    Zombucks, Labors of Hercules, Perth Lunar, Birds of Prey, etc... what is your favorite series?

    Do you buy them purely because you enjoy collecting a series? Or are you collecting a whole series to turn a profit due to the collector value? What is it about a coin series that appeals to you?

    Thanks!

    Lunar silver proofs are awesome proof coins in my view.


    I like silver most....when it's shiny!

    Nice sampling, mmissing.. We share some similar tastes.


    Though to be fair to the coins & rounds out there..

    Agree or disagree, but I don't consider medals to be in that category (or even in the same league :lol: ), due to their inherent nature..

    In some instances, the line between coin and medal seems to be disappearing slowly. The Swiss Wildlife coin for example has no rim and about the highest relief I've ever seen on a coin (at least on the reverse (non-Queen effigy) side....it's like a medal in that respect. I forget if its faces are oriented like a medal or a coin when flipped.

    I know you're going to say that no coin compares to the Chinese high relief medals....and while that may be true, I like the direction of high relief that a number of mints are going in with their coins and medals. I applaud that and will support them by buying the high relief coins and rounds that I like.

    I think high relief coins and rounds will get better from hereon in....some are already excellent in my view.
