Excellent content for a thread. Any chance you could do a simple, undetailed list (just name and country of the coin only) of the coins you'll be doing "full coverage" posts about later on?

Great post that I am happy someone revived for new members.
Maybe this isn't the forum to ask, but: What is the significance and use of the Canada privy marks?

It is the same as putting an S mint mark on an ASE, same coin but the privy makes it a collectible " special edition " |

Correct, and usually a noticeably more costly "collectible special edition" as well. I believe RCM puts privy marks on special runs of Silver Maples under contract for certain dealers. I believe APMEX is one of the dealers that gets their own special privy mark put on Silver Maples. Maybe one of our Canadian CCF participants could put up a thread with details and histories of the different Silver Maple privy mark series that have been marketed. |

The Berlin Wall, London bridge, WWII (D-Day, VE, and VJ), world expos, the titanic, Canadian banks, are among the items/occasions commemorated on privy marked SMLs The Chinese Lunar Zodiac (first run) is an example of Royal Canadian Mint issued privy SML, while APMEX commissioned for the second run (last year's dragon privy and this year's snake). An example of a whole commissioned set is the Western Zodiac privy set, which was commissioned by the dealer Universal Coins. If you meet the minimum order, you can commission your own really. @SA4H: I did forget the Rwanda African series! but to the best of my knowledge Singapore only issued coloured silver coins, and I've limited my collection to BU or PF finishes (tiny, unobtrusive crystals don't coins, since the mongolian ural owl is just too nice to pass up!)

the PROOF Rwanda wildlife series coins are out of this world! Way better than the BU, tho I do like them as well.
I LOVE the Somalian proof sets also with the fracs.

I don't think APMEX was the only one to commission the new snake privy, provident had them at the same time. With the titanic and dragon APMEX was the exclusive distributor and obviously commissioned them. A lot of times they are reverse proof and beautiful. |
