I like it. Pretty inexpensive our favorite place: Talisman. I'm still waiting on my 6 gold superman coins edit: just picked up 2. Yum, Yum.
My guess is that the 5oz looks just as bad as the 1oz. I just love the way they refer to it as a "stealth release", I see that as insulting their customers intelligence. Like people don't know it's a commissioned product.
Bought two myself today. One for keeps and one for trading. Still mourning the fact that the 5oz gold 2014 Britannia is now sold out (mintage 75)..I had a plan to be able to afford it in 6 weeks time contingent on selling some of my stocks. Doubt I'll ever come across another coin that I like that much! Cheers, Luker
Yeah, those Brits are nice. No question. I just couldn't throw my money at it. It was tough enough on the 269.00, but at 54.00 an ounce, with 1,500 mintage, I was willing to take the chance. I picked up one for chrissilver if he wants it. He likes this high relief coins, and this series to boot. Otherwise, I'll keep it. :lol:
I really like it too, I love high relief versions of anything...but man...with silver so cheap right now...I can only concentrate on adding cheap bulk silver to the stack right now.
I know what you mean. 90% of my purchases are semi-numi bullion...and 10% (per month) is on collectible stuff like this. Holds/Gains value in turbulent times, plus I enjoy having them around, and showing the kids.
Even though I told myself I wouldnt, I KNOW I would have come home yesterday from the coin show with one had there been one...once it's in your paws it follows you home. Didn't see a single one there at the show....
Luker was actually referring to the 5 oz gold Britannia, not silver...both of which have a lot of premium attached but the gold coin's premium was considerably less percentage-wise. If I had the money, I would have definitely bought the gold 5 oz too. As for the 5 oz Eagle above, nice looking coin from the illustration above (though I wonder how the actual coin looks) and the mintage is low. Eagles will always be popular. It's seems like it is worth buying in my view. I am a big fan of high relief coins and medals. Some stackers are waiting for the $14 - $15 silver that might be on it's way. Getting a 15-20% discount just by having patience is at least as cool as buying today at higher prices! .
I quite like the look of it, but I collect too much stuff already, 5oz is the only coin size I don't have and if I was to buy a 5ozer the Bald eagle would be the one I'd buy.
