New Canadian Bison coin is $70.00 + premium over spot!

In my opinion, It doesn't matter. A friend of mine that lives in Canada posted .99999 GOLD yes, (5) 9's GOLD maple leaf and it had spots like the measles. I couldn't believe it. I never thought a almost pure gold coin to have any spots. It's weird.
 
100 CAD = 97.26 USD = 99.45 AUD

Immense price and I don't see anything very special about that coin!

I'd rather buy some collector's rare edition like a Perth Mint Year of the Dragon or something else...

You could buy 3 Kookaburras or almost 4 other "more ordinary" coins...

But I'd go for semi-numismatic: Kookaburras, let's say.

No sir. I saw someone post the bison $100.00 and the top buffalo on the right hand side, Bottom belly of the buffalo had a nice size black spot on it. I had collected the wildlife series but sold them all. Don't want milk spots to occur.

Black spot?? I think it may be the way they took the picture or the lighting and such. Maybe give us a link so we can look at it. These $100 bison are matte finish so if you look at the picture I post, it looks like there are black spots as well.

I never quite understood why the RCM would insist that the problem of spots could only exist on the bullion coins and not the collector coins....wouldn't the planchet cleaning and preparation process be the same (or very similar) for the production of all silver coins, bullion or not?

It is their signature. If there's no milk spot develop on their bullion, it's fake. They should use this slogan for their bullion. They use different machine for the bullion and numismatic coins. Obviously they care more about the numismatic coin because the price of numismatic coins usually have 4 or more time the price of the silver content in the coin.
 
I laugh at all the Aussie RCM haters here! :lol: Let's check what 95 % of last years PM releases are doing.....I would say down 20% across the board. :rolleyes:

Quite happy to have bought a bunch of these,, being the first in the series, they will do well.

over priced? its a bargain - you simply cant lose on this coin.

You pay $100 and you getting a silver coin with a face value of $100. Its still legal tender!

LoL. everyone love to quote that article. That article published almost a year ago (yes, the date on that page is just today Date and NOT the published date). The process has been improved since then and many banks accept them in Canada.

Here's a snippet of how much the first $20 for $20 coin that sold on ebay:

Yeah, none of the numi coins will ever have milk spots.

Anyone looking for some of these buffalo--have unlimited quantity--shoot me a PM :)
