Quote: And regarding RCM bullion - for us in Canada it demands the smallest premium (same as Austrian Philharmonics), so people buy the bullion for bullion. Knowing this, RCM doesn't care about fine quality. I know what you're saying, Silveroid, but if I'm buying bullion I'd rather buy sealed one ounce or 10 ounce bars than an RCM Red-Tailed Hawk bullion coin, or other RCM coins that will develop milk spots. I think they should care more about the quality. Today's price difference per ounce between a bar and an RCM bird coin is approximately $2.78, so if I buy 100 ounces, I save $278 and get to spend it on a numismatic coin. If a person buys 1,000 ounces they'd save $2,780, and they wouldn't have to look at ugly milk spots. Why pay a higher premium for coins that aren't properly processed if all you want is bullion? Can you tell that I just recently checked some beautiful RCM bullion coins and was disappointed to see the ugly spots? My bars, however, still look shiny and pretty. |

 Will agree with your post. Even if I would want to buy just bullion silver, will prefer something, that remains good looking. The milk spots is the reason that I stopped to buy RCM bullion coins as inexpensive animal collection. Only selected designs (off cause part of these coins already developed milk spots). |

I agree about the bars, only thing is you might want to sell a few coins here and there later but if you don't plan on doing this then bars are the way to go if you are just strictly stacking silver. I guess a mix of bars and a few tubes of coins would work in that case. Edited by Northerncoins

Nice action shot of the Great Horned Owl, regardless of
the spotting, I'll get one to go with the other three.

Just received my Great Horned Owl today.
No milkspots.
As Silveroid says, the best of the series.

I agree that the Great Horned Owl coin is the best in the series.
If it develops milk spots over the next year or two, Connoisseurs Jewellery Wipes work well to remove them. It might leave barely detectable scratches, but that's better than milk spots, in my opinion.

I got mine from the CA Pre-Order.
Arrived pretty quickly.
Northercoins, I like the gold hawk but not
the clouds. I think the price is good but would rather the
gold hawk on a silver background. I imagine they will do
the Owl as well in some variation. Would be neat to have a
gold plated set of all the birds.
