Let's Start the New Year off Right! The Royal Canadian Mint has just announced their new 2011 annual releases! The new coins and sets include many familiar and traditional items, such as the mint set, specimen set, and double-dollar silver proof set, as well as the ever-popular annual silver dollars! 
In a surprise announcement, the Mint is releasing the annual 1/25 ounce "Smallest Gold"
proof much earlier than ever before! This new fractional features a
flock of Canada Geese, Even more shocking is the mintage limit - only 10,000, the lowest by far in this series! Get it now, before it migrates elsewhere!There are also three new entries into the $100, $200 and $300 gold coin series, plus some great gift sets and cards that are perfect for every occasion. Each gift card and set contains a unique quarter, found nowhere else. We can't decide if it's fun or bizarre (probably both), but new this year is a Tooth Fair quarter - you have to see this one to believe it! From animals to history, from silver to gold, there's a wealth of themes and metals to choose from. There's literally something for everyone here, from collectors to casual gift-givers (nothing beats the gift of money!). We've kept the text to a minimum, so just click on any picture for a full description and more photos on our web site!  The coins and sets include many familiar
and
traditional
items,
such as:• The ever-popular Annual Silver Dollars - this year featuring the 100th Anniversary of Canada's National Parks! • 7-coin Uncirculated Mint Set and Specimen Set (with Grey Owl $1)! • The stunning Double Dollar Silver Proof Set (with Canada Parks Proof Silver Dollar, plated in 24-K gold)! • The annual Oh! Canada, Wedding, Birthday and New Baby gift sets! • The new and ultra-affordable Tooth Fairy Quarter Gift Card! • This year's 1/25 Ounce Gold Proof - featuring Canada Geese! Low Mintage Investment Grade Gold Proofs Nervous about the falling value of the U.S. dollar internationally and erosion of financial confidence here at home? Park your cash in low mintage collector gold - which offers the dual benefits of wealth retention (due to high precious metal content) coupled with potential for growth and appreciation over time (resulting from low mintages, themes and collector pressures)! • The low mintage $100 Dorchester Railroad Engine & $200 Shipping Trade gold proofs! ($200 Gold Proof has laser-engraved "Black Gold" steam from the ship's smokestack!) • The Manitoba $300 Coat of Arms gold proof - mintage only 500! • Last, but far from least is the Royal Canadian Mint Refinery Centenary Gold Proof Set! This elite Gold Proof Set with four Gold Maple Leaf coins and an exclusive medal is for the true connoisseur, with a total mintage of only 750! Did we mention it sold out at the Mint on pre-release (but we still have it at a below-issue price)? Investment Note - This year the Royal Canadian Mint has reduced the mintage limits on many of these new releases, some are drastically lower! Be sure to take advantage of this exciting investment opportunity! Availability Note - These new releases were just announced by the Mint. We are currently taking, guaranteeing and confirming orders now. We expect to begin shipping in January, as soon as items are available. Thank you in advance for your patience! |

 7-Coin
Uncirculated Mint SetAs you may already know, only specially-struck, individually-selected coins are put into the Canadian Mint Sets. All are minted on a special line, and none bounce around a hopper or are bagged, so all have a fresh appearance and pristine, mark-free surfaces. Each set contains coins of national significance - from the polar bear, to the beaver, caribou, loon, maple leaf, coat of arms and Bluenose schooner! Continuing This Tear - A phenomenally attractive, full-color package - the same size and shape as previous years, to ensure continuity and collectibility!  7-Coin
Specimen Setwith Great Grey Owl Dollar An unique finish, low mintage limit and the unique Great Grey Owl dollar (found only here!) make for an incomparable set!

Instead, we get treated to this fey, fetching sprite, a delicate yet curvaceous lass. She can have our loose tooth any day! We need to note, this is an all-purpose fairy - the coin itself depicts a winsome, flying pixie spreading magic dust and says, "Fairy Wishes", with no specific reference to the tooth fairy.

2011 Flock of Geese 50 Cents 1/25 Ounce Pure Gold Proof
|
||
 Flock of Geese Gold ProofThis pure gold coin features a flock of Canada Geese – arguably the best known goose species in North America. Its black head and neck with white "chinstrap" distinguish it from most other goose species, and its distinctive honking call is a true sign of spring and autumn for those living under its migratory flight path. Along with the beaver, the maple leaf, and the Mountie, the Canada goose is considered one of the national icons of Canada! The "smallest gold" issues have been best sellers year after year. This is the eighth in the smallest gold coin series issued by the Royal Canadian Mint. New This Year - Lowest mintage limit ever for this series - only 10,000! We recommend this as a buy-and-hold investment and predict a fast sell-out. |

 Canada's First Railroad Engine - the Dorchester 0-4-0 Locomotive $100 GoldThe story of Canada’s coast-to-coast railway, a gargantuan feat of engineering, was the culmination of a 49-year long romance with the iron road that began with Canada’s first public railway in 1836. Superior sculpting captures the excitement of the early railway in exquisite detail and makes this low-mintage gold proof a must-have work of art! New this year - Lowest mintage limit ever for this series - only 3,000! (That's 2,000 less than last year!) We recommend this as a buy-and-hold investment and predict a fast sell-out.  Shipping Trade $200 Gold ProofWe
don't give it even a passing thought, but on a daily basis we wear,
drive and use goods from all over the world - all brought to us
courtesy of the shipping trade! The engine of international commerce
has relied on ships and the sea to bring products to market since
ancient times.
Canada is no exception to this, so it was a landmark in its commercial growth when the Hudson's Bay Company commissioned the first Canadian steamship, the S.S. Beaver. On this gold gem, handcrafted artistry and cutting-edge craftsmanship ensure ultra-crisp definition and relief. Laser technology that makes the steam shimmer in black and the high $200 face value make this low-mintage gold proof a must-have work of art!  New this year - Lowest mintage limit ever for this series - only 2,800! (That's 1,200 less than last year!) We recommend this as a buy-and-hold investment and predict a fast sell-out.  Manitoba Provincial Coat of Arms$300 Gold Proof This huge (2 inch diameter) and truly rare (mintage 500!) gold proof is the seventh in the Provincial Coat of Arms Series! Investment Note This jaw-dropping gold beauty has a high $300 face value, a tiny mintage limit of just 500 worldwide, and contains over one and one-eighth ounces of gold. We are actively recommending this coin as a great long-term buy-and-hold. |
