Comments about Royal Canadian Mint $500 Pure Gold Coin - 100th Anniversary of the First Canadian Gold Coins (2012):

I much liked one side of the coin with the emblem and maple leaves being fine and detailed but the effigy of George V was a big dissapoitment with it's
washed out look and lack of detail.At the price I am
paying I expected better.

Comments about Royal Canadian Mint $500 Pure Gold Coin - 100th Anniversary of the First Canadian Gold Coins (2012):

The best coin I have ever had. The design and work are museum quality, so big, shiny, detail, and outstanding. The coin presents a lot better than the picture shows. I am so glad that I made the purchase.

Would have been nice to see a set of $50, $100, $300 that would have made smaller values more affordable to the average collector.

Comments about Royal Canadian Mint $500 Pure Gold Coin - 100th Anniversary of the First Canadian Gold Coins (2012):

When first advertised I knew had to get one. [@] has a US price of [$] (also had the 25c Cougar proof gold for $72.95). With US $ almost at par, makes sense to buy in the US. Makes the premium over bullion not unreasonable. Quality is tremendous. Mintage limit of 200 is also attractive.

I like this coin very much. I wish to have it, the price is good, however not too many people can afford to get 5oz coin. I wish it to be in 1 0z to make it more affordable for regular customer
