    Very cool looking coin!

    I just found about this coin yesterday through an email.

    I went to the web page for the coin: https://firstcoincompany.com/S/niue...ra-high-relief-with-real-meteorite-stone-1-oz


    Looks like First Coin Company is giving an early 4% discount with the code: 4WOLFE Since I purchased the Erta Ale silver domed Volcano coin, this new volcano coin is of interest to me as well. The video of the new coin gives a much better idea of what the coin looks like than flat pictures.

    For me, what I like about the orders I've placed with FCC is that they always ship free and quickly and the items are packed professionally (well protected). Other dealers I've used sometimes do a terrible job at packing and I've received items damaged fro some of the other dealers. So for me, a dealer shows their professionalism in many ways...one being in how they ship.

    Personally, I really like that textured look on the obverse:

    The Erta Ale is twice the weight and a more ambitious piece overall. It is however, about twice the price as well.
    They're both cool, both limited to under 700 pieces and both seem well liked. Erta Ale is first in the series, while Wolfe Creek is second, so you might want to pick up Canyon Diablo as well.

    I'd buy the one you liked the most frankly.

    Maybe the curved Erta Ale coin proved to be too costly in production. Curved coins are a lot more work / effort to produce from what I understand.
