    I keep getting sucked into buying these antiqued silver coins on eBay. Apparently they are done by private mints that are never mentioned as to who, one response said its "Top Secret" lol. Nonetheless I love the antique finish on coins and keep buying and paying huge premiums for them. Just curious if anybody else has this sickness or has opinion on this, will this be an upcoming thing? Example of one I purchased,but also buy ones that are from the RCM and popular/well known mints, except who antiques them is unkown/secret. http://www.ebay.com/itm/231300388175?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

    Perth Mint recently released an Antiqued 2oz Kangaroo which I think looks fantastic.

    These are coming from Perth antiqued? Would like to know who is doing the antiquing, but will buy regardless. Added to my pickup list. Those are very nice looking coins same with the above Wildlife series.

    Holy smoke! What is the size of this medal? It looks far better than big silver Gabon or what it was silver coin. You plan to get some more of these?

    Hell, this might be the best looking ("portrait") of lion I've ever seen! :)
