    Anyone experience white spots on the monkey yet? Just curious. I was thinking about buying a couple of the 2 oz version, but scared to death about the quality slip from the PM.
    If you do have white spots, pics please?

    No not yet but I have found several with scratches and dings. Easy enough to pick up on the 5 and 10oz but problem in the rolls unles you break them open. The 10oz were good 5oz not so much. I prefer to keep the rolls intact and not know ?

    Yeah, Ronnie, if I buy, I will only buy in a stack of 5 X 2 oz in the Perth mint wrap. No question. What I don't know, and when I go to sell, what they don't know, is okay by me. They open the Perth Mint seal when I go to sell, that's on them, no return at that point. :)). Just extra insurance against white spots. LOL.

    I agree 100% with barsenault......I will only buy 5 coins wrapped myself, and have not experienced any issues what so ever.....

    I actually have some for sale if you want....These are the 2oz rounds....can do 5 coins encapsulated and then wrapped by mint for $265 or single coins for $55 each.....PM for shipping particuliars

    It seems difficult to get 2 oz here in Singapore. Went to the coin fair, pandaamerica doesn't sell them either

    It seems that the 2 oz are hard to find everywhere. The only place that I found them cheap is goldeneagle here in the u.s. But it is still early in the year. We have a long way to go before declared mintage. lol

    It seems like during the middle of the series year, they always have problems with the 2 oz lunars....
