    Hi guys,


    Does anyone have any more information on this coin? See pictures below.


    Size comparison with '11 Kook and Lunar YOTS. The capsule has some bulk to it.

    Nothing to indicate that it's 999 1 ozt.... Slightly worried :|

    Is that a proof coin taken out of the set?

    Roo seems to be a little bit thicker, but then a little bit smaller in diameter.

    Tared with the piece of paper. Quite a big difference :|

    The Kook weighed 1.008 ozt


    Edit: Thanks for the feedback guys. Looked up the Masterpieces in Silver set.

    This coin (on its own) wouldn't have much numi value, would it?

    Yes it is the centre piece of the 2004 masterpieces of silver set

    1oz or slightly more - can't remember

    Downies also sold them on their own in a nice box

    Not worth a huge numi premium but would usually sell for more (on ebay) than either of the other 2 coins in your picture

    Thanks Trew.

    I got it for pretty cheap (imo), so I'm pleased.
