Just noticed on Apmex's page as being released on 3/31. Looks like they'll come in tubes instead of capsules. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybDip_aaLsI Not a bad looking coin.
I remember reading about these a while ago. So long ago in fact I forgot completely about them. Do you know any info about these? I can't seem to find anything on the perth mint website, but maybe I am not looking hard enough. If they make a 1oz coin I will buy some. I think they make the tubes so that the external size of the tube is the same for both the 1/2 ounce and a 1 ounce coin, only that the 1/2 tube ounce has an inner moulded part to hold the 1/2 coins in the middle.
Ampex told me that its exclusive to Ampex, and limited mintage. But they don't know what the maximum mintage is, or how many per tube.
Not a great photo, couldn't get the timing right of the screen shot. But I have uploaded a photo here: http://thesilverforum.com/topic/199-2014-perth-mint-12-ounce-great-white-shark/?p=2338 If they are a good price, I might have to get you to help me out ordering a tube barsenault, if that's ok
I'll check it out when I land. It's not working for me. But that's okay. I will get you whatever you need, any time you need it! And these guys are faster than Provident...not a ton, but some.
Thank's, I might shoot you a message monday then, when Apmex releases them on pre order, should know then if they are going to be cheap bullion, or over priced.
The link for youtube does not work for me and the link you posted does not have a picture. Would like to see a picture. Thanks!!!!!
Sorry, maybe it's not displaying to guests. I will try to upload somewhere tomorrow and insert the picture into this thread here. YouTube video was removed, I guess the guy who uploaded it wasn't supposed to have done so, probably [used] to work for Perth Mint. Ha ha
If you go Apmx site, they have a "teaser" video on their homepage, you can see the coin toward end of the vid. Cheers !
Listed for sale on Apmex. http://www.apmex.com/product/81351/2014-1-2-oz-silver-australian-great-white-shark States "strictly low mintage" in the ad but asked Apmex and they won't tell me what the mintage is. Wouldn't buy without knowing that.
Well. Its definitely more than 10,000. Can order up to that amount. Anyway. Don't really like fractional coins.
I don't know why dealers believe that exclusivity adds any value to the consumer, it just allows the dealer with said exclusivity to more easily rip off the consumer. My bet is that the mintage isn't set yet and will be determined on how well they sell. Low is all in the eye of the beholder, it can be 999 or it can be 1,000,000.
