The lightbulb’s development was a defining moment in human history, but it did not occur overnight. The lightbulb’s development began as early as the first few decades of the 1800s, when arc lamps were shown to the public. Among those early inventors seeking to light homes around the world with electricity were Canadians Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans.

Inventors looked for filaments that would product light but not melt or burn inside of the glass tube. Platinum was actually an early choice among inventors, but its expense made it a poor choice for wider adoption. Carbon was the first popular filament. Thomas Edison would famously earn recognition for patenting and marketing the first incandescent lightbulb.

Today, the efforts of all these inventors are promoted on the 2018 1 oz Lightbulb Privy Silver Canadian Maple Leaf Reverse Proof Coin. As reverse proof coins, these specimens have a strong, frosted matte background with contrasting deeply-mirrored, clear design elements for visual brilliance.

These new coins also feature the Royal Canadian Mint’s exclusive MintShield Technology. The new technology from RCM is available primarily on Silver Maple Leaf coin variants, and helps prevent milking, otherwise known as white spots.

On the reverse of the 2018 1 oz Lightbulb Privy Silver Canadian Maple Leaf Coin is the Walter Ott sugar maple leaf design. Included on this face of the coin you’ll find a privy mark that features a lightbulb with light rays emanating from it. There are also engravings of “Canada,” “9999,” and “Fine Silver 1 oz Argent Pur.”

The obverse of the Lightbulb Privy Silver Canadian Maple Leaf Coin bears the fourth-generation portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is found on the obverse of all Canadian coinage and this design includes engravings of “Elizabeth II,” “5 Dollars,” and “2018.”

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

How can I contact you?

Please feel welcome to call us toll free at 1(888) 989-7223 or use our Live Chat feature during normal business hours Monday through Friday, 08:00 a.m. to 06:00 p.m. CST. Alternatively, you can email us at help@silver.com and expect a response within 1 business day.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
