    Just a few questionays:

    Perth Mint buys other bullion (maples, Pamp etc) so what do they do with it? Can one ask if they have any non-PM stuff on hand for sale, and has anyone scored this way? If not, do they have a reseller in Perth that they pass things on to?

    Are there alternative shop-front bullion/coin sellers here in Perth? I know Bullion Bourse has a pick up option, which is a good alternative but they're a bit far out to just casually pop in, and I'm not sure they have a "store-front" type set up.. There's Australian Coin & Bullion Exchange in Kelmscott, again a bit out of the way, do they have a retail store, and does anybody have experience with them?

    Here is a picture of my baby stack from a few months ago, to make reading my potentially lazy questions a little less annoying. It has been added to by a few pandas, sunset roos, wildlife in need panda, some dragons and some interesting sterling Mexican jewellery (my latest interest stream), but I haven't taken new pics in a while..

    cheers y'all!

    The mint melt every single thing they receive that isnt theirs. The staff cant even buy it before it hits the melting pot.

    I dont think there are any other bullion shops in Perth, just numi dealers I think.

    I just recently bought my father the itty bitty little Kangaroo at sunset from the RAM, when the missus and I visited for floriade. It was for his combined bday and xmas present. It has a pretty low mintage (5000).. so I thought maybe some numi potential and my gf said she really liked the design. Not sure whether it will go numi-plosion or not, but thought it looked nice. :)

    it sure is :D got it from BullionClub, with the Omnias. I was pretty happy when it peeked out of the bubble-wrap, I've seen plenty of pretty grim looking ones around here. The tiny RAM Roo was an impulse buy down at PM. I had just placed an order for a kg bar, and I just couldn't leave empty handed.. one of the best Australian coin designs I've seen. I have some 1ozers too now, the 2011 ones (one of which had a milk-spot, received its replacement today :)). I don't care if I have to wait a few years for them to mature, (STEEP premium) I'm pretty sure they will and in the mean-time, they sure are nice to look at.
