Tom –
This is a very beautiful coin, picture does not do it justice. To my surprise, mine actually came with an elegant display case and a certificate of authenticity from the mint. I’ll be purchasing more of these commemorative Canadian gold coins at a small fraction over spot.
The interesting aspect about this coin is that it contains .2500 ounce of pure 999 gold, the coin is heavier than that, why? Because according to the COA, it also contains 999 pure silver. It was an added value bonus that was a very plesant surprise.
I have to say that dealing with APMEX has been a joy, they’ve been very good so far.
