Hi, I have a 1kg Silver Koala from the Perth Mint, but the capsule is shatter! Does anyone know where to source a replacement?
Slight deviation on topic, does anyone who has a 1Kg Kook know whether the capsule halves - when joined, are meant to have a slight "gap" - as if it's not fully closed (but it is because it won't close any further)? To try and explain a bit further - the "lid" doesn't seem to have long enough sides to properly match the "base", therefore creating a small indent at the bottom (or have I confused everyone)?
Well, Look like you have to Use Chip for this one. Chip is in Perth. Perth Mint is his favourite play ground. How many are you after?
I was told by the mint staffs that the replacement capsules, will be phase out from sales soon. I dont know why. I reckon too much hassle for carrying the products. I order some it already took four weeks and not in yet.
I think just the newer ones have the small gap, it is still overlapped and air tight so no wont tone the coin just gives you a couple of mm to get your nails in to open the capsule.
That's what I'm seeing... but on a 1992 Kook 1Kg (which isn't recent, obviously). It most certainly is tight though, so no air can get in.
