RFD collector and numismatic Coins discussion thread

After some digging, I remember reading it. Here is the link to the article and the release dates for the coins.

There will be circulating designs and special designs like the Shannon [ Think the rest are figureheads only though.]

OOoooh, yeah, I grabbed 2x max you can get. :P

I was thinking . LOL, my bed

My bad there's 4 along with the HMS Shannon. Tecumseh, Isaac Brock, Salaberry and Laura Secord. I am hoping they aren't just figureheads, action scenes or a symbol would be tight.

Circulation and special mint ones likely. Does that raises some eyebrows for purchases? lol.

No harm in buying them. You're paying for the actual value and I buy them with my credit card so I get 1.5% cash back.. lol...

Does 171 mean anything?
At least it does not have "4"

[MrDisco]

A Moose and his Turtle

According to wiki, "1" has no meaning, "7" is both lucky and unlucky number. Go figure

No but 4 can be good as well. ie. 148 = eternal wealth.

Don't misunderstanding, number "4" does not mean "Bad" in Chinese. 4 also means 4 season, year long,... so It also mean all year get health, get luck, get money... Depend on which number go with "4"
Also, many Chinese Blessing, Wishing Quotes has "4" in it.
Also. Each person no matterwhat what countries, he or she comes from, has some number that they likes. Let's say, he born in the 4th, or April or 1944....and many more reasons to love a particular number.

Anyone grab one of these? Are they 1/2 oz?

[MrDisco]

Anyone grab one of these? Are they 1/2 oz?

It's in the link:
Mintage 10000
Composition fine silver (99.99% pure)
Finish proof
Weight (g) 15.87 -> ~1/2 troy oz (conversion is mine)
Certificate serialized
Face value 10 dollars

I passed on this. The subject matter isn't of interest and I'ld rather the spend the money on upcoming Perth Mint issues.

[Guy007]

is that 4-6 weeks from now? or 4-6 weeks from now and then a few other round of delays??

Hopefully just the 4-6 weeks from now, the issue is with 'coloured coins only'

In Brazil it's the criminal code article for embezzlement. If someone calls you a 171, they mean you are not trustworthy. Lucky for you there are not many Brazilian coin buyers around :-)
