From the reviews:

"First off, this coin is nowhere near as an investment. At close to 8 grams (0.258ozt), its silver value using the siver maple leaf as a guide: roughly $8.75. Flipping it may also be not as worthwhile, as there are 250,000 of them. "

This is obviously not being sold just for it's silver value. Who cares what the reviewer says? I could go there and write a review saying that it's the best piece of silver in the world... This reviewer makes 250K sound like a lot, which as far as coin production goes, IMO it isn't. This is the same number as the wildlife series, in case you haven't noticed that 1oz silver wolf is listed in the $65-$70 range on APMEX and Provident.

If you want to strictly invest in silver bullion value, go buy a bar.

1/4 toz for $20 + $12.95 shipping is not a "no brainer". It takes a brain developed in a certain way, to choose to buy that far above spot.

No, with free shipping it's a no-brainer. That's why he gave the free-ship codes.

Is there a US code yet?

Its $20 for $6 worth of silver. And the $20 face value is really only relevant if you live in Canada.

The others in the $20 face-value line sell for around $30 each though so thus far they have been very solid deals.

Sorry I brought it up.... I should have said it was just one mans opinion. think Ill keep things to myself in the future.

Listen, I collect them because I like them. Being I can pay $20 get a coin that is worth $20 plus some silver in the deal is fine with me. Has anybody looked at the exchange rate between the two currencies. The Canadian dollar is for the first time, trading slightly more than the US dollar. Now with Canada being flush with precious metals, oil and yes water as resources. Look for the Canadian dollar to surpass the Washington in a big way. IMHO. Digginforcopper if you are looking for what is collectable. Look at the Royal Canadian Mints 2011 $10 "Maple Leaf Forever" coin. It sells for $35, has twice the AG content and it has a mintage of 100,000. Which I believe is a true sleeper. And the coin ain't bad to look at either.

Yea Canadian banks for some reason are being rated the safest in the world right now. Maybe it's because they don't have as much control over their politicians.

Thank you for telling us about this diggin. It's a shame can't get the free shipping to US or be getting these every time.

The $13 shipping is stiff, but lets say you add an additional item. Like along the lines of a "Maple Leaf Forever" coin either 2011 or 2012 year date. If you get the full complement of three of the $20 "Queen's Silver Jubilee" coins. Spread that $13 over four items brings your cost of shipping down to $3.25 per. A little more tolerable, I think. Yes free shipping is preferred. But do you wait for that US code that might work or might not work? And loss out on this opportunity.I see that the exchange rate is working in the favor of the Canadians. I will have to pay $20.39 per coin.

Cheap experimental commemorative, limited run and mintage. For sure you can buy the three limit every time, complete three sets eventually, then sell two sets and get a set for free. Don't worry if some guys are not into these, they seem like a rip, but in the land of high PM prices, these are affordable nice looking coins that carry an interesting guarantee. Disclaimer: I'm buying these too, and they are .999, like a bar, but still a cheap way to get into some neat little commemoratives. Also true, you can flip these for nearly double right after you get them as well, and some guys were of course signing up with multiple accounts because of the greed. All in all, besides people like that changing the dynamic, these are incredibly popular, sure selling 250 thousand in 25 days is nothing to brag about, the RCM still brags about it.

After you use a free shipping code, look to the lower left at checkout to change to free lettermail shipping. Be sure to sign up for the subscription and set it to 3 for the next coin. They will autoship it to you.

Ignore them, lots of folks like these. Even made a bit on them.

If the US mint did this, Id happily have a few thousand in them instead of paper...

Thanks, especially for the promo code, all the previous times there was either tax or
shipping. (At least for MB, there was PST when they offered the very 1st one in the series.)

My account was charged this morning....so I am assuming the Diamond Jubilee's are on their way.

I ordered as I like them the art work in my opinion is really good on all of them in the series.
