    How do you obtain these?

    I tried to buy them from APMEX in the United States and I received a message at my checkout that they are not available for delivery to Australian customers.

    I sent them an email asking why, no reply yet.

    I also tried to purchase the Australian Lunar Series 1 (1 oz Silver) Presentation Box and got the same result.

    I bought some coins from them and I had no problems. It took 10 days from placing the order to delivery to me in Brisbane by FEDEX.

    There was no GST charged, only a $55 customs / inspection fees, whatever that means. (It was not GST as my purchase was a lot higher than $550).

    I asked them about GST, and they told me they know not to charge GST on Australian Legal Tender coins.

    Is there a better way to store / show these coins?

    Any help / suggestions with Presentation Boxes would be appreciated.

    Hey Konteri

    Best place to buy presentation boxes is Downies - google them and give them a call - they usually have Perth Mint Presentation boxes which aren't available. Not sure about the lunars, but I have bought the Discover Australia display cases through them before. Very quick to deliver too :D

    Nothing wrong with bringing metal in from overseas - they get fiat, Australia gets precious metal :)
