    Is this because pamps are in low supply and have a premium or hummers are unpopular?

    Crazy, I like Pamps, BUT my next purchase is hummers for sure.

    no need to get racist :p

    Hummer AFAIK = 1Kg coin, but i've only started reading the book, some of the people here probably wrote it

    i think pamps are way sexier than a novelty over-sized coin :) no offence intended we all have our favourites :)

    It's the 30 AUD on the thing that interests me, for undisclosed reasons

    Anyone else think the 1kg coins are too thick?

    I would like it to be the same thickness of the 10oz, but have a bigger radius.

    I think I read on one of the threads that Aurora et Luna is credited with "coining" the term hummer for the 1kg round.

    Correct me if I am wrong ,Steve :)

    He has had "Hummers" listed in his website as far as I can remember.

    Anyway, I don't think it's got anything to do with popularity/unpopularity of any certain product. I think you should look at prices listed form other online dealers.

    Any suggestions? Tried bullionmark but they only had a 2008 hummer. Price is about ~70 on th official PM site. AEL has a 2009 koala pretty cheap

    I humbly accept that honour :lol:
    Started using that term for a kilo coin years ago when I posted on Kitco.
    I have a real affection for these coins.
    At one stage I actually had a collection of 15 of these babies
