Is this coin bullion? So, what defines a bullion coin? All the coins left in play (that I see), have the silver fineness on them, and the weight, so that seems like bullion to me. They certainly don't trade at FV. |

I decided that though it trades like bullion, it's legal tender, and this coin was not part of the RCM's official bullion program. I would like to hear other opinions as well. |

So, what defines a bullion coin? Guess that wasn't the best question. I was just trying to take out the 2 that were listed as "Bullion Coinage". I'll try better.  Is this thing a coin, meant for circulation? Edited by Keith67

I say bullion is a physical precious metal investment sold at a slight premium over spot. ($2 over spot last time I grabbed some Maple Leafs)
NCLT is a precious metal rip off with investment in mind, carrying a ridiculous premium over spot. (5X spot often)
Neither meant to be spent. Both can have similar legend, and be the same fineness. But they are different to each other.
Just my 2 loons worth.
Nice coin iggy. Got a story for us...
Is this thing older than 59 years?
