2024 Canada Gold & Silver Great Hunters: Cougar Ultra High Relief 2-pc Proof Set NGC PF70 First Day of Production w/Black Core & Cougar Label
Act Fast To Pounce On These Canadian Cougar Coins!
Sometimes referred to as mountain lions or pumas, cougars are stealthy, nocturnal, and reclusive, big cats that bring down large animals like deer and elk by leaping from behind in a violent demonstration of agility and strength. Now you can cozy up to one of these beasts without fear of becoming its next meal in this the latest release in Canada’s Great Hunters series! What’s more, these coins feature the work of Emily Damstra, the famed designer of the Type II American Silver Eagle!
Extraordinary Ultra-High Relief Design By Emily Damstra!
With the ability to jump up to 45 feet and leap 15 feet straight up a cliff wall, cougars can also run up to 50 miles per hour for short distances. And, blessed with excellent vision, combined with sharp senses, they can track down their prey from miles away. The cougar’s sharp retractable claws, large canines, and carnassial teeth provide the finishing touches to a successful hunt. Damstra has captured those aspects of this apex predator with a design that shows a sleek and powerful cougar stalking its prey along a rocky ledge in Canada’s mountainous wilderness! A native of the Great Lakes region, Damstra has many U.S. coin designs to her credit, including designs for the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program, the American Innovation $1 Program, the 2018 Breast Cancer Awareness Commemorative Coin Program, and the 2017 Boys Town Centennial Commemorative Coin Program.
Here you can secure the Gold & Silver Two-Piece set that consists of coins struck in one ounce of 99.99% pure gold and one ounce of highly pure 99.99% silver with $200 and $20 Canada legal-tender values respectively. In addition to the gleaming gold and silver, the coins were also produced in Ultra High Relief (UHR) with detail so intricate that the designs seem like they’re leaping from their surfaces! Plus, these coins also come in gorgeous Proof condition, meaning they were expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies, and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.
Flawless Proofs From Among The First Produced
In fact, each coin in the 2024 Canada Gold & Silver Great Hunters: Cougar Ultra High Relief Two-Piece Proof Sets available in this offer have been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 (PF70) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded proofs have ZERO imperfections—showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, NGC has certified that these proofs are First Day of Production (FDP) coins, meaning that they were struck on the first day that the mint began striking the series. To qualify for First Day of Production, coins must be received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository accompanied by documentation from the mint that confirms that the coins were struck on the first day of that coin’s production. Each coin will come sonically sealed in a museum-quality acrylic holder with a black display core and encapsulated with an exclusive cougar-themed label. The set will come housed in a wooden display case and accompanied by mint-issued Certificates of Authenticity.
And not only will each coin come sonically sealed in a museum-quality acrylic holder with a black display core and encapsulated with an exclusive Mountain Lion label, but they will be accompanied by a small storycard about the coin that was personally signed by Emily Damstra herself! Each coin will also come shipped in a black wooden display case with a red maple logo and accompanied by mint-issued Certificates of Authenticity.
