Wow, $30.50 (U S) for a coin that has a silver value (.505 oz) of only $$8.45 (U S)? Quite steep.

After the first one or two, the newness wears off and reality sets in.  I've bought very few precious metal coins in the last year.  It won't  be long before base metal coins will be beyond my reach.

Steep??????

They're FACE VALUE! Can't get any cheaper than that. Yeah, international postage sucks, but still...

Actually, I should trade one of the 2013's for a 2014, since I never got around to ordering. Anybody got a spare?

The newness for the UK £20 for £20 or the Canadian $20 for $20 has not worn off for me.
 
I did not obtain the UK £100 for £100 but others did since it sold out quickly.

I didn't buy it either.  I stopped buying the Canadian coins after the third $20 for $20 coin. It gets old.
