Those are really awesome. I wish I could afford to get one of those plus I saw another one with a different medal over there. Would love to have both of those. Maybe someday, if there are any left.
I think maybe I was looking at something different. However, either way, Canada makes some of the coolest coins.

What does Abyss mean when (s)he talks about ones with enamel? The bank gave me two mint rolls of bravery quarters when I was getting quarters to search (no luck with the searching). I was looking at prices for these on ebay and there was one graded ms-65 that sold for about 35 CAD. Some mint rolls of these coins sold for a bit under 2x face. Would it be uncommon to find coins that would grade this high in mint rolls? Was the high bidder on this one just crazy? Also, how much would the seller have paid for the grading (done by ICCS in this case)? |

There are 4 different 2006 Medal of Bravery coins. They all feature a depiction of the Medal of Bravery, which includes a maple leaf surrounded by a wreath of laurel, and pay tribute to everyday Canadians who risk their lives to save or protect others. They also all have the portrait of the Queen on the obverse, with the Royal Canadian Mint mark. - The Medal of Bravery Silver Proof 1 dollar coin (99.99% silver, and the nicest of the 4, in my opinion. Mintage of 20,000) - The Medal of Bravery Silver Proof 1 dollar coin with enamel (the same 99.99% silver, with red enamel. Mintage of 5,000, sold out right away at the Mint, still available from quality dealers...) - The Medal of Bravery Official First Day 25 Cents Coin (three-ply nickel finish plated steel coin, 5,000 individually-numbered folders) - The Medal of Bravery Circulation 25 Cents Coin (three-ply nickel finish plated steel coin) |

Another question, were the bravery circulation quarters only made with the RCM mintmark, or do some have a "P" mark instead like certain 2006 coins? |
