People are buying wolfs, so the website is slow from time to time.

Anyone think its crazy, my post office is charging $25.95 for this wolf coin. Yet other coins they have are at the official release price. I bought a robin yesterday from them at issue price. Doesn't Canada post get the dealer discount? Who'd of thought a crown Corporation would be charging more, since you can get it at the mint for $20. I talked to both postal outlets in town. Rox

I vaguely remember reading a while back that there isn't a dealer discount on the $20 for $20 as the issue price is the face value.

 yeah, it would be strange if coins were sold / traded for less then it's face value. This occurs in the crash of economics, I think, and then the silver content would be meter and not the face value. |

I still don't understand the $20 for $20 concept. There 7 grams of silver, and silver is a buck a gram, how can it be face value? Or it just occurred to me, is it because other $20 coins the issue price is way beyond $20. I had assume it referred to the value of the silver content. It just donned on me now, a newbie mistake. I think I get it now. The discussion really helped me to figure out the $20 for $20 concept. Rox

It's a brilliant money grab for the Mint. The 20 for 20 program has generated tons of new interest in NCLT coins and coin collecting in general.
If the Mint put FV $7.50 on the coin it would confuse a lot of people that thought they were trading 20 for 20. So it's worth $20 in the eyes of collectors not the people that seek silver for melt value.

If the store owner was knowledgeable about the coin, then why wouldn't they? But try using a 50 cent coin, people scratch their heads. I think it's up to the store if they will accept or not.
I heard most banks will accept them for FV, but they will usually call the Mint first. The Mint accepts them as FV at their Mint Boutiques for store purchases.

Thanks coin games, it had me majorly confused, since I bought my jubilee queen coin last yr, because I was looking at the silver value of the coin, it had really puzzled me, until today. Super explanation, it was very helpful. Rox
