Is it just me but does the cougar on the new Canadian coin look like it was the winner in a kindergarten art contest?

no that is a platinum coin, which I think looks great, not sure how to post pics here, but they have the 1 oz cougar on apmex, and Franklin, the op, is right, this coin is horrible, the legs look like they are from a T-rex, and the worst part is the wolf, and grizzly were amazing, and then this coin, hopefully #4 is alot better

You talking about the standard one ounce bullion with the open mouthed cat kinda jumping out towards you? It is a little goofy, but I like it.

Cmon, it's not that bad! I actually like it and love the rest in the series so far. If anyone really doesn't like it you can PM me and I'll give you around melt! :D

I would say they are raptor legs... T-rex was much bigger. I think the Liger is next in the series followed by the ferocious unicorn with frog legs.

It looks like it is standing upright. Is it a native hunter wearing a skin??

That is exactly what I thought. It's just not a great coin, mainly because it's forearms look so weird. That platinum coin is awesome- they should have used that for the silver design. I did buy a few just to keep my sets going, but I haven't bought any extras like I did with the wolf and grizzly. Overall it's still a great series. Does anyone know what the next in the series will be?
