Looks like 200$ is the maximum the bid are willing to go on ebay, with next couple of weeks, maybe this one will be available at the issue price. I think the issue price was so high for a simple coin like that and the people are not willing to pay more for this one...

Probably over-shadowed by the butterfly as well. Tough to afford both at the same time.

Very appealing coin,not overpriced. Mintage is to high.

The design will sell better on a 1 kg silver edition.

Yes, it takes many more strikes to raise the relief that high.

This coin should do better once people see it in person and understand the uniqueness of ultra high relief!

@princeD11 - It is so true. In person I loved it. I think $200 is a fair price. Sold out quick. Low mintage.

Online, I really liked the coin. In person, not so much. I decided to pass on it. My dealer showed me the Haida 1997 200 dollar gold mask coin that looked really nice.

I love native art plus I live in Vancouver and remember the windstorm that brought down the tree in Stanley park for which the original piece was carved!
