i got a few, wish i had bought more, i was on the fence buying 20 of the 5 ouncers but i ended up buying ATB's instead, bad move.
All i can find are the ungilded 1 oz, and the prices people are charging for any of the others compared to my 22 silver 1 oz keepsme buying the plain ones (although they are gorgeous)
just found this, looks like only 5K of the 2011 1 ouncers were minted http://www.coincollecting-values.com/2011-new-zealand-2-fiji-taku-1-oz-silver-coin/363/
Im tempted to just constantly pump my money into these as far as i know my dealer can just keep getting his hands on them
I think they only mean the gilded ones--there is no way there are only 5000 of the bullion one minted--the market is flooded with them.
Lol.. proberbly cos Canadains are to busy buying those awesome ASE's and Maples... ( i kid) nah id say 5k is about right.. its a very under the radar set and aside from aussies, some kiwis and some europeans.. most of the world only knows there own issues and think they are superior to the rest of the worlds.. ie: USA and Canada. But yeah 5K mintage next to the 2011 Maple or Eagle (in the millions +) and i can understand why your doubting it. But id suggest you have it dead around the wrong way.. the market is flooded with them (them being maples and ase's - NOT Taku's) 1for1
Lol--funny thing is--I have a few privy maples and 1 hologram ASE---neither of them work for me at all! That's why I'm here with you guys! Seriously--1for1--are you certain of this mintage? I have a chance to grab a bunch right now dirt cheap--if correct--sure something to consider. Do you know mintage of the 5 ozers?
Both 1oz and 5oz Takus are unlimited mintage. I bought at least 300 x 1oz over the course of 2011, there was no shortage. They just aren't very commonly found here that's all.
Link-- www.nzmint.com/coins/shop-online/fiji-taku-1oz-silver-bullion-coin 2010 says unlimited.........smells...fishy:lol:
Oh well not fussed about mintage, its still an ounce of silver and a nice bit of art too, cant go wrong
Hi Silvernash, no im not sure at all it just didnt suprised me given they are reletivley unknown and those who did buy proberbly only got a roll or two. RE: they are unlimited... you know this means nothing right? Unlimited could be 1k or 100 mill. the 2010 Koala was unlimited and there is under 10k total so unlimited is just a potential rather than a mintage.. given the mint has stopped selling them for over a month or more.. actually more than two months.. id say they will realise the 2012 rather than re-minting 2011's. I dont know what else to buy at the moment anyway so Takus near spot is a great buy... id buy them if i couldnt wait for the 1/2 and 2 ounce lunar dragons. RE: Maples and ASE's... good on you my brother.. i started off mainly importing these in from USA until i discovered local bullion and never looked back. Cheers mate, 1for1
Never thought of it like that about the mintages--good point. I do have some 5 ozers coming which look very nice--can get a roll of 20 for a 10 oz---2-5 ozers+ 2 generic rounds. Hmmmm........
