    What do you think of these? I'm tempted. I know the Southern Sky Series (Crux) went through the roof. This is the 1st in the series. Mintage 5000.

    1st in any series usually does good.I like this coin and face value is $5 which is a +. mintage could have been lower,perhaps 1000.how long is the series? how many coins are in the series? one coin per year?

    There will be three in the series. I’m not sure of the release dates. I didn’t even notice the 5 dollar value. I picked up a few. And it has unique features with the colored earth, the different obverse, and dome shaped. Interesting. I agree the mintage is high. But then again the Southern Sky Crux has done well, and they had a mintage of 10,000.

    Also: "Convex design adds depth to the Earth, making it appear rounded. This is the first time the Royal Australian Mint has colorized the convex side of a domed coin."

    "First in The Earth and Beyond Silver Domed coin series features our beloved home planet, the Earth. The beauty of our planet is displayed in a convex shape, giving a realistic look to the coin. Our planet Earth was thought to have formed around 4.54 billion years ago, with the first photograph of the full view of Earth taken on December 7, 1972. That famous photograph, called the "Blue Marble" was taken as the Apollo 17 crew left Earth's orbit for the moon, and shows a captivating view of the Earth."

    $99.00 dollars on APMEX. What are the prices in that part of the world?

    I meant here in Australia. The issue price was 125$aud I believe, so APMEX is just slightly higher. Emk too has stock at roughly same price as APMEX.

    Haven't bought any numismatic coins for a while but this one looks really nice, in picture at least. Hope it looks as good in hand.

    Downies has it 'in stock' but not sure how accurate that is because it allows me to check out 5001 coins haha. I obviously didn't press pay though.
