While it is NOT a circulating coin the 2006 Canadian one half ounce WOLF bullion coin is the only bullion coin that I am aware of that was cancelled after only one year. Canadian officials stated the coin sold well at just over 200,000 coins but their goal was 250,000 to be considered a huge success. Personally I think they made a HUGE mistake as sales on Ebay at this time put a full ounce price on a half ounce coin. I really like the half ounce Wolf and will continue to buy them if their price would come back down to earth! While many collectors prefer full ounce coins when silver climbs the half ounce becomes a staple for those who have less to spend on bullion coins. If you will check Ebay, at this time, you will notice numerous auctions for 1 gram bars and coins. Who in the world would buy 1 gram bullion coins or bars? I think these auctions are misleading hoping to catch unaware buyers who just don't read the fine print. If I remember correctly it would take 32 of these miniatures to make an ounce? Throw in the shipping charges and there is NO way one could ever come out ahead on this junk!
