New Canadian Privy Mark Silver Maples for 2009
This year the Royal Canadian Mint has issued several Silver Maple Leaf (SML) coins with Privy Mark commemorations on them. All are limited mintage and struck in pure silver, and we have them all! As the Silver Maple Leaf is the most-collected Canadian coin the world over, and the Privies are the most intriguing of all, we're proud to bring them to you!

London Bridge The latest and greatest is the brand new Year of the Ox Privy Mark Silver Maple! 2009 is the Year of the Ox on the Chinese Lunar Zodiac calendar, and we know many SML collectors have been waiting for this issue for many months.

It is important to note that the mintage limit for the Year of the Ox Privy Mark SML is only 8,000 - tiny by any standard! We hope to have these coins in shortly from the Mint, but we are taking, guaranteeing, and confirming orders now. Get yours in quickly, and feel free to notify other collectors and investors about this extremely low-mintage issue! At under $30 each, they won't last long!

Canada 2009 Tower Bridge of London $5 Privy Mark Silver Maple Leaf

Commemorate London's Legendary Landmark!
London Bridge at nightCommonly 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 turning 115 years old this year, it is still a busy and vital route in central London: it is crossed by over 40,000 people (motorists and pedestrians) every day!

These special Privy Mark Maple Leaf coins are being released only in the European Union. As the official partner of the European issuer (and the Mint's official U.S. distributor), we are proud to offer them to you!

2009 Tower Bridge SML Privy
Tower Bridge Privy Mark
In the second half of the 19th century, increased commercial development in the East End of London led to a requirement for a new river crossing downstream of London Bridge. With its elevated pedestrian walkway, raisable drawbridge, and high style Victorian Neo-Gothic aesthetics, the Tower Bridge was the culmination of these design discussions.

Canada 2009 Fall of the Berlin Wall $5 Brandenburg Gate Privy Mark Silver Maple Leaf

2009 Brandenburg SML Privy
Celebrate Freedom's Finest Hour!
The 2009 Brandenburg Gate Privy Mark Reverse Proof SML commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall. The Berlin Wall's demise is the most obvious symbol of the failure of communism and the West's victory in the Cold War, culminating in Germany's reunification.

The Brandenburg Gate is the civic symbol of Berlin, as well as the closest thing Germany has to a national monument. It is easily one of Europe's most famous and best known landmarks, the Berliner equivalent to Big Ben in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and the Colosseum in Rome. The Brandenburg Gate is inextricably linked to American history, including the Berlin Blockade and Airlift, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy's famous "Ich B
in Ein Berliner" speech, and President Ronald Reagan's remonstrance to the Soviet Union, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this Wall!". Please see the complete article on our web site for much more detail on the Brandenburg Gate's role in history, as well as more photos, too!


A Unique Opportunity2009 Brandenburg Gate Privy
This investment-grade coin was released solely into the German market. We are the only distributor in North America officially authorized by the issuer. Given the presence of the national symbol of Germany on this coin, and its sublime association with history, it is not likely many German collectors will be willing give up their coins! Our offer for the Brandenburg Gate Privy Mark SML therefore Brandenburg Gateconstitutes an unique opportunity - all SML collectors, and all Privy Mark collectors need this coin, very few of which will make the journey across the Atlantic! We've arranged to offer these at a great sale price, but get yours now before the market drives the price northward!



2009 Berlin Wall Silver $1 Fall of the Berlin Wall!
