I am not 100%, but with what I know of more recent RCM practices, these are probably legit releases.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

 to the CCF!! While I haven't seen these exact ones, I have seen several Canadian Bullion coins that have a similar Superman theme to them. The "S" emblem looks to match the others I have seen as well as the rest of the lettering. So I would call yours authentic. Quote:
it's really Canadian coins or some kind of fiction? Yes it's really Canadian. No it is not a coin. More of a 1 oz silver bullion round. As for the fiction...well they are based on a science fiction series and character so you be the judge. Edited by MontCollector

That is the 2016 $5.00 Silver Bullion S-Shield coin that a third party has colourized. There are dozens of these for sale on ebay in different designs. Here is a photo of what they looked like when originally issued by the mint.  |

Are most of the colorized Canadian coins done by a third party or does the RCM do some as well? Edit: Wanted to comment that some are very well done. I'd consider them true pieces of art. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507Edited by chafemasterj

RCM Doesn't colorize bullion coins. All are done by one or more third parties.

The coins the OP posted have been colorized by a German company.
Technically they are defaced coins,definitely not approved by the mint.
The mint has issued some coloured silver maples, I have a 2001 autumn colored maple.
As far as I know the official colorized coins are done in house by the mint and not coloured by a sub-contractor.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

From what I know, the s dollar coin is probably fake. I don't think the RCM would make a dollar s shield like that. Anyone got pics of the noncouloured version? Edit: Oh wait a second, both are real, just the two lines are third party. Not legal tender however. Defaced coins are no longer legal tender, so it would only be worth metal value.
