However, I just bought one of these from an ebay reseller, because it reminds me that once in a while, the Royal Canadian Mint actually produces a desirable coin that is not overly complicated, gimmicky or downright corny... I collect nickel dollars, the last of the voyageur series, and this little gem will be a nice addition for me to enjoy. This is the seller's photo - but since I bought my coin from him, I don't mind using it!!

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12250 Posts	Posted 11/30/2017 5:31 pm I agree, it's a very nice coin with a classic design! I picked up a few as well. We had a brief discussion of it and its gold counterpart back in September. For those interested, it can be found here http://goccf.com/t/295680 I've been waiting for a proof version since the release of the bullion piece, but it doesn't appear as if the RCM will be issuing one. I think the lack of a proof version of the design represents a lost opportunity for the RCM as I believe a proof would have been popular in silver and gold.

joey76 New Member Canada 17 Posts	Posted 11/30/2017 8:38 pm Very nice. Do any of you remember what the original price for this coin was at the mint? Report this Post to the Staff
commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12250 Posts	Posted 11/30/2017 9:35 pm @joey76: The coin was not sold directly by the RCM. It is a bullion coin and was sold via bullion dealers and other coin dealers. IIRC, its original selling price was about $3.00 over its then current melt value.
