New Bugs Bunny coin from the Royal Canadian mint

I think it looks awesome and to get a $20 face value coin for $20 with free shipping (Canada and US only), Probably the best one of the collection so far!

I like it but to be honest I'm not sure that I would trust the Canadian mint not to produce a coin that didn't get milk spots

 

looks like Yosemite Sam found some milk spots on his new coin already...

is that a weird mark or milk spot to the right of bugs bunnys finger? cos it doesn't look like part of his cheek.

 

I'm sure we have seen perth mint coins with milk spots haven't we?? Show me ONE rcm numismatic produc with milk spots

 

+1.

 

I think we have some Canadians showing their national pride.
Nothing wrong with that and i concur with their response.
And for the record i actually like the maple leaf design. Simple and looks good imo... but i don't think that i will be buying many, if any, when i restock.

 

20$ for 8 grams of Ag, very expensive. I'd pass

 

That's not really the point, I think.
The point is you're getting a $20 coin for $20 CAD. So the monetary value actually matches what you're paying.
A lot of numismatic coins are a lot higher than the actual coin. Their 1/2 oz. Looney Tune coins are going for about $50 CAD but the coin is labeled at '10 Dollars'
What that really means, I'm not sure. I guess at legal tender, you can use it and still get out what you paid into it. So... yeah..

 

I think this one will be very hard to get hold of for $20 if you live outside North America.

I was collecting the set but it was costing around $25 per coin and then an eBay seller never delivered on a pre order so I kind of gave up.

Wouldn't mind one of these though.

 

Yeah, I think it only works well if you're in Canada. They are manufacturer of the '$20 for $20'.. '$50 for $50' etc, series so it was designed for them.

Heck, even in here in the USA this coin is priced at about $25 US. Obviously not $20 and obviously extremely high for 1/4 oz of silver. But again, that's not the point.

All that aside, I love Looney Tunes and subscribed to their 1/2 oz series and probably gonna get this coin. This a great collector's piece for anyone who loves classic cartoons. I am so glad RCM did this!
