"The Perth Mint is pleased to advise that 50,000 2015 Australian Kangaroo 1oz silver bullion coins out of a total mintage of 300,000 will be available for sale in Australia next month." Nothing like issuing 2015 coins in July of 2016. I suppose it does take a while to ship 'em all from the US (back?) to AUS..
come on now, they're not stupid, they have now proved that. Blog post is very likely a premature announcement to quell the conspiracy theories here, thus - "A further announcement will be issued nearer the time of release"
Wtf 2015 coins to be release in 2016.... Hey wat going on.... ??? Someone Fcuk up send all overseas .... Now import them back??? Think they have makes stupid mistakes That could get them in serious trouble ....
Millions of 2016 were out there.... None 2015 to be seen locally... By the way, how old is the blog??? Someone have realise they make serious mistakes, after reading this topic. Why have to wait??? Shouldn't this already been made??? Already distribute to the dealers, yet none of the dealers have them yet accept CNT
US dealers Pete and there's been quite a few sold on eBay. Edit - Add eBay link to sold 2015 Kangaroo http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/Coins/11...lete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684
Perhaps the allocation is getting different packaging here, so they've waited for a release window when nothing much is going on. We're not talking about a release everyone is desperately waiting on, it's a pretty dull bullion coin (in my opinion). Not unusual for them to make old stock available either, granted I agree that 50k is a pretty silly number to hold on stock, but it's also silly to accuse them of a crime. innocent until proven guilty.
What's up with the slight differences in design? Here's some I found with Google. Note differences around head and front paws:
