falcon Valued Member Canada 457 Posts	Posted 10/18/2013 2:18 pm I still amazed that the mint never made a gold penny in the corect size. Or better yet a gold 5 penny set like the silver one :-) Report this Post to the Staff
Silveroid Pillar of the Community Canada 6768 Posts	Posted 10/18/2013 2:22 pm Nice, thanks CC-Ottawa, for topic and URL. I expected "Two Loons" to be there too. And our silver coin - IMO "1/2 oz Farewell to Penny" much better than "20for20". And if GITD Dyno will win in it's group - will we see "Gulo -Gulo" effect (coins in GITD serie for $500-$2000)?

The gold SML fractional is around $4000 so the gold Penny fractional will be in the same price range. I would like to see Gold Penny with the size of the real penny. That would be nice Report this Post to the Staff
