All coins offered in this listing are unsearched! All of our Canadian coins are stored in a climate controlled, smoke-free vault.

This unique coin features six tumbling snowflakes engraved in exceptional detail. The three largest snowflakes feature opal white Swarovski crystal elements. This coin is engraved with the word "Canada" and the year 2012. This coin is encapsulated and presented in a maroon clamshell case lined with flock and protected by a black sleeve. Are also available for an additional charge. All of the coins offered in this listing are "unsearched".

Many coin dealers "search" all coins when they are received from the Mint. They "cherry-pick" the best coins. Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc. When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins.

Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered. Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We often include proof coin photos with the coin slightly tilted to better depict the mirror bright surfaces.

However, tilting the coin may resulting one side being slightly out of focus. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just stock artwork from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
