Canada 2012 Leaning Tower of Pisa $5 Privy Mark Silver Maple Leaf

2012 Tower of Pisa SML PrivyGreat European Landmarks Series #3
Sold OutThis is no ordinary Silver Maple Leaf - this is a special edition, privy marked Silver Maple! It was issued in Europe only, and has the extremely lowNew! mintage limit of only 50,000! (In 2010, the Royal Canadian Mint struck nearly 18 million standard edition silver maples!) Such was the demand for this coin by the Europeans that it was sold out at the Mint on pre-release!

Leaning Tower of PisaCertainly, there are not enough to go around, but fortunately, we have secured a limited supply of this highly collectible, pure silver gem. Consider also that is it part of an ongoing series commemorating the Great Landmarks and Monuments of Europe! Finally, remember that all Silver Maple Leaf (SML) collectors (and all Privy Mark collectors) need this coin! We heartily recommend this low-mintage Silver Maple Leaf issue as a bankable buy-and-hold.

Leaning Tower of Pisa Privy Mark
The Leaning Tower of Pisa (Torre pendente di Pisa) is the freestanding bell tower of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa. It is situated behind the Cathedral. Despite the Tower's great age, it is only the third oldest structure in Pisa's Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo) after the Cathedral and the Baptistery. Famous for its lean, which in 1990 had grown to a 5.5 degree angle, it has now been stabilized at 4 degrees from vertical by using 800 tons of lead weights!

2009 Brandenburg Gate SML PrivyBrandenburg Gate - #1 in Series!
Sold OutThe Brandenburg Gate (known in German as Brandenburger Tor) is the civic symbol of Berlin, located in the heart of the city center (one block from the Reichstag), and the closest thing Germany has to a national symbol (with the possible exception of Oktoberfest!). It is easily one of Europe's most famous and best known monuments, the Berliner equivalent to Big Ben in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and the Colosseum in Rome.

2009 Tower Bridge SML PrivyLondon Tower Bridge - #2 in Series!
Sold OutCommonly referred to as "London Bridge" (even though that bridge is the next one upstream on the Thames), the Tower Bridge is one of London's most recognizable and charming landmarks. Despite being over 115 years old, it is still a busy and vital route in central London: it is crossed by over 40,000 people every day!






Canada 2011 Wildlife Series - Endangered Species - Great Grizzly $5 Silver Maple

2012 Wildlife Cougar $5 Silver Maple Leaf2011 Carnivorous Cougar $5 Silver
Sold OutThis brand new Cougar, third in the Wildlife Series, is one of the most highly anticipated coins in recent memory! We have been inundated with requests for the Cougar since the Mint pre-announced it! New!Well, the wait is over - the Mint has finally released the Cougar, and we have them available in single form, or get them in rolls of 25 at a great price! The design and engraving are outstanding - the animal's portrait is realistic and lifelike. Perhaps most significantly, the Mint is already sold out on pre-release, and our supply is limited, too!

Cougar PortraitThe Cougar SML is important for several reasons:
• It's struck in the purest silver minted in the world - the Canadian Mint issues one ounce 99.99% pure silver coins!
• Silver represents real, tangible assets, with real scarcity in the market (unlike paper 
money, which can be printed at will!).
• It's part of a new series of Wildlife coins that are the hottest silver coins in years! Small mintage limits mean sold out coins, and sold out coins mean supply and demand will drive prices up!
• With three more issues remaining, how hard will it be to find the Cougar a year or two down the road?

Hurry! Get the new Silver Cougar now at our introductory sale prices while you can!

Click to see this most impressive collection on our website!

Sold Out The Komplete Kookaburra Kollection - all 23 issues (including the new 2012), each with a unique design, including the 1999 with the P100 mint mark, celebrating the centennial of the Perth Mint. All are in pristine, mint condition, in capsules for protection.

World Money Fair Coin Show Special - First Ever Koala with Privy Mark!

Australia 2011 Koala 1 Ounce Silver with Berlin Bear Privy MarkBerlin Privy Mark Koala Back In Stock! Sold Out(For a limited time, no doubt!)

This is no ordinary Silver Koala - this is the FIRST EVER privy marked koala! The privy mark takes the form of the city of Berlin Coat of Arms, a heraldic bear rampant on a shield, forming a "Bear on Bear" design! (It's no secret that privy marked issues are highly collectible!)

In addition, this unique coin was issued as a coin show special at the World Money Fair (WMF) in Berlin, meaning that the vast majority were sold into the European market, 
and won't be coming out any time soon!

Berlin Coat of ArmsAdding to the investment appeal of this unique release is the extremely low mintage limit of only 50,000. This is only 10% of the mintage limit of the 2011 Kookaburra 1 Ounce Silver coin (and that coin will sell out at that level). We readily recommend this special Koala as a bankable buy-and-hold.

The Berlin Coat of Arms
The special World Money Fair edition Koala features a privy mark above the two koalas on the coin. This mark shows the coat of arms of the German city of Berlin, including a rampant heraldic bear on a shield. Get this first-ever Koala privy mark at our sale price - or stock up and save with original mint rolls of 20 coins at a significant discount! All coins are fully encapsulated, even in the rolls!
