I have to wonder if there's any profit in these from their standpoint. One year of tech development is a lot of time. Pretty but out of my price range.
The purity of the silver is stated but the grade of the diamond isn't. There can be a huge difference in value from one to another. I thought the same and also wondered which will be the first TPG to grade the stones.
"...the RCM has no boundaries in terms of what they can use as a source of inspiration for minting." And no shame in terms of what they will use.
Just for fun, after reading this post I went to the Canadian Mint site just to look around, The diamond coin is sold out. I found it interesting to see the variety of stuff they have. The 'Ladybug" coin was interesting with a Ladybug made of garnets and black sapphires on it. Saw one thing I would consider buying.
