    Yikes! Just a little bit less than 4X spot. Time for mandatory management drug testing and MH evals.

    Even more so when you look at previous eBay sales, good few have gone for issue price or less. Doesn't look like premiums will increase in this series in the same way the Perth Mints coins have.

    Nice design but yes, way overpriced.

    Thumbs down from me. These square coin things never seem to do well for some reason.

    I like it, but I would not want the entire collection.

    I also would not want it sitting in my collection with my other coins, but rather as a proper display piece. I think the square "coin" inside the classic Greek temple would make for a great display piece.

    However, I would want only the first coin in the series (EDIT: Sorry my bad - Second coin in series) as Aphrodite (Goddess of Love) is my favourite and it also has something to do with my Greek Heritage as to why I would want this.

    So yes, I don't see this appealing to the masses, and expensive yes, but again, for me I would pay the slight premium considering I think its worth being on display.

    Before I get thrown to the fire here, No I don't usually display my silver! But I would make an exception in this case.

    Aphrodite (Goddess of Love) is second coin of the series. The first one is Zeus.

    I have it all. I prefer this rather than Perth Mints for personal collection.

    For selling, PM is the coin.

    Aphrodite coin is look different and much better in real life. Excellent Proof Quality. We would be unfair and unjust to this coin if compare to bullion coin / spot price.
    In my opinion, Aphrodite is the best so far in this series.
    Just remove the display and put her in our pocket....if she not bring us luck,... at least give us some love .... of silver... ( smile)
