    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.

    what's 15K in the grand scheme of things?

    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.

    Canada 1980 Gold $100 NGC PF68 UCAM Arctic Territories. $295

    Canada 1981 Gold $100 NGC PF68 UCAM National Anthem. $295

    Canada 1982 Gold $100 NGC PF69 UCAM Constitution. $295

    Canada 1983 Gold $100 NGC PF69 UCAM Gilbert's Landing. $295

    Canada 1984 Gold $100 NGC PF69 UCAM Cartier Voyage. $295

    Canada 1985 Gold $100 NGC PF69 UCAM National Parks. $295

    Canada 1986 Gold $100 NGC PF66 UCAM Year of Peace. $295 (someone must have been careless taking this one out of its capsule!)

    Canada 1987 Gold $100 NGC PF68 UCAM Winter Games. $295 (gold content dropped from 1/2 oz to 1/4 oz beginning this year)

    Canada 1987 Gold $100 NGC PF69 UCAM Winter Games. $295 (an upgrade?)

    Canada 1988 Gold $100 NGC PF69 UCAM Bowhead Whale. $295

    Canada 1989 Gold $100 NGC PF69 UCAM Sainte-Marie. $295

    Canada 1990 Gold $100 NGC PF69 UCAM Literacy. $295

    Canada 1991 Gold $100 NGC PF69 UCAM Empress of India. $295

    Canada 1994 Gold $100 NGC PF69 UCAM Home Front. $295

    Canada 1997 Gold $200 NGC PF69 UCAM Haida. $425 (gold content of the $200 issue was set at .5115 oz)

    Canada 1998 Gold $200 NGC PF69 UCAM Buffalo. $425

    Canada 1998 Gold $200 NGC PF69 UCAM Buffalo. $425

    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.
