2023 Canada $20 1-oz Silver Great Hunters: Grizzly Ultra High Relief Proof NGC PF70 First Day of Issue w/BC & Grizzly Label
An Inspired Coin Design That You’ll Want To Get Your Paws On!
It’s been said in Canada that dealing with Black Bears is like coping with mosquitos in the lower 48 states—they’re pests! But Grizzlies? They’re the REAL apex predator you’ve got to keep your eyes peeled for when venturing through the majestic mountains and forests of Canada’s wilderness. The Grizzly Bear’s scientific name alone—Ursus horribilis—is enough to send a shiver up anyone’s spine no matter how experienced a woodsman they might be! But now you can cozy up to one of these beasts without fear of its claws separating your face from the rest of your body thanks to this coin, the latest release in Canada’s Great Hunters series! What’s more, this coin features the work of Emily Damstra, the coin’s world’s newest phenom who rocketed to stardom with her re-design of the American Silver Eagle!
Extraordinary Ultra-High Relief Design By Emily S. Damstra!
Damstra’s rugged Grizzly Bear design effectively captures the intimidating presence of a Grizzly Bear. Described as a “mysterious monster” by First Nations and Native Americans, Grizzlies can weigh more than 1,320 pounds and can stand upwards of eight-feet tall. Her design shows an infuriated Grizzly snarling down at the viewer—who is likely second-guessing the decision to enter the bear’s home turf! 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 one-ounce version of this coin struck by the Royal Canadian Mint in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% silver. In addition to the gleaming silver, the coin was also produced in Ultra High Relief (UHR) with detail so intricate that the designs seem like they’re leaping from their surfaces! Plus, this legal-tender $20 coin also comes in gorgeous Proof condition, meaning it was 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 Issued
In fact, each 2023 Canada $20 One-Ounce Silver Great Hunters: Grizzly Ultra High Relief Proof available in this offer has 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 Issue (FDI) coins, a designation that means that they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date. Collectors seek out these coins because they are produced with new dies and considered to have sharper strikes and deeper mirrors than those that are struck later. Also, the population of coins labeled First Day of Issue is only a fraction of the total mintage.
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 Grizzly Bear 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 be accompanied by its original mint packaging that consists of a leatherette display case with a Royal Canadian Mint-branded outer paper box and accompanied by a mint-issued Certificate of Authenticity.
Order Now! Just 6,000 Coin Struck For Worldwide Release!
As amazing as this coin is, what might be even MORE amazing is that it’s limited to a painfully small mintage of just 6,000 one-ounce silver coins struck for worldwide release—and fewer still are available in perfect condition with an FDI designation!
