think it's a very nice coin but the issue price is waay too high for the mintage. Typically RCM proof/commemoratives have a mintage of 6000 to 8 to 10,000 and an issue price of $99CDN (500% of spot) . This coin has an additional 60% to the 500% (or 800% of spot)..Too much even for a 2oz coin. Reasonable price if it was 2oz and had a mintage of say 2500 to 3000 in my mind.

Cheers,
Luker

it's an UHR curve coin. Here's a video of it from local news
