There are no words....such beautiful.

When I look on the pictures, I wish I had 10 some spare coins to sell them, and for this money to buy one of these animals.

Thank you T1Steel for sharing!

To be honest, the coin on the mint website (in my opinion) showed way too much activity in the coin. I thought with the cougar and all the trees behind and infront of the head, along with the moutains, was too much for a coin.

But now that I've seen it closer in hand (from these pictures), it is stunning. I love it. I would definitely buy it now if I had that money to spend on NCLT

@Silveroid , Paulsz, you are welcome and thanks for looking they are gorgeous in hand.
When I found this site I began reading some of the posts about RCM NCLT products and some posts talked about how crazy it is to be paying 100 dollars plus for 1 oz of silver. I thought about it myself and think it is true. I liquidated most of my NCLT I had lost interest in locally at issue. I put the return into this series. I think these "coins" are much more interesting. In doing so this lowered my cost per ounce to around 69 dollars .It is still a lot to be paying per ounce. Don't know if it makes any sense, but I think in my opinion I have a more eye appealing set than the coins I had lost interest in and it is a much lower mintage than most of the coins from RCM.

Very nice. I look forward to receiving my cougar to compliment last year's wolf.

I wonder why the change on the Obverse pattern Sort of a chain-link kind of thing last year to a more subtle wavy background this year.

@T1Steel: Thanks for sharing the terrific images of your two coins. They're both nicely executed - I can see how they would be popular among those who enjoy animal-themed coins. I hope you continue to enjoy them (and the upcoming bear coin) in your collection for years to come!

If we're talking 69 dollars per ounce of silver in the form of RCM coins, that's a lot less than the issues coming out now. I wouldn't have a problem paying that today

Thanks everyone for looking , I am looking forward to the next and last one (grizzly I am told).
Don't have any idea when it will be released but hopefully if the price of silver keeps dropping the mint price would follow suit(are you listening RCM?).
I know it most likely will be hard to get my original investment back (if I wanted to resell) but I think the whole series is great and they will make a great conversation piece if and when I get to showcase them all together.
Thanks again!

so much more details than the bullion cougar. 69/oz from RCM is definitely acceptable:)
