(see ‘Additional Information’ below) All of our Canadian coins are acquired directly from the Royal Canadian Mint - The counterfeiting of numismatic coins, and the sale of stolen coins, are serious problems for coin collectors and dealers. Unlike many other coin dealers, to protect against these risks, we do not sell 'second-hand' coins. All of our Canadian coins are stored in a climate controlled, smoke-free vault. Specifications Composition - cupronickel Finish - specimen with color Diameter (mm) - 35 Edge - plain Certificate - serialized (serial numbers will vary) Face value - 25-cents (a legal tender Canadian coin) Artists - Julius T. Csotonyi (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse) Description Many scientists believe that, more than 66 million years ago, a shallow inland sea known as the Western Interior Seaway covered the center of the North American continent, stretching from the Arctic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. The eastern and western shores of this sea were lined with plains that gave way to hilly highlands in the East and the volcanic beginnings of the Rocky Mountains in the West. Across much of the ancient shoreline soared one of the largest animals ever to take to the air: Quetzalcoatlus. This pterosaur from the Late Cretaceous period was a large, lightweight reptile with a long, stiff neck, a sharp bill, and a wingspan of up to 10 meters (33 feet). The Quetzalcoatlus dinosaur coin is the second in a 4-coin Prehistoric Creature glow-in-the-dark (photo-luminescent) series! Lord of the skies: Quetzalcoatlus—North America's largest pterosaur. Special features: For best effect, place the coin in sunlight, fluorescent, or incandescent light for 30 – 60 seconds. Then bring the coin into the dark to reveal the skeleton of the dinosaur! Turn off the lights and discover the Quetzalcoatlus's glowing skeleton! Photo-luminescent effect will not wear! Designs approved by the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology. Design: This coin was designed by artist Julius Csotonyi, and this stunning painted coin illustrates palaeontologists' rendition of what Quetzalcoatlus probably looked like - and when the coin is removed from natural light, the prehistoric creature's skeleton is revealed. The scientific accuracy of the depiction was verified by palaeontologists of the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology. Packaging: Each Coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint branded maroon clamshell case lined with black flock and protected by a customized colored sleeve with glow-in-the-dark elements. Shipping & Handling Fast, free shipping & handling to all U.S. addresses via USPS First Class Mail. USPS Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express are also available for an additional charge. International shipping is via the eBay Global Shipping Program. Additional Information OK Ranch sells fine collectible & investment coins, fine & fashion jewelry, gifts, and more through our eBay store. “Unsearched” — All of the coins offered in this listing are “unsearched”. Many coin dealers “search” all coins when they are received from the Mint. They "cherry-pick" the best coins. Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc. These graded and certified coins are then sold at higher, premium prices. When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins. Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered. Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We often include proof coin photos with the coin slightly tilted to better depict the mirror bright surfaces. However, tilting the coin may resulting one side being slightly out of focus. Our goal is to provide clear, high definition photos that accurately represent the coin(s) offered in each of our eBay listings. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just stock artwork from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
