In my coin shop travels I saw a Canadian coin, it looks silver proof, but with a hologram look. It has a date 2006,
with a $20 denomination. In a black black box, burgundy hard plastic holder. I think the image is the CN tower.


Is this a good coin to purchase? I guess I am asking if it has a good collector value?

Do you mean this coin?

Is it a good buy? It always depends on the price.
at $ 20 sure it is!
at $ 200 no its not. :)

I've seen this coin at a few online vendors at $ 70.

GoldRush58,

One caveat with these coins is that they look far better in pictures. You can get some dramatic effects when using special lighting and various lighting angles. But they look pretty dull with the naked eye...

Will look very nice under the right lighting, as with all hologram finished coin. If you're lucky enough you'll find one on auction closer to spot.
