No question, lovely coin! However, the ultra high premium I think meets the legal definition of rape in more than a few states in the USA! Not sure about Maple Leaf Land.

Ok, I get that the coin will be a very rare item at a minting of 200. But this isn’t a numismatic coin, right? It’s value is and always will be largely based on the gold bullion content, not scarcity. Moreover, the investment due to the large premium and 5 oz. gold content will be condemned to languish at the sluggish end of the precious metal coin liquidity pool forever. I mean, how many bidders on Ebay can you get to conclude a quick, profitable auction for this thing?

Way too high over the price of gold for me.

I’d be buying one right now instead of typing this had it not been for the price.

I’d potentially be interested in one of these, since they are such a cool thing. Worth owning and being proud of. PLus the design is great, and it is a good looking coin.

But at $1,900 per ounce? Ouch! That’s WAY too expensive.

I wish they made 2,000 coins instead of 200 and were willing to sell tham at $1,400 per ounce instead of $1,900 per ounce. Yes I’m interested, but I don’t see the value going up when it starts at $1,900 per ounce.

Gorgeous coin. I’d like to see the Canadian mint try 2, 5, and 10oz silver as well. I’ve lost faith in the US Mint to produce anything interesting and/or beautiful.

I’ll never be able to afford this, but it sure looks sweet. =)
