What do we pay for a silver Canadian Predator?
Based on the silver rate of this moment, €1.75 per gram of fine material. As of:
| Variant | Fine silver | Total weight | We pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 31.104 g | — | €53.25 |
This price applies regardless of the year and the mint. With a rare year or exceptional condition the collector’s value can be higher than the material value – then we say so, even if that means you are better off not selling us the coin.
How we arrive at this amount
A coin is precious metal in a recognisable shape. What it fetches therefore depends almost entirely on the fine weight: the weight of pure silver it contains.
This coin is 999.9‰ pure, so the fine weight and the total weight are almost the same.
Four predators, one per year: cougar (2016), lynx (2017), wolf (2018) and grizzly (2019). The series followed the Canadian Wildlife of 2011 to 2013.
Not sure whether your coin is genuine? We check weight, diameter, thickness and – if in doubt – the density with X-ray analysis. Non-destructive: your coin stays intact.

The four predators
The series opened in 2016 with the cougar, followed by the lynx, the wolf and finally the grizzly bear. Each animal appeared in a single year, so the coins can be identified by animal and date. Wolf and grizzly also feature in the older Wildlife series, but in a different design and with a different year.
Authenticity and settlement
We check weight, diameter, thickness and fineness. With a fake, rarely does everything match at once: if the weight is right the thickness is off, and the other way round.
If everything checks out, we settle on 31.1035 grams of fine silver per coin at the day’s rate.

Questions about selling silver Canadian Predator
How does it differ from the Wildlife series?
They are two separate Royal Canadian Mint series. Wildlife ran from 2011 to 2013 with six animals, Predator from 2016 to 2019 with four. Both are one troy ounce of silver at 999.9.
Which animal is worth the most?
For the silver value they are equal. Any collector premium depends on demand at the time; the valuer will tell you if it applies to your coin.
Can I sell a full tube?
Yes, gladly. Leave the coins in the tube; we count and check them while you are there.
Do I need to bring anything besides the coins?
Only valid identification: passport, identity card or driving licence. That is a legal requirement when buying precious metal.
