    image.jpeg image.jpeg Looks even more impressive in the hand a great finish to them and NZ Mint have done a great job with the polished coin I finally managed to get a few of these and for those of you who took part in the bulk buy I'd be interested to hear your comments
    I've placed mine in capsules

    Nice coin indeed. Small-ish mintage and low premium is a bonus too.

    Never bought NZ mint bullion before - what is the milk spotting rate compared to other mints?

    I took part in the bulk buy and am very happy with the product and the whole process.
    Being new at this my question to the stackers out there is where is the best place to purchase the capsules at a reasonable price.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm not sure I've never been that keen on nz mint but this sure is a beautiful coin one out of the box

    No milk spots on any of the NZ Mint silver products I have and have no heard of any problems here
    The Darth Vader is a stunning coin in my opinion with the polished finish of Darth himself

    Have placed all mine in capsules and have a few spares if interested in adding these to the stack

    There are a couple of guys on here who sell good quality capsules suggest you place up a WTB
    The coin is 40mm and best to get a slightly larger capsule . Placed mine in 41 and they look great

    Are all these colorized Darths I'm seeing out there, aftermarket works? I'm guessing NZ Mint didn't put them out. Just curious

    Pity that is not available in proof version. I think it's one of the best SW coins. With a lot of them I was quite disappointed.

    The original coin was released in a 1oz proof version and now commands a premium, check out eBay
