These are so beautiful, I am actually thinking of buying one for the wife as jewelry present!!

Has anyone gotten one of these also?

It'd be really cool if the US Mint does something like that, $20 USD for a $20 USD 8 grams Silver Coin.

I am not promoting anything but these Snowflake silver coins are simply beautiful. (Thats the 2x beautiful in one post lol)

The $20 coin in the second link I have 3 of which I bought from the mint in february. They recently released a different design $20 coin a few months ago, of which I bought 3, I would have bought more but the limit is 3. They both sold out incredibly quickly and are selling on the collector market for more than just the $20, due to low mintage.
Here is a link to the other $20 coin.

I know a couple guys on this form have found some Silver Eagles at banks. Do you know anyone that has found a Silver Maple in Canada?

I have dreamt of such a thing happening to me but yet, it has not. As far as I know there is only 1 maybe 2 other canadians on this forum both in eastern canada where as I am in the mid west. As far as I know I am the only CRHer in my city, perhaps even my province so no, I don't know of anyone who has found one.

Yes, I am the other Canadian CRH here. I dream of that score too, as well as silver dollars bought at face. No matter Canadian, Morgan or Peace.
I know that there are other CRH in my area, noticed when found marked cwr rolls in the bank. Guess what, now it's my dump bank. In regards to 20$ silver coin I don't think it's worth it: only 8 grams of silver. It's more reasonable to buy a 1 oz. maple leaf for 30$. I have noticed people are selling that coin for more than 40$.
Here is the pic of coin:

Well I bought mine from the mint for $20 a piece. I agree with you the silver value is far below the face value but it is more of a numismatic coin $20 for $20 I couldn't loose. To get them now you have to pay more than $20 but I got them for the lowest price possible. And I don't like bullion coins because they sell for a premium over spot, I would much rather buy junk silver at spot.
