Hey All!

I recently acquired some Canadian Bullion Coins and I'm lookin for some info.

Why is there a Titanic Privy mark on this coin?

And I am trying to figure out which of these has the Expo Hanover Privy Mark.

The Titanic privy mark was the first privy mark added to a silver maple leaf. It commemorates the 86th anniversary of the sinking. Apparently the whole issue of 26,000 coins was purchased by a single US buyer which made them a little hard to come by.

Neither of the other two coins are the Hanover privy mark. As far as the Charlton's catalogue goes they are not a true privy mark, but are there to commemorate the millenium. There were two privy mark issues for 2000. One was a dragon, and the other being the Expo Hanover. These two were minted in a specimen finish like your Titanic ML, while the fireworks were were done in the bullion finish.

Good thing I got 2 Titanics then eh?

There are 2 different Privy marks with the 2 coins that's why I asked. One is just fireworks and one has an added "2000" which I never say in Krause

The fireworks coin was on the 1999/2000 bullion issue, and the fireworks 2000 was only on the 2000 bullion issue.

OK thanks

I am selling them today and wasn't 100% sure. Didn't think to look at the 1999 with a Y2K Privy mark that is listed in Krause.
