2016 Canada 10 Dollar Silver Star Trek Scotty NGC PF69UCAM Early Release

“Beam Me Up, Scotty”

Much of the science fiction series Star Trek remains just that, fiction. In terms of communications, though, it was, in many ways, just a few decades ahead of its time. Chief Engineer Montgomery “Scotty” Scott’s famous communicator device did many of the same things that today’s smartphones do. Scotty himself was famous for being on the receiving end of the iconic line, “Beam me up, Scotty,” which continues to be used in common parlance today. Whether you are a Star Trek fan or just appreciate forward looking technology in science fiction, this ½-oz Silver Star Trek Scotty Proof is for you.

• SECOND IN THE STAR TREK CHARACTERS SERIES – This 2016 $10 Canada 2016 ½-oz Silver Star Trek Scotty Proof was the second of four coins issued in a series honoring four of the series’ most famous characters. The collection was released to mark the 50^th anniversary of the debut of Star Trek: The Original Series.

• FOUR NINE FINE WITH GORGEOUS PROOF FINISH – The Royal Canadian Mint struck each Star Trek Scotty Proof from 99.99% fine silver. Each piece has a stunning proof finish that fits the futuristic coin’s theme beautifully.

• CANADA LEGAL TENDER -- Each 2016 Silver Star Trek Scotty Proof is $10 Canadian legal tender, as noted on the reverse. In addition to being home to the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania also has Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, within its borders. In addition to being home to one of the world’s elite mints, which produces countless series for a wide range of collectors, Canada is home to breathtaking scenery, which includes endless forests, deep blue lakes, and stunning shorelines.

• VIRTUALLY FLAWLESS -- Your coin will be graded Proof-69 Ultra Cameo (PF69UC) by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), a distinction that means your almost-flawless coin will showcase an impressive full strike and indistinguishable imperfections -- well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series.

• A LIMITED MINTAGE – Many Star Trek collectors will be unable to add this coin to their collections, as the Royal Canadian Mint released just 12,500 of them.

From its unique storyline to its technology that captures the imaginations of viewers of all ages, the Star Trek series continues to enamor viewers throughout the world. It has captured a virtually unrivaled fan base, known individually as “Trekkers,” who travel to conventions and collect all things Star Trek. This 2016 ½-oz Silver Scotty Proof is sure to be high on the lists of paraphernalia desired by fans of the iconic series, but with a limited mintage of 12,500 pieces, many will be disappointed.
