Just started to collect silver. Ordered a few coins from the Canadian Mint. Just learned to purchase by the oz. Now fee ripped off. Looks pretty, but still ripped off. Buying silver rounds from another site. The Pegasus round is really pretty and worth it since the price of bullion is currently being manipulated.

I had this as a subscription and it showed as processing on October 1st. When I checked this last weekend the status had not changed. I sent email to the Royal Canadian Mint and the response I received was that the coin is backordered so it may take 2-4 weeks to go out. I’m fine with that but I wish that Mint was more proactive about notifying its customers about these kind of delays. Also why advertise the coin so much when you can even fill subscritption orders that they knew were in place?

As for the coin itself I do like the design and can’t wait to get it. I hope they have similar programs going forward except to put more silver content now that silver prices have gone down.

It’s an attractive coin, for sure. In the future the silver value will make owners of the coin even happier.

Already ordered mine for my daughter’s birthday.

I know that there is not $20 worth of silver in the coin but at least there is some and I’d rather spend $20 for a coin with some silver in it than $50 for a 25 cent piece that simply has a picture printed on it in a box and it’s still only worth 25 cents.

They are a very economic way for me to buy silver coins for my children and for the most part they are very nice.

I guess it’s okay to talk about “melt” value even when speaking of a snowman?
