It doesn't matter if you're a fan or not, when you think classic science-fiction, you think of Star Trek. Debuting back in 1966 and continuing for three seasons, the original Star Trek series has rightly taken its place as one of the finest, and most groundbreaking sci-fi series of all time. It was to be a [...]
We can always rely on the Royal Canadian Mint to give us a lot to look at (and write about...) every month, and May is no exception with a huge mix of gold and silver commemoratives. We're going to split them into two posts and this is the first. There are some great coins here. On [...]
The Royal Canadian Mint has just launched the eighth coin in its $100 for $100 series, a series that debuted back in 2013 and which has attracted much interest and success. Struck in approx one troy ounce of fine 0.9999 silver, each of the coins to date has depicted an animal from Canada, one of a [...]
Always having multiple subscription series on the go at any one time, no mint uses this way of selling coins as much as the Royal Canadian Mint does. It's a decent idea as long as the collector wants the whole set. The mint gets a good indicator of what collectors are looking for as subscriptions tend [...]
After the launch of a wide range of Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice movie coins a few days ago, the Royal Canadian Mint have now released the rest of their months output.

A series that bullion collectors have no doubt been waiting for with baited breath after the completion of the Birds of Prey silver bullion programme, the Royal Canadian Mint have taken the wraps off their new silver series. Called Predator, the four-coin series will likely be launched on a two-coins per year basis (TBC), and has [...]
With domed coins being one of the huge success stories of the last couple of years, and with the skillset required to strike them well working its way around the industry, it's obvious that many of the big players that have yet to join the party will do so. The biggest mint to jump on board [...]
The Royal Canadian Mint have done more to popularise the face value selling commemorative coin than just about anybody else, and case in point, this is the 19th release in their $20 for $20 series alone. First debuting in 2011, the series has traditionally featured strongly Canadian themes, but recently has veered off into some pop [...]
Another of those unusual weight silver bullion coins has launched and it's the second in the Royal Canadian Mint's Howling Wolf series of ¾oz coins. Like the first coin released in 2015, this one is exclusive to APMEX, a huge US-based coin/bullion dealer. Continuing on with a design that's a mix between the radial [...]
