I'm a big fan of fractional gold. I have always liked it, and feel with the right purchases it has the capability to give the best rate of return on premiums. What I mean by that is there are many 1/10th pieces selling in the $200 range and not a ton of one ounce pieces selling in the 2k range. Yes, there are premiums on the fractional pieces, but they go on sale frequently, and the more collectible pieces (Perth,RAM etc..) seem to sell cheaper than even the basic gold eagle a good deal of the time. Of course, the reason I like them is not quite that simple, but that is the gist of it.
These particular gold pieces are made by the Royal Canadian Mint and are 99999 pure. Not that there is a huge difference between .999 .9999 and .99999 it's cool and different IMO. They also come in very nice cards and have a changing design. These were a deal between Bay Precious Metals and RCM I believe and the mintage are pretty small. The exact mintage is not know or I haven't found it, but they have two different designs based off the one ounce series. This series started later than the one ounce series and the the once ounce series has many designs now. I'm not sure if the RCM will continue on with these, but I hope they do as I enjoy to pick them up.
Tell me what you think.

My end goal is gold coins. I've learned to love fractional gold for it's affordability. I prefer the larger gold coin. I don't know if I can just stack fractional gold, or 1/2 ounce of gold a month. If I do, I will not have anything left in my budget for silver. It is silver that keeps my interest in stacking going. But who knows. I may change overnight!
RCM issued between 2014 and 2017 a gold 1oz $200 series called "Call of the Wild". It depicted the Howling Wolf, the Growling Cougar, the Roaring Grizzly and the Elk. The design is the same as your 1/10oz series, but I could not find anything more about your series.
The Call of the Wild series is still ongoing with the 2018 coin being an eagle. The 1/10th series is a deal The RCM has with Bay Precious Metals who sell on EBay. I don’t know if BPM will continue it.
I have a soft spot for fractional gold. It's so tiny and intricate. The missus also tells me to stack more gold so I have to get some gold with my silver purchases hahahaha, but I find it hard to pass up stacking silver in quantity to look at MORE, hence fractional gold comes into play.
Anyways, really cool collection you have going there, keep it up!
Beautiful gold my man! 👊
Super cool little gold fractionals.
@silversupplement nice RCM fraction set!
The forest gold I ever bought was a 1/10th kangaroo. I'm looking at that cougar at the moment actually. 😁
Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
A little gold at a time still adds up !!!! Beautiful coins sup !!!
Badass dude! I got a five pack of those wolves myself. Five 9s ;-)
I’m a big fan of fractional gold myself. Prefer the 1/4 oz. but 1/10 would be my second choice.
