All of our Canadian coins are acquired directly from the Royal Canadian Mint - The counterfeiting of numismatic coins, and the sale of stolen coins, are serious problems for coin collectors and dealers. Unlike many other coin dealers, to protect against these risks, we do not sell 'second-hand' coins. All of our Canadian coins are stored in a climate controlled, smoke-free vault.

A RARITY! This 99.99% pure silver coin celebrated The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. Only 7,473 of these beautiful Ultra High Relief pure silver coins were released by the Royal Canadian Mint, worldwide. They will only become harder to find in the future, and prices on the few minted are likely to continue to rise as demand far exceeds supply.
The featured reverse effigy is struck in the ultra high relief long associated with ancient medallic art. Ultra high relief coins present special challenges both to engraving and striking. Each successful mintage of an ultra high relief coin is a tribute to the skill and craftsmenship of the responsible mint.

“Unsearched” — All of the coins offered in this listing are “unsearched”. Many coin dealers “search” all coins when they are received from the Mint. They "cherry-pick" the best coins. Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc. These graded and certified coins are then sold at higher, premium prices. When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins.
Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered.
Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We often include proof coin photos with the coin slightly tilted to better depict the mirror bright surfaces. However, tilting the coin may resulting one side being slightly out of focus.
Our goal is to provide clear, high definition photos that accurately represent the coin(s) offered in each of our eBay listings. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just stock artwork from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
