Hey everybody!      Hope your all having a great day and that all our YN's are having fun at the live auction!  I'd like to share with you one of the first coins I bought for my collection way back in 2007.  This was a huge leap as I was a newbie collector and we're talking  gold..    But I dived in and bought my first gold coin!  This is from the Royal Canadian Mint.  A 2007  1oz. Canadian Gold Maple Leaf $200 Dollar Coin.  It's also encased in a Assay holder which is kinda cool.  This coin weighs 31.15 grams of .99999 of pure gold and has a diameter of 30 mm.  The obverse shows Queen Elizabeth ll along with "200 Dollars" and "2007".  The reverse is a multi-maple leaf design as well as the inscriptions "CANADA" along with weight, purity and metal.  It also had a low mintage of 30,848.    Its kinda rainy out here in the desert today.   So I decided to look through my coin vault...  Rainy day activities...Right...   haha    Which leads up to this coin.  I hadn't looked at it for a long time and thought this is the perfect coin for a blog today!   A bright ray of golden sunshine on a cloudy day...  I hope you enjoy it too.    Comments are always welcomed.

Wolves...What's not to love!  This is a 2017  $30 Fine Silver Coin from The Royal Canadian Mint.   A diameter of 50 millimeters and weight of 2 troy ounces. The artist of this wolf is Jori van der Linde. This style combines multiple abstract patterns in an intricate design within the wolf itself. The obverse designed by Susanna Blunt of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.  It has a mintage of 4000 and a beautiful Proof finish! I hope you can see all the detail of this coin in my photo's, it's really an amazing piece!
