<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WhispTech, post: 281212, member: 1565&quot;]Been awhile since I posted a coin I have bought but its due to the lack of anything that has caught my eye in detail and artwork in my opinion.&nbsp; Lot of the Canadian coins of late have just been garbage.&nbsp; Anyways finaly they brought out one that I liked personally which is the $4 dinosaur series that they will be doing over the next 4 years (1 a year).&nbsp; This years one (2007) is a Parasaurolophus fossil.&nbsp; According to my friend you can actually go see this in Alberta and that the slab of rock is protected by glass or some type of protective surface and you can touch it and such.&nbsp; Anyways about the coin.&nbsp; Its 99.99% pure silver at a weight of 15.87g proof coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the first time I have seen them use this technique of tarnishing the silver to get a background and because of this method every single coin is unique.&nbsp; Not one is alike. The Canadian Mint calls it a selective aging method.&nbsp; In my opinion it looks very nice and its been awhile since a coin has poped out and caught my eye since the etched maple leaf coin (which I showed you guys way back <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ).&nbsp; Can&#039;t wait to see what they bring out for the next years but I am hoping a triceratops one of the years since thats my favourite dino.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Attached a picture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
