In their description they say theres a limited mintage to 1million, is this low? and how long will it be before their worth alot more? Also what other coins are great for collection for investment purposes only eg. will fetch highest premiums?
I think they did 3 million grizzlies but only 1 million wolves, cougars, and moose. The wolf already commands a decent premium and the grizzlies are I thonk 3 bucks more than the cougars already. I think its a good set to collect though there is a bit of an issue with milk spots but not as bad as the maples.
I think these are a nice series but the white spots kill it for me unless I can get them a few bucks over spot or figure a way to clean them. i just looked at my grizzlyes and they look like total crap covered in white spots. I would encourage others to look closely at theirs. i have about 40 in total of the bears and cougars and a few wolves and if I look hard i think almost all of them have at least some spots. Hopefully the moose will be better but I wouldnt count on it.
I am collecting this series and expecting my fist tube of Moose in 2 days. Once I have all 6 in the series I might consider selling them as complete sets. What would be nice is a presentation box that fits the coins. Anyone know if there is a box holding 6 Maple sized coins, preferably in fitted Airtite capsules ?

These coins are getting good premiums in short order. After looking at the completed auctions on *bay, I'm a bit surprised to see that the Grizzlies are keeping pace with the 2011 silver Pandas while the Wolf outperforms the Panda. The Canadian $20 silver coins are doing well also, especially the latest Polar Bear version.
Apparently 1 million max for each design. http://www.silvercoinstoday.com/2011-grizzly-silver-coin-second-in-canadian-wildlife-series/103745/
