[Viper_99]

The Royal Canadian Mint has started accepting pre-orders for another batch of new product releases. At this time, the products can only be pre-ordered by Masters Club members, with shipping to begin on May 28, 2012. A number of high precious metals content coins with extremely low mintage are included.



A .9999 fine 5 oz. silver coin will be issued to mark the 100th anniversary of the Calgary Stampede. The mintage of this coin is limited to just 1,500 coins. Pricing is set at $495.95 CAD.



The Royal Canadian Mint will release its first 5 kilogram silver coin featuring ‘The Spirit of Haida Gwaii’ This coin has a diameter of 180 mm and contains 5 kilograms of .9999 pure silver. The mintage is limited to just 100 pieces worldwide, and the coin is shown as “sold out” on the pre-order page.

Remember these coins are for Master Club Members first, then to the public. Some of you may like the low mintage on these coins. Enjoy!

Not a fan of the Calgary stampede coin - as a former Albertan I think it doesn't reflect the feeling of the stampede IMO.

The 5 kg coin is nice - too bad that even as a Master Club member you didn't get a shot to pick one up.

Yeah, it isn't a picture of drunk tourists in cowboy hats smashing up a car at a night club.
