I think it gives the flag a very 3D effect. Mine all lood the same. That's interesting. In the reality the paint is totally flat, but our imagination constructs the 3-D. Nothing surprising, cause this everywhere...I just tried to think about it. |

I really like the illustrated artwork on the packaging Jackalope posted on page 7 of this thread. It's too bad that level of creativity didn't go into the coin design. Another boring flag. I appreciate it's patriotic nature, but Ho hum.  |

Thanks to a kind person here, my £25 flag coin and the Snowman $20 are their way to me.

Mine arrived today.
It is a bullion coin.
My first impression was that it is a cheap sticker,
with a strange texture, not unlike that of the 25 c Bird series (think Barn Swallow texture).
I'm not trying to be harsh here, just being real.
Too bad, I was sort of looking forward to this,
not at all impressed with this coin.

On the bright side, you'll have the opportunity to spend 5 times as much in about a month for a proof 1oz that looks similar. :)

Actually just looked at the coin with a loupe and it has no milk spots.
I scanned through two layers of plastic and there was something in between.
Will take that out of the post above now.

In terms of the finish, it is a linen bullion finish.
Not a proof coin.
Yes and the most expensive 1/4 ounce available.

Silver Gold Bull sells the 1/4 here in Canada.I actually have 3 or 4 tubes each of these and the 1/10 oz ones .I dislike "junk" silver because..well its junk..lol , well no but it is dirty /worn and not .999 silver. Just cant seem to get into the lesser junk silver. There is no dollar denomination on these bullion 1/4 oz unlike NCLTs. 1/4 oz Walking Liberty Silver Round In multiples of 20 these coins will be shipped in a plastic tube. 1 · CA$ 6.47 ea Tube · CA$ 128.00 https://silvergoldbull.com/silver/1...silver-roundNot that this matters but I thought it might be of interest to some .

Yes and the most expensive 1/4 ounce available. The above is correct, only speaking about coins with "Bullion finish". There are some other 1/4oz silver coins that cost much more than the $25. Examples: 1/4oz Silver + Niobium - priced $100+ 1/4oz Silver + some stone (Morning Glory coin) - priced $60+ 1/4 Silver Proof coin (2013 $3 Fishing) - priced ~40 Well, the "Fishing" won the COTY award....so probably it will cost more (new Gulo-Gulo maybe?) |

I thought this series is supposed to be Matt proof? I like the linen look. I actually prefer it to all the other different finishes. So far I like the photos posted. I will reserve opinion until mine arrive. I do think I will not be disappointed. It's a FV of $25, if I really don't like it I can resell it or take it to my bank. I'm not worrying - it's not a huge investment. I'm not spending $45 for same size coin with FV of $3. The Wait for Me Daddy Coin.
