Hi silver kook, Okay, got it now. I mistook "Perth Bullion" for a product, not a dealer....duh on me! You Aussies are fortunate that you have a dealer in your country selling them. On another stacker forum, some members from Great Britain were disappointed that they couldn't find a dealer in their country who is selling them so they had to buy them direct from the U.S. The American Landmarks rounds I purchased, I am not looking to sell any time soon....they'd make great gifts anyway. Good subject (landmarks of America) to depict on a series of rounds, very aesthetically appealing designs, excellent quality, pure silver, and good size....I wish I had lots more money because I'd have put it into these rounds from the Elemetal Mint to support the excellent, high quality products they produce. .
Having a date on a silver round doesn't necessarily make it a coin. Some rounds do have dates. A silver coin must be authorized by a legit agency and then it gets a nominal value (denomination) put on it as part of the design. So just because a round has a date on it, doesn't necessarily make it a coin nor does it make it necessarily more valuable. That said, I like dates on certain collector silver (bullion) products. .
4th in the 2oz series is out - The Kracken! Rank it #2 best in the series after the first release privateer. Think might be the 3rd Kracken coin I've seen coming out this year. 2015 was the year of Odin, 2016 might be the year of the Kracken. http://www.providentmetals.com/elemetal-kraken-2-oz-silver-ultra-high-relief-round.html
so I have done some research on the mintage numbers for the privateer rounds 1 the privateer 70,344 2 the siren 61,640 3 the captain 66,839 4 the kracken still in production no numbers yet
Yes mate! Now it's hard to get 1st privateer in a decent price. I am very regret that I haven't bought them one year ago.
Yea about 99 bucks ebay.au for the first one and a auction that went for about 155 have seen the 2nd one for about 88 bucks and again not everyone liked the siren in hand its a nice coin but if you want the set...
I am thinking they are down with this series, they had been releasing about 1 per quarter, havent seen anything new in a long time now. To bad I liked this one, guess they ran out of ideas
Yeah it seems they are done with the series. That's so sad, I really enjoyed it. But they are starting up a new series and it comes with a new box. It's the 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse. It's 4 silver rounds, 4 copper, and a 10 oz bar of all the horseman.
