Tough coin to photograph but it looks ok. Extremely heavy frosting on the Queen though.

Thanks for the photo, CC!

I'm sure Wolfy will look much better in person.

With regard to your observation: "...Extremely heavy frosting on the Queen though." I expect it's supposed to be a Winter scene.

Coin looks great.

Ok. You can't just say something like "Extremely heavy frosting on the Queen though." and then NOT include a picture!

Oh but I CAN...and I DID.

But ya, to be fair....I guess it's no worse than all the coins in the past 5 years. It's just sad that there are no details - looks like a sand carving on the beach.

this is a GREAT series. The Polar bear silver coin is my favorite tho, however the Wolf doesn't look bad.

I will tell you tho, the GOLD polar bear and the recent gold wolf coin, man that looks great!

I am waiting on some to show up on ebay to bid on but man, RCM is doing a great job with this series!

A little to frosty or something on the wolf. But at some angles it looks nice... guess it is two faced!

I have to look at it from a very specific angle to see the wolf, otherwise it just look like any 4-legs animal.

Got my Wolf today and I think he looks great!

There is a lot of very fine detail on the animal's fur and the rest of the design.

I like it a lot and am looking forward to the 1 oz silver and 1/10 oz gold Wolves.

The "extremely heavily frosted" Queen appears to have thawed out quite a bit on my coin. She's still attractive.
