2022 W 1C CANADA 1 OZ SILVER NGC SP70 FAREWELL TO THE PENNY MAPLE LEAF CENT FR. 9999 Fine Tailored Specimen Finish Silver Coin - in SP70 condition, as graded by NGC.
This is a First Releases Strike. It was 10 years ago, in 2012, that the last Canadian penny was struck at the Winnipeg facility. Now, a decade later, the cent's maple leaf twig design has been brought out of retirement for a limited appearance on this 99.99% pure silver tribute. Struck in a tailored specimen finish, the maple leaves feature a soft satin finish, while the field is filled with angled lines that meet at the centre.
Those lines are a nod to our pyramid-shaped Winnipeg facility where this "W" mint mark coin was struck, and where all our pennies were minted between 1976 and 2012. This coin contains 1 oz. This is an unbelievable looking coin and is highly recommended!
