Fine Silver Hologram Coin - A Story of the Northern Lights: Howling Wolf - Mintage: 8500 (2014):The holographic effect is stunning. I was not sure, if I should buy it, but now I am glad I did. Just in time as it turns out. 98% are sold. Got number 3500-something. I cannot understand why some complain about the poor holographic effect. My coin is flamboyant under natural and artificial light. Maybe there is some spread during minting. The value and quality of this coin is (to me) much higher than that of any colored one. I hope that it will not tarnish for a long time, because I fear that the oxidation will destroy the effect. The only con: poor artistic image of the wolf. The front legs seem out of proportion (too thin).Was this a gift?:No Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend (1 of 1 customers found this review helpful)Was this review helpful?

Fine Silver Hologram Coin - A Story of the Northern Lights: Howling Wolf - Mintage: 8500 (2014):After having read other comments about not being able to see the colors & knowing that it's probably just how it was being held I took a chance and bought this coin.Turns out I was correct.It DOES matter what type of light you use but under my living room light which have a yellow glow I only need to turn the coin a certain way for the colors to show. It's not in-your-face color as some may have liked it to be. It's more subtle but you can see various colors which come alive as you turn the coin. Love the wolf/northern lights theme. Comes in plastic encasement presented in a a nice little hinged box with cert.of authenticity. Possibly will give this as gift to a nephew.Was this a gift?:No Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend (1 of 1 customers found this review helpful)Was this review helpful?
