So, this "bronze" allegory is NOT even first brass coin in Canada. http://www.mint.ca/store/coin/silve...-prod1290006 Report this Post to the Staff
SA4H Pillar of the Community United States 2764 Posts	Posted 06/19/2013 2:59 pm Back to the OP, are we talking about 3, 5, or 10 coins or 50+ coins? If it's only a few coins (up to 10), I don't think it's really consider an investment (about $400)..... On the other hand, one can have as many ASE/SML as one can afford at less than $27/ea shipping included. Edited by SA4H 06/19/2013 3:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dcadon Rest in Peace Canada 1360 Posts	Posted 06/19/2013 4:42 pm From Wikipedia: "There are many different bronze alloys but modern bronze is typically 88% copper and 12% tin" having said that, the specs for this coin are 95% copper, which as others have pointed out, is the same as most of the pennies. So, as I consider the 'penny' as a copper coin, so is this mis-named $3.00 Copper Allegory. :) Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9873 Posts	Posted 06/19/2013 5:46 pm It's not copper it's brass. Beer is made from about 95% water.I don't see any brewers marketing it as "water". "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

noahs-numismatics Pillar of the Community Canada 3167 Posts	Posted 06/19/2013 7:47 pm All I know is that I am getting one because I like the way it looks, by the pictures on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-Canada...t_402wt_1309 Silver and gold look nice too, but I don't like it that much....

Dave22 New Member Canada 26 Posts	Posted 06/23/2013 7:53 pm I have my Bronze Allegories in hand and I think they are really nice. I think it's refreshing. Almost all of my other coins are silver. In my opinion they will be more popular to a wider group of people because of the color difference and also the price is reasonable (I don't care about melt value and RCM profit).
