Description

From 1942 until the late 1960s, Looney Tunes were the most popular animated shorts to be shown in film theaters.  But as the golden era wound down, television would be the one to keep the laughs going by introducing the characters and their (mis)adventures to new generations.  In keeping with the playful nature of Looney Tunes, each coin features a hidden surprise element - look closely.

Special features:

• The use of selective coloring enhances the finely detailed engraving and showcases the playful design.

• Crafted in 99.99% pure silver with limited mintage, this coin makes a beautiful gift!

• Highly detailed engraving, a multi-finish background, and the use of color combine to bring depth and texture to a design that exemplifies the outstanding artistry and craftsmanship for which the Royal Canadian Mint is internationally renowned.

• For our Canadian customers, this coin is GST/HST exempt.

About the Design:

Depicts a scene from the Duck Season/Wabbit Season trilogy of cartoons.  In the foreground, rich coloring brings the black-feathered, orange-billed Daffy Duck to life as he fixes a red bowtie.  Expert engraving is enhanced by the use of multiple finishes, bringing to life the forest setting and the sign to the left of Daffy, which reads “Duck Season/Chasse au canard.”  But trouble looms as an engraved rendering of Elmer Fudd in his hunting clothes can be seen approaching on the right side of the image.

Packaging:

Each coin is encapsulated and shipped in a free gift box, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

“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.
