Brand New Silver “Wolfie” Coin! [Review + Giveaway]
|Hey guys! Got my hands on a kick-ass new silver coin that just came out this week exclusively from APMEX.com: The 2015 3/4 oz Silver Canadian Grey Wolf coin – it’s pretty slick.
And just like we did last time when they released the silver Australian Great White Shark coin, one of you will be winning this bad boy as well. So be sure to read to the end so you get your chance to enter and own one of these too! Collector value aside, it’s made of pure silver so will always be worth something (and it’s an official $2.00 Canadian coin so you can always spend it ;)).
About This Canadian Wolf Coin (aka “Wolfie”)
Here’s a snippet off APMEX:
Hunted nearly to extinction, the Grey Wolf has made an extraordinary comeback in North America. And now this legend lives in Silver. Produced solely for APMEX by the Royal Canadian Mint, this rarely encountered 3/4 oz Silver bullion coin features a lone wolf howling in the forest signifying fortitude and strength. Meticulously rendered in .9999 fine Silver, this noble tribute is among the world’s purest coins.
And here’s my attempt at my first “vlog” (video blog) where I film myself opening it up and seeing it for the first time, haha… Was kinda fun, though I had no idea what I was doing ;)
You can see just how big and solid it looks though:
You can only buy it directly through APMEX for about $17.00 right now (they offer it as low as $2.59 over “spot” which is currently at $17.38 at the time of this writing (for 1 full oz). This coin is 3/4 oz which is strange, but hey – it has a wolf on it ;)).

PS: Wondering what that crappy marking is on my left arm in the vid? It’s a (really) rough sketch of an anchor tattoo I’m thinking of getting. I like to draw them on my body first to see how I feel before getting ’em permanently inked on my skin. So far I’ve only pulled the trigger once ;)
Jay, I’d like to get my hands on a 1 oz. American Gold Eagle!
I really like the Silver Canadian Wildlife Series Moose :)
I like the 2013 1 oz Silver Mexican Libertad BU, the angel/mermaid combination makes for an interesting scene on a coin.
Is that a mermaid? I always thought it was her leg up in the air, but I like the mermaid visual better :)
The 1 oz platinum eagle looks pretty nice!
WOO HOO first comment and heres to hoping no one else is into coins as much as me so hopefully ill win by default lol. Anyway I looked over on Ampex and I honestly would take most of what they had if offered but I like this $2.50 Indian Gold Quarter Eagle one because it looked cool and also because its for a weird amount which makes it more cool. Also just wanna say this site along with budgets are sexy and rockstar finances are daily visits of mine bc they rule. Thx for the good content!
crap i thought i was first, shouldve known better haha
I was slow on my moderation ;)
I like the siver bars but if were striclty talking coins I like the 1oz. Silver Rocky Mnt. Big Horn Sheep.
BTW, I like the stash bro.
Thx man :) I shaved it off earlier this year to appease my wife, but I’m sneakily growing it back w/ my beard right now and so far she hasn’t said anything – hah
I love the 5oz ATB coins
I like the 1 ounce Platinum Eagle from the US Mint.
I like that shark coin. Are they going to rename the regular toonie now to the wolf? ;)
That would be cool :)
I would just love a 1 oz gold eagle please-Thank You!
I like the beautiful $10 Indian Gold coin.
I’ve always wanted a 1 oz Gold South African Krugerrand. Maybe next year – ha ha.
Cool coin! I think the 2010 Israel Jonah in the Whale Biblical Art Smallest Gold Coin would be cool to have.
Does it need to be a “coin”? If not, I’ll take a 100 oz. RCM bar.
Otherwise I will always love 1 oz Silver American Eagles, even if they don’t change the design like many of us had hoped.
I’m a sucker for tigers. I like the Perth mints Wildlife in need 2010 tiger or the RCM Lotus Tiger. They are both beautiful coins.
While it’s not a single coin, the “Britain, France, U.S. Silver 3 Coin Set – D-Day” is pretty cool. I’ve liked WWII history ever since I was a kid.
I really like the America the Beautiful 5-ounce silver coins, particularly the Denali National Park one!
The Platinum Australian Koala coins! So cute :) Who wouldn’t want a koala??
(especially at that value!)
2014 1 oz Silver Niue Black Rhinoceros Proof great looking coin.
I’d love a handful of South African gold Kruggerands.
I’m feeling that 1 oz Platinum American Eagle…
I would love to get a 1oz American Gold Eagle coin.
2014 1 oz Silver New Zealand $1 Desolation of Smaug (Gold Plated)
I spent way too much time oohing and aahing over that site, lol. If I had to pick one it would probably be the 2014 Silver $5 Bank Notes Series Proof (Lion on the Mountain) from the Canadian Mint.
If I could have any coin, I would pick the 2004 Lewis & Clark Bicentennial $1 Silver Commemorative one.

