Message:: [QUOTE="ValpoBeginner, post: 3071962, member: 77066"]His  name is Captain Canuck, and unbenkownst to this writer was a Candaian comic book hero beginning in 1975.[ATTACH=full]772030[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]772032[/ATTACH] Canada's Royal Mint has sold over 80% of this $20 Sterling Silver "coin". WAIT A MINUTE.... Ive seen those before..... 1 oz silver bullion bars, right? Not in this case.... Heres why? I apparently didn't know what a coin was until today.  No I didn't look up the word in the Oxford English Dictionary, but instead made an assumption.  I'm much too busy to look up different meanings, of the word "coin." A coin is an item functioning as currency, whether it be Fiat or based on a precious metal; in order to be considered a coin, this item that society agrees is worth a certain amoun is used for purchases and general commerce. In Captain Canucks case, it is quite possibly the highest denomination I've seen on a pure ounce of silver. Furthermore, it may be the only coin, that could one day just possibly, one day be worth more by what it is, a coin with a governmental declaref value written on it, $20.00 CAD. No, dont get me wrong, I'm not being bearish, but just looking at all the possibilities the of the silver futures market to come. For those wondering.... Its cost to consumers is $93.10 USD. MINTAGE 3,500 COINS It's value to the lucky collector with "Candaian National Pride" .... PRICELESS.[/QUOTE]
