To zzzhuge, Dooby Rak: This year (to be more correct - at the end of the 2012), the 1/2oz "Year of the Snake" 10 dollars already has been issued: http://www.mint.ca/store/coin/year-...-prod1520006and this is the same format, like the 1/2oz "year of the dragon". But now, we have additional 1/2oz "Snake" - the same finish and the same format, but the different snake design (which is better, IMO) and lower mintage. |

I got to see these coins about a month ago at Canada post from their order catalog, and nothing impressed me. The 4th coin in the GO7 series is REALLY lame...nonetheless it's part of my subscription so I will be getting it whenever...

For those who have seen the new coins, what is on the Arctic Dollar?

The background is a large compass. In the foreground stand three mean, and a team of 4 dogs with a ladened sled.
The gold plated version in the fine silver set looks great IMO.

Ya, I don't think I'm going to buy anything from this catologue. It would be nice to get the sets which are the "1st without the penny", but at $230 I just can't be bothered!

If you just want the "First set without the penny", you can buy the "Blue winged Teal" specimen set for $49.95 |

The 1 kilo silver coin speaks to me, in terms of my career and research in the Arctic, but I can't bring myself to drop $2249.95 on basically what is nothing more than artwork, struck in silver...

The 2013 1/2oz Fine Silver Year of the Snake: The coin, actually the snake has shape like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fiji-2013-1...em5650ddb848but the snake's head is inside of the round - it more beautiful, and without stone. The coin has $10 denomination, the "colors" of the snake and the "Specimen" finish, like on 1/4oz Snake coin. Come with the standard RCM case. |
