2016 Canada 15 Dollar Silver Heroes Paramedics NGC PF69UCAM- Early Releases

Celebrating Some of Canada’s First Responders!

You arrive at a relative’s home for a pleasant visit and ring the doorbell, but there is no answer. Their lights are on, and they are expecting you, so you wait a few moments and ring again. Still no answer. Their car is in the driveway, so you know that they’re home. Starting to get curious, you peer in the window to see your loved one lying on the floor not moving. Immediately, you make that all important phone call for help and begin trying to get the door open yourself.

Minutes later, trained professionals who leapt into action the moment you called arrive at your relative’s home. They immediately check their vitals and begin administering oxygen. After a few more agonizing moments, your relative begins to blink their eyes as they are wheeled out to the ambulance on a stretcher. You still don’t know that they are going to be alright, but you know that they are in the capable hands of Canadians who are at their best when others are their worst. This 2016 Silver Heroes Paramedics honors the oft overlooked Canadians who save lives like that every day.

• FOUR NINE FINE – Every 2016 Canada Heroes Paramedics Proof was struck from 23.17-g of 99.99% fine silver at the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM). In addition to producing the Gold and Silver Maple Leafs, the RCM produces several series that appeal to many different types of collectors every year.

• TRUE TO LIFE DESIGN – This powerful proof shows two paramedics wheeling a patient out of an ambulance and into a hospital. The paramedics appear focused and calm as the aging woman on the stretcher looks peaceful in the knowledge that she is in good hands.

• STUNNING PROOF FINISH – Each Silver 2016 Heroes Paramedics features a stunning proof finish, which serves particularly well to bring out the ambulance, complete with its flashing lights, in the background!

• CANADIAN LEGAL TENDER – This 2016 Silver Paramedics Proof is $15 Canadian legal tender, as noted on the left side of the reverse. Canada is home to a diverse range of stunning natural scenery, which includes vast forests, long coastlines, and breathtaking mountains.

• CERTIFIED 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.

• LIMITED MINTAGE – While Canadian paramedics help thousands of people every day, just 10,000 pieces were issued in this release that honors them.

Cops and firemen tend to get considerable recognition for their efforts in protecting the public, often at tremendous risk to themselves. Unfortunately, paramedics are often overlooked even though their fast reactions, discipline under intense pressure, and skilled execution of their training under less than ideal conditions save lives every day. This 2016 Silver Heroes Paramedics Proof honors those often-forgotten first responders with their own coin. Order yours now, though, because like paramedics from a hospital when they receive a call, these coins will be gone quickly!
