I just wanted to say, this is, by far, one of the most beautiful, unique, and BEST coins produced by the RCM this year. I cant stop gushing over this coin. You hold it at different angles, and its like the fox is moving his eyes at you and his surroundings, the fox just glistens in gold, and really stands out as the light hits it. I NOW can see why they did this with this coin, the texture and diffrent coatings... this is going to be a great series and will be very rare. Awesome coin, I am hooked on this series. Just wished they did half ounce st least instead of 1/4. :/ |

I know why you like it Yup. its "proof" hehe, I do think it would not be worth buying anything smaller then a 1/4 oz gold coin as its just slightly bigger then a penny at 20 mm and the penny is 19 mm and ya 1/2 oz would be much better. Also the gold fox is only 1500 mintage, not bad really.

@North HAHA yes you know it my friend! The finish is just so BEAUTIFUL, great job by the RCM, this is a mint I plan on focusing in on. I think they have hit a home run with this coin series. I cant wait to find out what they feature next for this series. Yes, size wise I cant complain, 1/4 oz much better than 1/10 oz, just wish they did more half oz at least. The only gold proof 1 oz I have seen I like is that Moose coin, I believe the Bateman coin I think it is? |

With gold prices dropping, I highly suggest the 1/4 oz gold coin should be on your shopping list. Its a beautiful coin and one of the best gold coins put out by the RCM. |

@yup7676, you said "With gold prices dropping, I highly suggest the 1/4 oz gold coin should be on your shopping list" Are you still referring to the gold arctic fox coin? The Mint's issue price of $649.95 has not changed despite the continuing drop in spot gold price.

@yup7676, what is the cheapest BIN price do you see? Maybe I'm not looking at the ebay listings properly, but all BIN prices are no cheaper than the Mint's issue price. |

I forget, are we allowed to post a link from here to the auction? Not that I am promoting it just so you could seee whats going on. However, yes right now theres a bid on one going for 350 USD. I got one last week for roughly 150 less than RCM or even dealers, I even got it lower than Gatewest! |

Hi yup7676,
Did you buy this item from the same seller? Did you have any trouble with shipping to Canada? What did the seller do on the customs form to avoid paying duty and/or taxes?

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! do you see how these are dropping in price?!?!?! I mean, this is GREAT. These coins are going for a bargin now and I really feel folks are being spooked and losing interest in gold and silver with each drop because they are being burned each and every single time they come in to buy gold and silver. No comment on the bidding btw. I will say however, buying proof gold and silver RCM coins as silver and gold drop is the way to go. |
