Then I completely understand also. I live in a small village with hardly any collectibles books available. Your phone is good enough. But please...
I can't enlarge the obverse. Is it clad or silver? The pic makes it look like silver.
I wonder if Elemental has any animals? They do some beautiful 2 ounce rounds. I have Cleopatra and the Pirate issues.
Ahhh, so I bet you told them you'd send down one of Cuomo's body guards to rattle their brains if they did not do this for you.;)
World Wildlife is a nice theme and it does not pidgeon hole you into one animal. I don't have any pics to share but I love the Birds Of Prey...

And Kentucky's answer also brings us back to the research topic. If someone claimed this really came from the Mint like this or was some form of...

The dread of it...I have a Tupperware container full of these and have been procrastinating forever.
@BooksB4Coins I have no idea who or what this CT'er is all about but at least YOU did some homework on it and that's more than I can say for a lot...
99.999 % of the time I agree with paddy and when I'm not sure I just pass. But, considering the Mint has never really cured it's problem with...
