As I understand it, the BIG problem with this is the foam reacting with the coin and causing a blackening. So, without seeing it in hand there is a risk it is an ugly mess. Take a look along the bottom of the obverse. You can clearly see the problem. No super close up of the reverse, because if you look closely it is far worse. |

I tried searching the Colonial site but it was kind of like coin roll hunting and sadly I just don't have the time. Good hunting to those that do!

Even at those discounted prices, Colonial Acres and other dealers are making money because they get a discount of 10-15%. So if a coin sell retail for $500, they could have pay as little as $425 for it.

Off course they make money, they are dealers but at least you not paying as much as you used to. They are a business and they have store front, do you expect to sell it at a lost? They only sell it at a lost if they really need to.

CC&C sells the "Autumn Bliss" + "$20 Canoe" for $139.95
Not the "best deal", but still attractive who missed both the coins and wants them.

Arianzo, that's quite expensive for 1/2oz timberwolf. The 2011 1oz has the same design.

Thanks CC-Ottawa and Lostwords. In fact, $45 is the price of Colonial Acres plus the ebay fees. What I don't get is why a bullion coin cost $40 ... isn't supposed bullion means the metal value? I think nowadays we are in a 3rd category called: semi-bullion. |

Some folks call it semi-numismatic. Colonial Acres had the 1oz timberwolf for $40 a month or so ago...Keep in mind as well, these do tend to have milk spot after times..
