Compared to the US MINT products, this CA MINT coin seemed to have a low relief, very “flat” and lifeless detail, no contrast between the figures and the background and a luster that just looks cheap, as if it’s made of std nickel material. I said “Blah”, and sent it back. This Titanic coin might be better, but I’m not buying one. Just my opinion.

Nobody mentions if it is 1 troy ounce or less? I do not see it noted on the coin itself! How much silver is it please? Thanks, Andy
