Thoughts on the new 2014 1 oz Canadian Howling Wolf? Source: Source: Coming from the Royal Canadian Mint, the Howling Wolf coin is the first of a three coin series in a new annual bullion series featuring the "Call of the Wild". Released as a full 1 ounce, .99999 pure gold coin, the Howling Wolf boasts the highest purity on the retail market today. In tradition with other 2014 RCM coins, the Howling Wolf displays a Security Feature to help confirm the authenticity of the coin. This piece also offers a $200 CAD face value, the highest of any legal tender 1 oz gold bullion coin. It's sells for around $1,300
I said many times that they should have done the CWL series in 1oz gold coins too. Except the Cougar. I like the coin, just not too sure that I want to buy any gold at the moment.
Several sites are stating that the mintage is limited to 2,000 coins. At Gainesville, I was able to add 9,999 of them to the shopping cart. No rush on buying these wolves. James, Gainesville has them for about $1307USD. These are bullion coins, albeit nice ones. Edit for update. Apparently there are proof and bullion versions of this coin. The proof version has a mintage of 2,000 coins and is priced at $2799CA. The bullion version is closer to $1300USD. http://www.mint.ca/store/coin/1-oz.-pure-gold-coin-howling-wolf-mintage-2000-2014-prod1870023
Yea. Limited mintage for the proof, although very pricey. TBH, this coin would be better looking than the royal lunar horses.
um JmBullion is always the cheapest place.. :| & it's by bank wire so you will pay for that to & probably shipping. Jmbullion is free shipping (assuming you aren't paying thousands of dollars). To keep cost as low as possible I just made a bunch of 15oz orders so I didn't have to do bank wire. (Besides uncle sam is on to me ). Hopefully they will drive a brinks truck up my driveway when delivery comes. I will wait till tomorrow to see if prices go down. They are up because of the big christmas purchases over in japan or china. I forget which one it was where everyone buys bullion as christmas gifts. - (just my theory) http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/chinas-gold-demand-remains-robust-after-lunar-new-year-holiday-1435574 - The goal is to have more than fort knox in my laser vault that calls in a strike team if one of the lasers are hit as seen in the movies lol. :|
