My 5 Most Wanted - January 18 2011

It has been over a year since I have updated my "5 Most Wanted" coin list so an update is long overdue. This time I chose to make two lists. The first is a list of the "reasonably priced" (less than $50) coins I want and the other is "expensive". In all likelihood I will only be getting the reasonable priced coins in the near future but it is always fun to dream about the expensive ones!

I will make sure to update the lists whenever I get any of the coins on either list.

Top 5 Reasonably Priced:

1. 2011 Wolf - I really like the look of this coin (and of course the 1/2 oz version from a few years ago) and I want to get the Wildlife series coins as they come out (this is the first coin in the series)
2. 2011 Silver Maple Leaf - Just because this one should be fairly easy to get since it is this year's coin
3. 2010 Silver Maple Leaf - I was really slacking last year and never got this coin, but I think it should still be fairly easy to come across.
4. 2009 Ox Privy - The series of coins I am currently working on are the Chinese Zodiac so I would like to get the last coin in this series
5. 2007 Pig Privy - Another needed coin in the Chinese Zodiac series and with a low mintage of 8000 I would like to get this coin as soon as I can
   

Top 5 Expensive:

1. 1998 10 Ounce Silver Maple Leaf - This would be a great one to get because of it's size! I would love to hold this huge coin in my hands.
2. 2010 Gold Plated Olympic Set - This set has the three Olympic Silver Maple coins, which are some of my favorites in my collection, with selective gold plating. I love the look of them.
3. 2010 Gold Plated Olympic Hockey Coin - Instead of selective plating, like the above set, this is a single coin with full gold plating to commemorate Canada winning both hockey gold medals at the 2010 Olympics.
4. 2005 Canada Lynx Set - I love the idea of the 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz coins coming with the 1 oz on. From what I have seen they look like a great set.
5. 1998 RCMP Privy - One of the first privy mark coins I have always liked the look of this coin's mark.
