SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 04/08/2013 10:52 pm I am speechless... I would like to know if the Royal Canadian Mint actually acknowledges this piece as a pattern or trial piece...

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/08/2013 11:12 pm It's difficult for me to understand why this coin is not being sold through one of the major auction houses, where the coming sale would have been much better publicised and a much higher price could be realised. Because of this, the coin will now have to be authenticated by a recognised expert. Report this Post to the Staff

john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5324 Posts	Posted 04/09/2013 07:38 am any chance the RCM did confirm striking this coin to CCCS? Report this Post to the Staff
doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 04/09/2013 11:58 am Oooh....not good. Anyways, if I had 75K laying around I wouldn't hesitate to sink it all into silver bullion. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 04/09/2013 12:03 pm CCCS did not call this a 'pattern' or a 'trial' piece - only a comment on the finish. Times like this is when I wish the RCM representative still surfed the CCF boards, mind you, that was 17 years ago, and even if the RCM did produce this one-of-a-kind finish, I doubt RCM would have any corporate memory of something like this...
