SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 10/18/2013 08:41 am I would love a blank planchet from this series!! But seriously, are these things even considered 'coins' anymore? More like a round piece of silver art to me...

john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5324 Posts	Posted 10/18/2013 08:53 am there was 4 million dollar gold coins produced by RCM, about a year ago one was auctioned for bullion value and Proof Positive was selling a RCM kilo gold piece at issue price with a bonus kg silver coin, My guess these coins have too high of a price point for any future price increases. The auctioned gold coin belonged to a bankrupt bullion dealer Report this Post to the Staff

Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 10/20/2013 2:27 pm If I had the money for this one I'd be all over it. I wouldn't be surprised if they used two sets of dies for this one to create the reliefs. Report this Post to the Staff

It had 100 kg of 99.999 gold. Rumour has it, a Saudi prince has it now, and he uses it as a coffee table. http://www.mint.ca/store/mint/learn....UmRErfmTgV8 Report this Post to the Staff
CC-Ottawa Pillar of the Community Canada 3690 Posts	Posted 10/20/2013 5:37 pm Saw that big gold 'coin' at the 2008 CNA Convention in Ottawa. Pretty cool. Edit to add. Apparently, there are 5 of them out there somewhere. http://www.mint.ca/store/mint/learn....UmRS6-1zaM8 "After several interested buyers came forward, the Mint decided to make a very limited quantity available for sale. To date, five of these majestic gold bullion coins, weighing 3,215 troy ounces each, have been purchased by investors from Canada and abroad." "Why did the Royal Canadian Mint make the world's purest and largest gold bullion coin? Because we can" and more Uploaded on Feb 19, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkS5OInjwmU "The world's largest gold coin is on display at the Canadian Mint Pavilion in Vancouver, site of the 2010 Winter Olympics. Face value of $1 Million dolars but is worth about $4 Million dollars right now, depending on the price of gold." Guessing that is where the $4M figure came from.

dialog_gvf Pillar of the Community Canada 1581 Posts	Posted 10/22/2013 1:31 pm I wonder what the demand would be it had it been a $10000 for $10000 offering? 5000/31.1034768 ~= 160.75 troy ounces 160.75 toz * US$22.77/toz * 1.029 CAD$/US$ ~= $3766 Edited by dialog_gvf 10/22/2013 1:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
PiVi1962 New Member Italy 19 Posts	Posted 09/09/2016 03:47 am Well, well I'm buying one of "The Dance Screen". http://www.mint.ca/store/coins/5-kg....V9JoQa3o5Es Yes, it's a coin... But yes, I'm buying it as a piece of art. Once-in-a-lifetime investment, not intended for resale, but for permanently enjoying its view.
