Comments on: Canadian 2017 $20 Polar Bear Coin Uses Diamond Glitter for Snow and Ice https://www.coinnews.net/2016/10/24/canadian-2017-20-polar-bear-coin/ CoinNews delivers the latest World and US coin news Wed, 26 Oct 2016 21:12:13 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.4 By: RODNEY MOORE https://www.coinnews.net/2016/10/24/canadian-2017-20-polar-bear-coin/#comment-182627 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 21:12:13 +0000 http://www.coinnews.net/?p=60004#comment-182627 They left something fairly important out in the article: the method used to attach the diamonds. I wonder if it is glued/epoxied or some other method. I wouldn’t want a glued or painted coin. I also wonder if the diamonds are natural crystals or have been faceted or otherwise processed to reflect light.
This coin is of particular interest to me because I am a mineral collector and miner. It is how I make a living and collecting coins is something that I have recently taking up again after buying silver eagles when I was a teen ager.
If anyone is interested in the process of digging gemstones in the USA I have linked my website (which I have never done before in past comments).

I did lol the guy was your typical criminal…a dumb ass. He sold the gold at a gold buyer next to his bank where he cashed the checks…the same bank that he used for direct deposit of his RCM paychecks as well lol he is all set for a bit of federal time in the big house…well his ass definitely is lol He will be the most popular inmate on his cell block lol

Cheers,

Mouse

On a different subject – gold. Did you read the news article a few weeks ago about the RCM employee that stole nearly $1 million of gold by hiding it in his bum? Creative!
