12 days of Christmas - 3/4oz?? Unique Weight, Timeless Craftsmanship

As the festive season draws near, there’s no better way to celebrate than with a bit of shiny inspiration! For the next 12 days, I’ll be sharing my very own 12 Days of Christmas Countdown, featuring the precious metals I’d love to find under the tree this year. This idea was first dreamt up by a long-time #silvergoldstackers community member and good friend, @silverd510, and it pairs beautifully with our annual #SecretSanta project, where members exchange silver and gold gifts anonymously. Find both original posts here 👉 silverd510 and the #secretsanta 👈 there.....

Originally designed to showcase a growing wishlist, the concept had one rule: the gifts should increase in value as the days progress, culminating on Day 12 with your "holy grail"—the ultimate unattainable piece. It’s a brilliant way to share your wish list and perhaps even give your mystery sender a nudge in the right direction. So, grab a warm drink, and join me each day as I unveil the coins, bars, and rounds I’m dreaming Santa will deliver this Christmas!

Day 5: A 3/4 oz Royal Canadian Mint Silver Coin – Unique Weight, Timeless Craftsmanship

For Day 5 of my precious metals wishlist, I’m wishing for one of the 3/4 oz Silver Coins from the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM). This odd weight might be a novelty in the world of bullion, but it’s exactly what makes these coins stand out. At 23.32 grams, they’re slightly under the standard 1 oz weight, yet they still provide the same visual appeal and feel of a full ounce coin—just at a slightly more affordable price point.

The Royal Canadian Mint has a reputation for excellence, with a history of refining precious metals and producing iconic designs like the Maple Leaf series. These 3/4 oz coins maintain that legacy, featuring .999 fine silver purity and a variety of designs, randomly selected from the RCM’s extensive catalog. The obverse typically depicts Queen Elizabeth II, a classic and enduring element of Canadian coinage that connects collectors and stackers to the Commonwealth’s rich history.

The coins are not only a fun and unique addition to any collection but also a smart way to diversify. Their lower cost compared to a full ounce makes them an attractive entry point for newer stackers, while their odd weight adds a bit of intrigue for seasoned collectors. Whether you’re drawn to their craftsmanship, affordability, or novelty, these coins offer something for everyone.

Plus, with their CAD 2 face value, these 3/4 oz coins are backed by the Canadian government, providing extra assurance of their authenticity and worth. A coin with this level of quality and charm is always a welcome addition to any stack—and I’d be thrilled if Santa delivered one this year!

DAY 1 "Junk" Silver - cost $2/$5
DAY 2 1/10th oz - cost $5/$8
DAY 3 10g Suisse - cost $14/$18
DAY 4 1/2oz silver bar - cost $22/$24
