Canadian Wildlife Series - What's next?

Do you know that Silver Foxes are actually a color variation of the "Red" Fox? Just like how Yellow Labradors, Chocolate and Black Labs are all the same dog, Red, Siver, Cross, Pearl, Marble, Burgundy, and a few other color variations are ALL Red Foxes.

Well it looks like these came and went on Provident Metals, sold out before I even got a chance to try to get one! I don't see any on APMEX yet. Does anybody know anywhere else that has the cougars?

 

I don't think they have even been released yet, as noone is selling them on ebay and someone would surely be doing that trying to make a quick buck. Given the fact the cougar is the ugliest design of the group so far, I don't think you will have to work very hard to get 1 of these once they become available.

 

Talisman Coins still has the wolf and the grizzly coins.

 

Cool site, I hadn't seen this before. A little overpriced, but they have a lot of coins you can't find anywhere else.

I was hoping to find some cougars as I already have as many timberwolf and grizzly coins as I want. Provident Metals had them listed as "Coming Soon", but yesterday it changed to "Out of Stock", and now today it says "Coming Soon" again so maybe it was just a fluke. I figured APMEX should have them when available so I'm still keeping my eyes peeled.

Where to buy?

BUY AT Westministermint.com. They had the best prices on the first 2 in raw,roll, and ANACS graded!! By the way, the third coin is COUGAR! I think they go on sale around the 15th of September. No clue on the price yet!

 

Hey Drago,
As I said before,RCM won't announce any of the 6 ahead of time! So other Than the Timber Wolf, Grizzly Bear, and Cougar your guess is as good as any on the Fox. I'm betting on #4-Either the Moose or Elk, #5- Canadian Goose, #6 -Beaver. SORRY I love Foxes too BUT I think this will be the BIG 6!!

 

"I think Sasquatch might be a good choice. I would buy it."


So would I!

For some reason, I think the remaining Canadian coins of this series will not have the goose, beaver, etc. The first three are basically endangered or vanishing species in Canada, as well as ones that resonate with collectors (liking the animal), so I think the remainder will follow the same. They also are somewhat large animals and all mammals. I think this series will remain true to the first 3. Maybe polar bear, lynx, and fox to complete.
