These two sets feature proof coins struck from 99.99% pure gold and 99.99% pure silver. They are available in very limited mintages. Both extend Royal Canadian Mint fractional programs that have seen quick sell-outs. More attractive to those who can afford it, the gold issue marks the Mint’s first incused fractional set.

Additional information and pricing is below:

Correction: silver set has 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/10, 1/20 ounce coins.

They’re really attractive coins. I’m just having a hard time figuring out the pricing….less than 2 ounces of silver for $250? The markup seems a bit much.

Has the RCM figured out its milk spot problem? Not going to buy *any* numis from them until this is addressed.
