Brand New Silver “Wolfie” Coin! [Review + Giveaway]

, ,

grey wolf silver canadian coin

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 ;)).

  3. Drop it in the comments below

And voila! You’re entered! We’ll run the giveaway for a week and it’ll end on Friday, October 24th @ midnight. U.S. residents only, I’m afraid – apparently it’s too expensive to mail to Canada which is very ironic since it’s *ahem* their coin ;)

Happy collecting!

*BONUS ENTRY* After you enter this giveaway, go to LenPenzo.com and enter Len’s! He’s giving away the same coin so it’ll double your chances of winning.

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 ;)

    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 :)

    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!

    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 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”

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    1. Jay Avatar

      Had to look up what was so special about that penny… they’re rare!

    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.