I’ve been wanting a Kangaroo coin to add to my world bullion collection. I like the design for the “road sign” version.
I searched for “circus” out of curiosity and the result was a Charlie Chaplin coin! That would be neat to have. “2014 1/4 oz Gold Proof Charlie Chaplin – 100 Years of Laughter”
Hah – that’s pretty cool!
Any of the gold Canadian maple leaf coins…
I’d go for the 2014 1 oz Gold Canadian Maple Leaf BU to start my collection
My home state – 2012 5 oz Silver ATB Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, HI
I would go for one of the 5 oz. pucks that the mint has been putting out, either the Hawaii volcanoes or White Mountain.
1 oz Gold Kangaroo!
Would love to get the 1 oz Platinum American Eagle… never had a platinum coin before!
I’d take the good old fashioned American Gold Eagle.
I would choose the 2012 5 oz Silver ATB Denali National Park coin. Reminds me a trip I took there several years ago.
A gold or silver Canadian Maple Leaf coin!
2014 Silver Canadian Iconic Superman™ Comic Book Covers (#419) – i love that the canadian mint did a series on this and i think they can just blow you away with there awesome design.
In keeping with the theme, I want the 2006 1/2oz wolf silver bullion from the Canadian mint. It’s not at bullion prices anymore, but would still be a welcome addition for me.
Hi JMoney,
So many to choose from!! I think the RCM Wolf coin is awesome………..thanks for sharing and doing the contest…….
Canadian Maple Leafs are fantastic.
John, thanks for the contest. I would like to add the Silver American Eagles (San Francisco Mint) to my collection.
2014 1 oz Silver Armenia 500 Drams Noah’s Ark. Great looking coin from a place I’ve never been. By the way I can’t stop looking for a cool safe for my home now.
Haha cool :) I see them every now and then at yard sales and thrift stores, but they’re usually not as cool or solid looking.
I’d love a 2014 1oz. Gold Buffalo BU!
I like the 2014 1 oz Silver Birds of Prey Series Bald Eagle. I think its ironic that it is a Canadian Coin with the US National Bird.
Interesting!
I have wanted an 1877 penny for years now, but they don’t seem to have one for sale. So, of the items they have listed I would go with the 2014 1 oz Silver Somalian Elephant (Colorized) due to my African roots.
Had to look up what was so special about that penny… they’re rare!
1 oz Gold American Eagle BU of course!
I think that I’d like to get my hands on the Great Smoky Mountains silver coin. I feel like it embodies old style America. (http://www.apmex.com/product/80979/2014-5-oz-silver-atb-great-smoky-mountains-national-park-tn#sthash.lCGjpmTI.dpuf)
I love to pre 1933 gold coins especially the Indian Gold Half Eagle Extra Fine
Kushan Gold Stater (290-310AD) XF
Without a doubt the most beautiful coin on that site and such history. What a joy to have something like this in the collection.
I love silver coins. Would like any really, but the Silver Eagle is my favorite.
I’d like to get my hands on one of the Gold Buffalo coins.
Love that wolf, Jay! APMEX has a really nice one ounce platinum eagle as well. A beauty!
Owning one of those $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle coins would sure be some cool bragging rights!
Isle of Man platinum Noble
oh man, gold coins are awesome….$5 Liberty Gold Half …
but a silver one would be cool too.
I would like the Mount Rushmore America the Beautiful series silver coin.
Love the Perth Mint Silver 2010 Tiger
I would like to get my hands on one more of the pre-1933 Gold coins.
I would like this Candian beauty and then maybe pick up a Mexican Libertad coin to really cover my North American bases.
I really like the American silver Glacier National Park, MT coin as I’m neighbors to the state of Montana!
I love the lunar year sheep coin! Gold is one of my top priorities for stocking my future apocalypse house and the sheep just makes me smile. No offense to Chinese culture or to anyone born during the year of the sheep, I just like the sheep. :)

The platinum koala coin is super nice!
I live near the Smokey Mountains so that would be cool to have.
I’d like one of the 2005 Silver Australian Year of the Rooster coins.
I would love to have the 1 oz Gold Buffalo. Thanks for entering me!
would love to have it….
I really love coins so deciding on one that really grabs me the most right now was hard. In the end, I’m picking a great silver colored coin to raise awareness of the endangerment of the Siberian Tiger. It looks like a painting on a palm-sized silver coin and it would be awesome to own.
I also found some silver coins struck under Peter the Great and the first Romanov leader of Russia, Michael I. These are honestly not pretty but I love the history that a single coin could carry. I always like imagining people in the times and places of the coins, holding the same coin I have in my hand.
