My latest coin purchase.

2025 $10 (Canadian) Fine Silver Proof Coin - Tree of Life

Dive into the timeless allure of the 2025 $10 Tree of Life 1/2 Oz Fine Silver Proof Coin, a stunning tribute to nature’s enduring cycle. Crafted from 99.99% pure silver and selectively gold-plated, this limited edition coin—capped at just 12,000 pieces—brings the iconic tree motif to life with intricate detail. The swirling branches, silvery leaves, and grounding roots symbolize the interconnectedness of all living things, making each piece a miniature masterpiece that reflects both beauty and meaning across cultures.

This coin isn’t just a collectible; it’s a celebration of artistry and rarity. Enhanced with complex engraving and a radiant “bathed in sunlight” finish, it stands out as a perfect keepsake or gift for those who cherish special moments. Housed in elegant packaging, this 1/2 oz proof coin from the Royal Canadian Mint offers a tangible connection to nature’s wisdom, ideal for numismatists and admirers alike.

@rav3n I used to hang out with all my sister's Holden friends (who were all 4+ years older than me), wearing their Holden jackets and I proudly wore my Ford jacket. But there was one other guy with a Ford jacket, so I wasn't completely alone in my support for Fords. Lol

But I got to go to car shows (Show n' Shine) and the Speed Way, where I was plummeted with clay as the cars took the corners, but I loved it. I think this is when I learned to appreciate the Muscle Car. Hehehe

I purchased some lucky dip coins from the 2021 Mustang Enamel - US Half Dollar Coin set, and they arrived today. This is what I rece

2021 Mustang Enamel Coins

I received this coin with the last lucky dip I purchased, so know I have two. But I love the paintwork, as it reminds me of the XC Cobra that i loved as a teenager.

Back - US Half Dollar

These two coins arrived today.

I purchased the Aussie Big Things 2 folder & coins set, but I haven't opened it yet (I am hoping that when I do, I will have a coloured strawberry coin). What I didn't realise, was on the inside of the folder, there is two spots for these extra coins to go. The coins are for circulation, and could be found in your change from the post office. But since I don't physically go to the post office, I purchased them elsewhere. LOL

If anyone is interested in the Bluey Christmas coin it is selling fast. This place still has stock.

Thank @Mustang67 I lost out this time in EQL so I checked this site but they’d sold out now too. Ahhh well, sometimes you win and sometimes you just have to make a Vegemite sandwich and a cuppa and count your blessings instead : /)

@Harmonium I missed out on the EQL as well. That's the 2nd time in a row that I have been turned down. I knew this coin was going to be popular. I only purchased it as a Christmas presents for one of my great nephews, not to add to my collection.

Afternoon @Mustang67 Love your coins!!! I’m super keen to find mine now !! I should have a few others as-well!!

@Chasingsunsets collecting coins becomes very addictive. Lol

@Mustang67 , I put in the ballot for bluey coins and missed out. Oh well.

@tyme that sucks. I am not sure how fair this ballot way of doing things is, as I still see people selling their coins on EBay for ridiculous prices before the coin has officially been released. So how does that work?
