SOLD OUT at the Royal Canadian Mint!

Yes, it\'s a gold quarter! In an effort to make proof gold coins affordable for everyone, the Royal Canadian Mint has just announced the third release in its smallest gold coin series ever, the pure gold hummingbird! Aware that rising gold prices have made purchases of this most-desirable of precious metals prohibitive for many who could previously easily afford gold, the Mint has responded with this reasonably priced investment piece, with a beautiful animal motif - minted in gold that\'s 99.99% pure! (Would you believe, less than a decade ago one could get an ounce of gold for less than $275!) The previous two Canadian half gram gold proofs (the Caribou Gold Proof and the Cougar Gold Proof) sold out handily.
The Hummingbird 0.5 Gram Gold Proof is the first release in the new series of Smallest Animals on Smallest Gold Coins. With it\'s extremely limited mintage of only 10,000, don\'t let this affordable, smallest gold gem escape - get it while you can!Ruby-Throated Hummingbird\'s are Awesome!
It is one of summer\'s most animated sights - a hummingbird flitting about the garden - up, down, left, right, flying in reverse - even hovering in one place as it sticks its long, slender bill deep into a flower for a drink of nectar.Not much bigger than a large moth, the hummingbird packs a surprising punch for its diminutive size. It aggressively defends its food supply and territory, successfully chasing away much larger intruders with its quick, unpredictable maneuvers and the unsettling hum of its wings beating 55 to 75 times per second.Even an 800 km (500 mi) expanse of water is no match for this sturdy little bird that readily crosses the Gulf of Mexico to its wintering grounds in Central America - and then returns north the following spring to mate.
The ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) is solitary. Adults grow to about three inches long, with a four-inch wingspan, and weigh only 2 to 6 grams! The male features a scarlet patch on its throat that gives the species its name.
Gold Makes a Great InvestmentThe gold is pure - four 9s pure (.9999), in fact. And it\'s affordable. Previously, the smallest gold coin minted by the Royal Canadian Mint was the 1/25 ounce pure gold proof, and these always sell well. But the mintage limit for this new, half gram size of gold coin is only 10,000 - certain to sell out, just like the previous two Canadian half gram gold proofs (the Caribou Gold Proof and the Cougar Gold Proof). Don\'t miss the boat - get this affordable gold proof while the gettin\'s good!
