He's too squat and his legs are too close together. Rubbish.

Went through my stash. I have 1 2014 maple of many Canadian coins milk spotted. Perhaps they have improved production?

Well anything is better than the Cougar coin from the Canadian Wildlife series of silver bullion coins. Truly awful.

[Cointreau]

The wolf looks like a fat dog. Avoid.

[Pete]

The timber wolf - the first in the wildlife series of 6 one ounce coins - carries a high premium now and was the start of a popular series.

Perhaps this 3/4 oz is going the same way ?

The 1.5 oz Polar Bear followed by the Fox seems to be less popular and why the huge price on the Fox remains a mystery as I would like to get a tube to complement my lonley Polar Bears.

[Pete]

Just seen Livia's post on STG and they will be shipping in about a week.

Had hoped for a better price though - £11.56 vs Apmex £10.27 if buying a tube of 30.

[StackemHigh]

I'll prob get a couple of them in my next order.

 

Putting together a few spreadsheets for Silver, Gold and Other coins.

 

Need to get to grips with some stock control.
