I bought this coin a couple of weeks ago and was just trying to find more about this coin. It look like a reverse proof and the privy mark is a castle. I have seen other coins online with differnt privy marks.Thanks for your help,Mike.

Does the privy mark look like this?



Probably the 1998 Silver Maple Leaf with RCM privy mark for the 90th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Mint. It is actually the Royal Canadian Mint logo. Here's a Wikipedia link to Silver Maple Leaf Coins info including some listed privy marks ===> clickable link

1908 and 1998 makes 90 years for 90th anniversary of the RCM. Maybe the privy mark they used is not the RCM logo then. I just assumed since I have not seen one with that privy mark.

Direct quote from the Charlton Guide...



<< <i> $5 Silver Maple Leafs with Privy Marks 1998-2005
Beginning in 1998 the Royal Canadian Mint started a special issue of the $5.00 - 1 oz. silver Maple Leafs. Privy marks were added to the reverses, commemorating special events for each year. >>



For 1998 there are four varieties.
1998 Titanic==Dillon-Gage
1998 Tiger==MTB Bank
1998 R.C.M.P.==Post Office
1908-1998 Anniv.==R.C.M.

Yours is the last on that list, it should come in a Mylar pouch, 13,025 were issued the least of that year.
In MS-65 it is $25 Canadian Dollars.
