Personally, I think the Bison is on par with the Timber Wolf. ‘Silver Bison’ has a ring to it that I really like. The design is good, don’t see what the problem is there although the foreground is meant to be snow but rather looks like water. The wildlife series in general is good for investment and for collectors and certainly adds diversity to the bullion coin choice.

@Eve Silver, most RCM coins are unfortunately susceptible to milk spotting, however they can be safely removed with jewelry wipes from your local Walmart.
A tip, use cotton gloves when handling these coins.

I disagree with the above negative comments especially the first poster who gives not a single reason for his dislike. This coin has excellent detail and all available space on the coin is used and not wasted like on the moose coin, there are no glaring mistakes like the misaligned teeth and 3 toes on the cougar coin. The pic above does not do justice to the coin, instead view the HD youtube vids on this coin. This is actually one of the better designs in the series.

Has any one noticed a wide reed edge on the wood bison? Its different from the first five of the wildlife series. Possible error?

I hope this coin will not get the milky spots some Maples have. With a mintage of only a million it´s an interesting alternative for Maples.

I tend to agree here….an artistic “miss” on the Bison. Not so much the bison itself but the distracting woods background. Yeah I know its a “wood” bison. But the way it is causes it to lose the detail of the head. Now maybe it will look better ih hand? Nevertheless a great series by the RCM. I only wish three things…
1) A proof version for collectors
2) More in the series
3) A collector set in proof….seems to me the beauty of the series is wasted on a bullion coin.

Yeah it cause it’s only going to have a mintage of 1mm. Fact is it is the ugliest of the 6 from the series.

What an ugly coin. The RCM really screwed this up. Bison are such an awesome animal and they really made this coin look like a joke. I will buy one just complete my Canadian Wildlife Set but really disappointed with the look of this one.
