Title: [WTS] VERY Collectable Silver Coins
Post by: c0ffer on October 10, 2012, 04:46:04 PM
Hi All,

I have in my possession a few of the following silver coins:

http://www.mint.ca/store/coin/20-fine-silver-commemorative-coin-farewell-to-the-penny-2012-prod1510001

This is the "Farewell to the Penny" $20 silver coin issued but the Canadian Mint as a tribute to the end of the penny. The end of the penny is a step towards an all digital economy so this coin is extra special. As you can see at the website they are sold out (and they went fast!) due to their popularity as a potential collectable.

This coin is made from .9999 fine silver and has a $20 face value as Canadian legal tender.

The ones I have are in their original plastic wrap so they are 100% mint condition, unopened and pristine.

I will accept 4BTC each plus shipping if anyone would like to own one of these truly collectable, historic pieces of coinage.

Feel free to post or PM with questions.

The coins in this series weigh a little under 8 grams.

Obviously these are not purchased for melt value, they're collectables not junk ;)

I'm known for my heavy discounts on gemstones not on precious metals ;)

I will not be disappointed if no one takes any off my hands. I am particularly fond of these coins so I have no problem holding them :D

Obviously, the gov face value is worth more then melt.

Definitely.

Although I can't imagine someone using these in a store, lol, I'd love to be that cashier ;)

This one would be the opposite:
