Fine Silver Coin - The Universe - Mintage: 8,500 C36CKCWoMso There's a universe of wonders crafted into this coin, starting with the way silver dust swirls together with a variety of borosilicate colored glass pieces to re-create an image of the universe. Every coin has its own unique swirl and each one is captured in a globule of borosilicate glass that has been handcrafted and applied to the coin. The glass was also given added luminescence to capture the faint glow of the galaxy—a stunning effect! A gorgeous gift for someone you know who loves star gazing. Order today before they're all gone! Special Features WORLD'S FIRST! Your coin features a combination of color and glow paint along with a specially selected borosilicate fine art coloured glass that also glows in the dark! EACH GLASS PIECE IS A UNIQUE PIECE OF ART! Your coin is crafted with a swirl of silver dust to create an image of the universe that is one-of-a-kind.

canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 08/05/2015 8:59 pm Nice PR video! Though I have mixed feelings about where the RCM is going with this in terms of numismatic value. In fact I have deep concerns about the future of NCLTs in general. We've had odd shapes, paint, crystals but it seems that there is just no limit to what the RCM is willing to put out now. At almost 8x the cost of silver and such a high mintage there is just no way that this coin could ever hold its value on the secondary market. But I could be wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
