Canada Investment Grade Gold Opportunities

Incredible Investment Gold!
In addition to the Native American Gold Animals (above), we have two more investment gold opportunities that are sure to make your eyes pop!

2011 Canada Nova Scotia Provincial Coat Of Arms $300 Gold ProofHuge, Rare $300 Gold Coat of Arms
The traditional Coat of Arms is a design of heraldic symbols created to represent a monarchy, a clan, a territory or nation. This beautiful, huge (2" diameter!) gold proof features the Coat of Arms for Nova Scotia, the oldest of any province or territory in Canada. The royal lion at the center of the Shield and the crowned unicorn to the left are two more elements from the Royal Arms of Scotland. The Native American warrior to the right of the Shield represents the province’s First Nations peoples.

This coin features a mintage of only 500 worldwide!




2011 Native American Sport - Lacrosse Gold Kilo Proof The Mother of all Gold Proofs!
Sold OutWe're willing to bet that this is one of the most dramatic One Kilogram coins you've ever seen! Minted by the Royal Canadian Mint in pure gold with a face value of 2,500 dollars, this huge and intricately engraved masterwork is struck in ultra high, medallic relief!

The riveting scene of an intense, Native American lacrosse match is highlighted on the huge tableau in full, frosted cameo proof finish- at more than 100 mm in diameter, it is a full 4 inches across! Even better is the investment potential - the total worldwide mintage of 35 (thirty-five) seems impossibly low! Sold out at the Mint on pre-release, this is the ultimate investment - need we say more?

Ordering Note - To order, please call us toll-free (888-552-2646 from anywhere in North America; outside of North America call +1 314-968-3980). This coin is available by special order only. Advance payment by good funds (e.g., wire transfer) is required at time of order. Debit or credit card payment is not accepted.

Availability Note - A quick sell out was expected and has occurred -
obviously, the mintage limit is extraordinarily low (and grossly insufficient to meet worldwide demand). We are currently taking, confirming and guaranteeing orders for this coin now. First come, first served.


Canada 2011 $250 1 Kilogram Lacrosse ProofHuge and Truly Rare Kilogram Proof!
Sold OutWe're willing to bet that this is the one of the most dramatic One Kilogram coins you've ever seen! Minted by the Royal Canadian Mint in pure silver with a face value of 250 dollars, this huge and intricately engraved masterwork is struck in ultra high, medallic relief!

Here's an alternative investment to the Gold Kilo that's affordable and still truly rare - only 600 savvy collectors can ever own this monstrous beauty! Sold out very quickly at the Mint! Get yours while we still have them available!

From a numismatic point of view - this ultra-rarity will be the centerpiece of your collection!



Canada 2011 Holiday Traditions - Pure Silver Proofs with Color

2011 Holiday Traditions Little Skaters $10 Silver Proof with Color Holiday Traditions - Little Skaters!
Delighted children whirling, twirling, spinning under a snowy sky - they sail across the ice alight, with festive joy.

A holly bough with green leaves and red berries sets off the scene.

A sleepy, snow-covered town slumbers in the deep of night. Winter’s first snow has just fallen!

This coin also has a mintage of only 8,000 coins available worldwide. The lovely scene shows a charming rural town slumbering peacefully after winter's first snowfall. Two holly boughs with green leaves and red berries set off the scene.
