The Buffalo/Bison would be a fantastic choice, especially if the metal prices go higher. Our amercian cousins would jump at the chance for a copy of the design from the 1997 Platinum set. Specifically the $150 platinum coin as its the closest to the American Buffalo. The Premiums from a coin like that would likely surpass the Timber Wolf.  |

I thought it would be nice to see the first five coins together.  |

I'm holding off buying right now. My birthday is in 6 days and I had it on my want list. We will see how lucky I am.   |

@ RogerD: Here is the Platinum Bison. I agree it would be a very successful coin in this series if made in silver.  Someone in another thread or this one also mentioned that the Musk Ox design in the platinum series was bad, so here is a musk ox from the platinum series:  I find this Musk Ox design more attractive than any of the Silver wildlife series. In my opinion, the Silver wildlife series if poorly done. If you look at the detail in the Platinum series compared to the stuff they have used in the silver series it's pretty sad. But, everyone else seems to enjoy them so that's fine. Either way I think the idea of the series is good and a nice change. |

Received my Pronghorn today. The Moose and Wolf are still my favorites.

Bought mine from Colonial Acres at store. Not as detailed as platinum sets, but still very nice coin. Hope for the long term, that starting the Moose or Antelope, RCM solved the problem with the milk spots. The series itself very nice and it great to see all the coins clean and clear. |

I have one moose with milk spots, so they hadn't solved the issue back then... let's hope they do at some point...

I have mentioned this idea many times already for people who want to have all six coins in a nice box that is fairly cheap in cost. Step one, Acquire the six wildlife coins. Many places online sell them. Step two, order this six-coin box from Colonial Acres or wherever you buy Lighthouse products. Numis Quadrum Square Coin Box for Square Quandrum Capsules - holds 6 capsules - Ref No: NOBILEQ6 http://colonialacres.com/products.php?view=4548 Step three, order a pack of 10 square capsules for your six coins from Colonial Acres or wherever you buy Lighthouse products. Yes, you will have four left over. Deal with it. 38mm (Box of 10) Numis Quadrum Square Coin Capsules for Silver Maple Leaves (box of 10) - Ref No: QUADRUM 38 http://colonialacres.com/products.php?view=3736 Step four, Assemble everything and **poof** a nice box, that's inexpensive that displays the six coins nicely. |

Why would anyone buy an incomplete set with no room for the last two coins?
