The Canadian mint has released 100 dollar silver coins

I guess the cat has officially been let out of the bag.

Oops!

For the first time in the Mint’s history, $100 can buy you a coin worth $100. Take advantage of this astonishing value before the coin sells out.

looks like you can actually spend those as $100 of CRN's ?

pretty coin.

but unless that's a 4 ounce coin, generic 1 ounce rounds are still the way to go.


at least until APMex has a sale on Silver Eagles, 99 cents above spot.

they used to do that, in 2010.

You may have missed the obvoius, what the CM is doing is telling you that 1 once really IS WORTH 100 dollars

[Large Sarge]

they have remonetized silver

the long awaited event has started

the only reason gold has enjoyed such price demand, is because central banks use it as money

this is a big event,

remember how long mexico opposed Hugo Slainas Price from reintroducing a silver coin in mexico, it terrified the local thugs....

On the Silver Doctor website I have predicted ( about a year ago ) that at some point in the future there will be a price for Gold & Silver on American soil & a compleatly different price for gold & silver held off shore which will be much higher than...here.....this will get interesting

one oz of silver is not worth 100 dollars, as strange as this may seem its really just a fiat silver coin.

It's 3/4 fiat. I'll buy one when silver is $100 an ounce or higher. Unless of course you can spend it in Canada and get change for $100 Canadian if you use it. I'd just be loaning the Canadian government about $75 per coin until I spent it. But then, who would take it as payment for anything worth more than the spot price of silver?

Its no different than the $20 for $20 coin show they've been doing. Those are a 1/4 ounce. This one is 31.6g (1 oz. and a tiny bit more) for a hundred. Wonder why its .6 instead of .1? Take away the sexiness of it, you'll get more punch if you buy 5 of the $20's (1 and 1/4 ounces) if thats what floats your boat...........

That's a nice looking coin. I live about 10 miles from the mint. You can take tours there, I may do that this weekend...

notice it says for Canada and U.S. customers, 1 per household



so if I was in china or Russia, I could buy as much as I wanted

[gunDriller]

it would fit in my back pocket.

do they require persons leaving the gift shop to go through a metal detector ?
