Uhhh, no. You don't understand... at almost $15K, it really is out of the realm of possibilities. Love the color though. I have an MS strike of an 1854 1/2d that is almost as electric blue.
Heck of a lot of rare and georgeous material on the NEN site! So, I can understand why little time might be devoted to bullion proofs such as the Canadian $100 and $200 issues but there they were. IMO the Canadian mint has long since mastered the UC minting process and has packaged their coins attractively as well. Holding a few 1986 $100's, I wondered what influence mintages, TPG grade and gold content might have on the pricing of these items.

Mintages varied widely for the $100 coins but does not appear to be a factor. Mintages for the $200 coins were lower but other published guides price them at or slightly higher than the 1986 and prior $100's (a tiny bit more gold). TPG -not much of a factor at the "lower grades." 1987 and later $100's with 1/4 oz of gold appear to be best avoided. I think I'll just consider mine 1/2 oz of gold and move on.
