USAAbout Me CollectorProsDisplays WellConsBest UsesOlder ChildrenComments about Fine Silver Coin - Ducks of Canada: Wood Duck - Mintage: 10000 (2013):This coin has definitely met my expectations, it exhibits beautiful and accurate coloring on the pair of Wood Ducks with nice detail. With the recent drop in silver prices, I wish the RCM would have issued these "Duck" coins in a larger diameter coin, possibly even a 1 1/2 oz version that would really hit the mark. Other than that, it's a nice example and overall well done by the mint.Was this a gift?:No Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friendImages shared by Bobreverse side Tags: Picture of Product (2 of 2 customers found this review helpful)Was this review helpful?

Checked website everday for months awaiting this coin. Checked the morning of release with no update, then received e mail of new coins. went to site immediately to order only to find they are "awaiting stock". I'm not so naive enough to know this is the mints way of saying your out of luck. P.S. reviewed this the day of issue but Mint neglected to post - i guess they're only interested in positive reaction. Not impressed.Was this a gift?:No Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend (3 of 3 customers found this review helpful)Was this review helpful?

Both this and the 25-cent partner new coins are more attractive than the first one. The mint has listened to the public and beautful coins keep coming out. Just hope the mint did not forget their commitment to issue all other pretty series, not just the popular one.Was this a gift?:Yes Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend (1 of 3 customers found this review helpful)Was this review helpful?
