The Royal Canadian Mint announced the most recent coin in its Canadian Wildlife Series, the 2012 One Ounce Canadian Silver Moose in brilliant, uncirculated condition! Collectors and investors around the world eagerly await each issue, in part because of its limited release of only 1 million coins. In addition, each coin is produced in one Troy ounce of .9999 fine silver bullion. In fact, these coins are among the purest bullion coins available today. The 2012 Silver Moose follows a tradition of excellence in showcasing Canada’s breathtaking wildlife. The series began with the 2011 Silver Timber Wolf and the 2011 Silver Grizzly. In 2012, the Silver Cougar was introduced. Following the 2012 Silver Moose, only two designs remain to be released before the Wildlife Series will conclude. Because of their limited release, these coins enjoy a high premium from collectors around the world. Bearing a denomination of $5, they can serve as legal tender, but their intrinsic value in silver bullion and collectability dwarfs their face value. The Royal Canadian Mint has achieved respect for its production excellence due to several important accomplishments. The RCM produced the first .9999 gold coin as well as the largest .99999 gold bullion coin. The first gold coin to enjoy direct laser etching was their $100 Gold Leduc Oil Fields coin in 2002, and in 2006, they offered the first Canadian coin to be solely sculpted using computer software. Their high-tech achievements combined with their superb artisans make the 2012 Canadian Silver Moose yet another fine coin that is likely to increase in value in the years to come.
The reverse design of the Canadian Silver Moose is just as majestic as its predecessors. The moose’s mature set of antlers fills the top of the coin as he gazes toward the west in his natural habitat. The reverse design is also labeled with the words “CANADA” at the top and “9999 FINE SILVER ONE OZ ARGENT PUR.” For some perspective on what makes these coins so valuable, consider the following five factors. First, the 2012 Canadian Silver Moose is the fourth coin in a 6-coin series that is set to retire after only two more designs. Second, the Silver Moose has been sculpted by the Royal Canadian Mint’s Senior Engraver, William Woodruff, to the exacting standards one would expect from the RCM. Third, they are a limited release coin. Their maximum mintage is only one million coins, making them 30 times more rare than the beloved American Silver Eagle. Fourth, their silver bullion content is more pure than a Silver Eagle with .9999 fine silver, and they enjoy a legal tender face value five times that of a the Silver Eagle, as well. Finally, the past issues have a proven track record of being highly prized by buyers and collectors worldwide. Therefore, we are confident that our investors and collectors will appreciate the 2012 Canadian Silver Moose as much as they have enjoyed its predecessors.

Mine had a few scratches on the face of the Queen but nothing serious. Probably just from the tubes they come from, still nice and you should buy just in case the demand goes up for it."

The coin is nice. Its Canadian silver. What else can I say about it.
As for Provident, this is my fifth transaction. And all have been flawless. I don’t go to the stores anymore, and I rarely even look at other sites. Maybe that’s bad but I am very happy to be a Provident customer.
Thank you.

Hey, how can you go wrong with The Royal Canadian Mint?
"
I have the first 5 of this 6 coin set. This is the best one so far. Dont know what the last coin in the set will be but this is my favorit!
"
This might be the best coin out of the order I received. Really impressed with it’s condition, and most certainly will be ordering from you all again in the near future, and long future to come. Thanks Provident. You’ve given me a big trust in assets.
"
These coins are downright gorgeous! Got delivery in three days.
"
Near perfect quality with not one spot. Shipping speed surprised me even though I’m used to fast shipping with them. Have bought many many times without a single complaint period on their part.
"
I’ve worked with other bullion companies.
Provident has the best prices and service of all of them.
I’ve worked with Kate and she is great about helping you place an order. My coins arrived timely and very well packaged.
This is a nice coin. The quality is there and the coin should appreciate over time.
"
Canada really knows how to make nice coins, and they’re so affordable. And this Moose is way prettier than silver eagles and better bang for your buck.
.9999 silver is nice!
"
affordable shipping lets you buy 1 or 2 coins at a time when on a budget . moose is a killer the best so far. thanks provident
"
I have five of each one in the series and am looking forward to the next two. The moose is very nice but the wolf is my favorite.
"
I’ve been collecting the Canadian Wildlife series for my grandsons. I think they are the sharpest silver bullion coin out there. The Moose is totally awesome, I’m going to pick up a roll for myself. Can’t wait to see what comes out next….
"
In my opinion, this coin is the best design from the series so far. The background does not interfere with the wording like it does on the first three coins in the series.
"
This is my first Canadian Wildlife series purchase from the value standpoint and all of the reviewers are correct. The Provident photograph simply does not do the coin any justice. As usual, Provident provided 2 coins listed as Brilliant Uncirculated and they simply weren’t kidding. I viewed them under 10X and 15X and I placed them in Airtites soon after and that’s where they’ll stay. I’m very pleased and will order more.
"
I have the other coins in the series and this one is the best so far. Beautiful is an understatement. Provident is the only place I buy from now. Excellent service and pricing. Thank You.
"
FOURTH IN the collection and if you collect the other ones its a MUST have
especially when it IS the Moose the ones only located up north in the GREAT WHITE NORTH
Wonderful Coin – My new favorite. As mentioned by others – would LOVE a PayPal payment option!
Thank you!

Received my order of Canadian Silver Moose today. They were packaged very well.
The design of the coin really stands out as always the Canadian Mint quality is exceptional. Shipping was quick. My only complaint was that I had two product related emails that I received no response from Provident on.
I think this is a great value coin for the price over spot. Look at what the others in the series are commanding in price now. These ones give you a little more juice than average silver because of the limited run. It’s a great looking coin too. Forget generic silver and get these.
"
Received my order today! Beautiful coins, excellent packing, First Class all the way. I’m switching my buying to Provident Metals! I can’t wait to order more coins from Provident Metals! if the coins always look this beautiful they have me as a customer. I love this Wildlife Series of coins from Canada.
"
very happy with the service I’ve received from Provident Metals. Will come back again and again.TY
"
this coin is awesome. My only issue is I wish they would ship coins in the air-tite capsules.
Other than that it is awesome!! no scratches, just pure shine!! and the detail is terrific. Provident Metals is the only coin provider I am aware of that allows me to buy just 1 or 2 coins at a time, since I am still in college. But they have allowed me to start my silver collection, within my budget
"
I’ve purchased all of the Wildlife Series from Provident and this Moose is among my favorite so far! I think that the Wolf is still the leader of the RCM Wildlife Series but this one takes second, followed by the Cougar and then Grizzly in my opinion. As always, the coin arrived in a timely fashion and was packages perfectly! Provident Metals takes a lot of care when shipping their fine products! They also provide stellar customer service for both buying and selling items! I can’t wait to order more coins from Provident Metals!
"
I just got my coin today, and It is great. The forth series of the canadian wildlife is so beautiful. The picture does not show It’s full beauty and shine. Providentmetals will NEVER……EVER let Me down.
