The isle government is likely in for bullion plus 10%. Anything not sold will be melted into something else.

The Gold coin is a lot better: Only Snoopy himself is 'colorized'!

> Just for starters, I totally object to non Canadian content being put on Canadian coins..you think they are targeting the kids market with this one? (1) It's a 5 troy ounce silver medallion. I don't know why the RCM are referring to it as a coin. That requires a denomination. (Hence it isn't NCLT) (2) It isn't Canadian. It's issued on behalf of the Niue Island (Rock of Polynesia). Although, I expect it was produced by the RCM. http://www.mint.ca/store/coin/5ounc...0-prod940002 |

I can only guess the RCM is trying to expand their market with "ET" and "Peanuts" coins? I tend to think better quality collector coins generate more long-term interest, whether minted in Canada, US, Australia...anywhere. |

 Oh man... I feel like selling my coin collection (and handing in my passport while I'm at it)! |

It seems that Mints in their search for profits, have given NCLT a bad name.

In retrospect, I consider this more interesting than something plastered with US trademarks.  |

Yeah even ol' Bessie the triangular cow-coin is looking pretty good now compared to the Peanuts thing.  Edited by bibd

Now I may be wrong...but these coins are listed under COINS OF THE WORLD..these are not Canadian coins...IF you take the time to read the spec's ....I think you will agree...Most of the coins in that section SOLD OUT...some buyers liked them....

Koin, you are correct. I never took the time to look the obverse... When I saw this peanut I just couldn't imagine the RCM would print something like this on 5 ounces of pure silver (same specs as the 2006 4 seasons $50 coin). Anyways, it sold out. So I suppose this is a success and everyone should be happy now. |

I have to think the crew at RCM has been visiting the PEZ company. |
