    I bought a couple of the limited edition sets (4 coin Mellenium Falcon and 4 coin Darth Vader) direct from the mint rather than through an Aust distributor. Fortunately, I split up postage. So one set of each kept it under $1000 with a second set of each mailed seperately. Lo and behold, Customs did hold up a delivery and tried to sqeeze me for money until I got definitive paperwork showing that my order had been split and that each order WAS under the $1000 thresh-hold. Fortunately I forsaw this possiblility on ordering and am now glad I had the order split for delivery.

    Slightly off topic but does anyone (or Maggie) know if the NZ Mint Real Pirates of the Caribbean skull & crossbones pendant is silver?

    I HAVE RECEIVED EMAIL THAT THE SETS OF WWW II PINUP GIRLS WILL BE IN 15.3.2012 AND THERE ARE ONLY 75 SETS AVAILABLE. THEY WILL NOT BE LISTED UNTIL AFTER THE 15th ON APMEX.

    THEY ARE EXPECTED TO SELL OUT QUICKLY. ANYONE WANTING TO CONFIRM ORDER PLEASE DO SO ASAP. I WILL TAKE ORDERS UNTIL 15.3.2012,
    THEN I WILL CLOSE OFFER. I HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN CONFIRMED PRICE. IT WILL BE AS LISTED. TAKE IN TO CONSIDERATION US TO AUD AND SHARED FEES PLUS MY HANDLING FEE $15.00. PLEASE REMEMBER THESE SETS DO WEIGH MORE WITH CASE. I DO NOT HAVE WEIGHT AS YET.


    Mintage of only 3,000 coins each!
    This coin set celebrates Nose Art with famous imagery from World War II! It consists of 3 x 1oz .999 silver coins with color designs on the reverse that represent some of the most famous Nose Art of WWII Bombers. Ever since men went to war in airplanes, they have felt the need to decorate their mounts with unofficial and personal markings known as Nose Art. Often frowned upon by authorities and admired by the rest, these colourful decorations have in turn been inspiring, emotive, aggressive, humorous, cynical or even tasteful.

    The designs shown in this set are the very famous and ever-popular "Memphis Belle," "Briefing Time," and "Yellow Rose." The coins also incorporate background detailing of rivets in the plane panels. On the obverse, the Raphael Maklouf effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Each set is presented in a custom tin replicating plane paneling. A certificate of authenticity comes with each set.

    With only 3,000 made, and only a very small fraction secured by APMEX, these sets will sell out fast! Do not lose time and resort to paying higher premiums on the secondary market. Buy yours straight from APMEX today, while we have them in stock! This would be a great gift for any veteran, plane enthusiast, pinup enthusiast, or someone with a fascination for World or U.S. History.

    Regards Maggie
