Vincent Price once said, “it’s as much fun to scare as to be scared.” Almost everyone loves October. The weather is pleasant, not too hot nor too cold. Pumpkin spices, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, linger in the air. Football season keeps us busy. And the end of the month culminates in a huge celebration with lots of candy and costumes. Halloween has to be one of the most anticipated holidays of the year. Combine your love of Halloween and coins with these collector’s items from the Royal Canadian Mint and Monarch Precious Metals.
2019 Beaver Bullion Jack O’ Lantern
This bullion coin features a creepy pumpkin carving with the word “Halloween” written above the pumpkin. The year “2019” is printed on the front side. The reverse features a cemetery scene with the phrases “.999 fine Ag” and “2 T. Oz.” on the coin, describing its makeup of 2 troy ounces of fine silver. It makes a nice addition to a coin collection when the collector loves Halloween and all things autumn.
Werewolf Tombstone Bullion
This bullion bar from Monarch Precious Metals is truly unique, as no two pieces are the same. It is hand-stamped with “R.I.P.” and features a scary, spooky werewolf howling at the moon. The piece is hand-polished and coloured to give it a special, eerie vibe. The reverse of the bar is stamped with the weight – 2 troy ounces, purity – .999 fine Ag, and the Monarch logo. There were less than 1,000 of these bars minted, so it truly is a limited edition.
Superman Coins
Since 1938, when Superman made his debut in comic books, he has been a popular choice for a Halloween costume. Over the past decade, with the plethora of Marvel and DC movies, superheroes are even more popular. The Royal Canadian Mint has captured the likeness of Superman for a selection of coins over the years to add to your coin collection. Give these coins to your younger superheroes to instill a love of numismatics in the next generation as a treat this Halloween but don’t forget the candy to make the deal even sweeter.
