The unloved become the loved... From the latests Perth Mint email: "The 2012 Australian Koala is satisfying pent up demand for silver bullion coins from The Perth Mint. Launched in early January, the iconic investor coins are available in 1 kilo, 10oz, 1oz and 1/2oz sizes. In just two weeks, investors have ordered more than 170,000oz of pure silver in 1oz sized Koala coins alone!" Seems like plenty of demand for silver at the current prices, get em while they're cheap!
