Not that I have ever looked, but I was surprised to see that the S1 Ox and Tiger weren't even made in 1/2 oz adze, I know you would have mentioned it but just in case, do the S1 1/2oz coins come with the red Perth Mint display boxes at all?
Another adze auction of deliciousness, with the usual suspects fighting over them like seagulls over a chicken wing.... 1) 70 2) 70 3) 130 4) 450 5) 250
