    Obverse and reverse have been redesigned for security and I reckon they'e done a nice job.

    No doubt the subject of milk-spots will now consume the thread...

    Of course. It doest matter much how nice they look when they get all the milkspots, then they will look like crap anyway. I never bye anything from RCM because of that.

    I wonder if the price will go up because of the additional costs to manufacture them.

    I might just get a couple even though I am not much of a fan. The Queen's Head still looks odd, maybe I am just used to seeing the one on the Australian and UK money. The Maple Leaf side looks decent enough though.

    Wow. Should be tough to fake a maple now.

    First milkspots and now the security feature !

    RCM have really outdid themselves this time around.

    But honestly, I'll get a tube of these for sure.

    Oh wow, didn't know about the "fingerprint" radial designs.

    This coin should be the one to watch.

    Just Wow! I think this is unfakable. Light years ahead of Chinese fakers.

    I'll buy a tube, when I have spare monies that is, he-he.

    Would be really awesome if they could do the same for the gold coin (radial design).

    I like innovative technology on coins. I am not a fan of maple leaf coins but I could buy a coin made this way :)

    Not sure why anyone would ever choose a bog-standard Maple to fake.
    Bullion Maples are little more exciting than blanks.
    Added security features are always a good thing however but will it add a premium ?
    Time will tell if the dreaded milk spots and stains are a thing of the past with RCM silver.

    Dont worry about the security feature measure. The spot is the security why bother?

    Is the one in the first pic coloured or bronze-gilded (not sure of the right tech term)?

    Neither. It's just a feature image for the news post.

    The milk spots develop over time. Check in a few years!
