Is this really Canadian cougars look like? Geez, maybe there is too much inbreeding. Perhaps Salvador Dali designed the coin!

You are all asking good questions. Maybe the government doesn’t want anyone to buy them, hence the distortion. I guess one cud melt them? Isn’t silver still silver at the current$ 34.00 an oz.

They are cool. Aint nothing like them in the world, thats for sure! Cats a little whacky, no doubt, but should be good premiums in future

I think this coin is better than a silver eagle, at least there are only 1 million made. Maybe there will be a mistake, mint error in some to make them more valuable. I think all of them could be polished or should I say the dies be polished better so they all don’t have lines on the queens side of the coin.

That is the worst art you can get.
Honestly.. did it get proofed? I would like to see the person proofing it.

“Excellent Face”
“Those 3 fat toes are beautiful”
“I like how the other foot has more toes”
“Those front paws look great. Especially the one where it looks like his paw was cut off and it just merged with the tree branch.”
“I like how you went with an out of shape cougar with some fat rolls on his back… it reminds me of 90% of the population. People will really relate to this masterpiece.”

“Consider this coin PROOFED. Another quality government product”.

What is that? A cougar/T-rex hybrid? A cougar on steroids? Also, how can they say that this is a three year, two coins per year, series? 2011 is the first year of the series, and this will be the third coin released this year.

Yes I would have to agree they , all 3 so far are UGLY. But Because of my respect for the fine quality (.9999) Silver , The 5.$ face value and most important the Canadian Wildlife Series is only 3 years long with 2 coins Per year Total of 6. So I guess I will go ahead and get 4 sets of each Ugly animal.
I really feel after the Last coin is completely sold out and can not be found lets say in 2015 ? I feel this 6 Pc. Set will fetch quite a nice price. And the 1 million Mintage is 30X less than the Average Silver Eagle. I still feel these UGLY Coins are a wise Investment. Am I wrong ??

Somebody please tell the RCM not to even release this coin. It is absolutely horrible.

This is one ‘butt ugly’ design. Poorly proportioned, the mouth don’t match the head, the tail is overly large and the legs with three toes are not appropriate in size. I’d be embarrassed to issue this one. I’ll buy it however to keep the collection going… That is a distorted cat….
