Can anyone give me a source for purchasing a 2000 Proof 50 cent "Owl" coin? Any help will be appreciated. See link
Heres a little history about that coin. It is part of the 'Discovering Nature Series' that ran from 1995-2000, of which 6 sets containing 4 diffferent coins were minted. 4 in a bird series, 4 in a baby animal series, 4 in a dog series, 4 in a whale series, 4 in a cat series, and 4 a birds of prey series. The animals depicted are indigenious to Canada. Accordining to page 218 in the 2009 Charlton Catelogue, this is actually a Great Horned Owl, with a set mintage of 123,000. it does have an individual coin price listed at 15 bucks Canadian for a PR67, and 30 for as PR66. Regardless, heres some links below that will help explain it all, and a link of a guy that is selling just that coin, or the complete series. BTW, his price for the complete series is exactly the same as the original release price back in 2000. http://cgi.ebay.com.my/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150309709720&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RCRX_Pr4_PcY_BIN_IT&refitem=150303171069&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=active_view_item&usedrule1=CrossSell_LogicX&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget&_trksid=p284.m184&_trkparms=algo%3DCRX%26its%3DS%252BI%26itu%3DUCI%252BSI%26otn%3D4 http://www.centercoin.com/canadian_royal_mint/2000_canadian_bird_coins.htm
