MacDonald (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse) Description In 1887 at the age of 14, James Edward Hervey MacDonald emigrated from Durham, England to Hamilton, Ontario. The son of a Canadian cabinetmaker and an English mother, MacDonald studied art in Hamilton and Toronto. He began a career in commercial design in 1895, only to abandon it in the second decade of the 1900s when he was encouraged by mentor Lawren Harris to paint full-time. One of MacDonald’s great friends was the painter Tom Thomson - and the two artists had an enormous influence on each other. Special features · The coin is a superbly crafted engraved adaptation of J.E.H. MacDonald’s famous work, Sumacs. · This coin is struck in 1 troy ounce of 99.99% pure silver, with a limited mintage of only 7,000 coins! · Sixth coin in the popular “Group of Seven” series, celebrating great Canadian artists of the 20th century. · Engraved in exquisite detail with a proof finish! Design This coin is an engraved recreation of J.E.H. MacDonald’s famous work, Sumacs (1915). Sumacs was one of several decorative panels that the Group of Seven was commissioned to paint in the Georgian Bay cottage of Toronto opthamologist and art patron, Dr. James MacCallum. Each coin exquisitely illustrates the robust texture of MacDonald’s original work, which used intense pigmentation to evoke the ruddy autumnal haze of sumacs in the fall. The image is framed with a polished band featuring the words “CANADA” and “J.E.H. MacDONALD,” the date “2013” and the face value of “20 DOLLARS.” Packaging Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell case lined with flock and protected by a black sleeve.

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. 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 “artist’s conception” drawings 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.
