    It's actually the Olympus silver coin (title was to long) only 1500 coins - limited edition.

    What do you guy's think of the price tag on that, it's around 170 buck's for one, is it worth it? They say it's limited edition but correct me if Im wrong, didn't they have like a same coin come out before? so how does it actually become a limited edition?

    This coin has already been released. lol. I missed the boat, but not as much as you did :p

    Zuez is the first in the series. The next is Poseidon I believe.

    i wish they were minting more Zuez coins though, would have loved one at $170.

    They'll sell out too no problem, though maybe not as fast. Downies rep believes it's an even better design that Zeus

    Rare or not is 1 thing, some Mints produce like every day some coin with a 'limited' production but that 'every day' ends in numerous different coins, so many that people start to judge them as if they're all the same, and byebye 'rare'.
    Really rare is according to me a coin that has a limited production, preferably not intended as such / not ment to 'justify' a high price tag, but production limited in a rather passive / unintended way, AND the coins having properties (physical or 'in the mind') that make alot people like them. A school example of this are those Norfeds. These combine nearly all of these properties, and see how high their price was driven.
    Just to say, 'rare' is much more than just a kind and a number.

    Ya I dont want to play the EXPENSIVE games of the gods... there is 2 types of people here.. one that collects silver as if it was art and one that collects it to store wealth.. by buying these items you are not storing wealth but losing it due to its beautiful expensive overpriced arts of work.

    Do contact me though in 20 years time when I am a warlord. I might decide to spare your life young padawon
