Donald Duck 80th Anniversary Coins Now released at New Zealand Mint

I got one gold and silver in Singapore.

Stock available but short already.

Pm me if keen

 

^This. Though I have been buying too many numismatic coins recently, need to save up some money to buy some more low priced bullion coins.

 

Everyone goes through this. Then most try to stop but start buying numis again. bullion is just a gateway drug to the hard numis drug. U should buy some numis to keep silver fun. its a gamble that you cant really lose. If u just buy bullion and nothing happens with the silver price for quite some time u might be put off and sell. But if u buy bullion and numis coins you are more likely to say in the game for longer.

 

Over 600 silver ones on perth mint..

 

On the bright side, net amount isnt really 10%, Canadians get charged $30 in shipping, the US gets charged an extra 10% but get free shipping.

I was wasting time trying to get both free shipping and 10% but they sold out by then.

 

Maybe they "fixed" their system to remove that accidental free shipping to the US? If I log in I also see $30 shipping.

 

It's free shipping over $500 to the US but $30 to Canada...do you not see that anymore?

 

Not anymore I guess, shows as $30 in the cart and their shipping page indicates that the US is in Zone C for $30 shipping.

 

Guys this looks nothing like Donald Duck!!!

 

Pretty sure that's the old school Donald, not exactly the Donald we are used to seeing. Gold $663 USD for this - good luck with that guys.

 

This is when Donald Duck first started out. If you remember the Simpson's, Bart and Homer looked different.

 

You can see Donald's first appearance here:

Wow, That brought back memories. That looks exactly like Donald on the gold and silver. Thanks for posting.... It made my night..

 

I visited Perth Mint last Sunday and saw that they have one gold Micky on display, was tempted to get it but thinking that I won't be able to collect the entire series anyway, don't want to combat on the net every time there is a new release with no garantee that I will get it, so I gave up, but I'm still collecting the silver version.

 

does anyone know how many coins will be in the series yet?

 

I believe there is 8 in the set,the first two coins that have been issued are dating the characters back to the first cartoons. The next 6 are evidently colored examples of the newer characters.
Perhaps the NZmint rep thats on here might chime in with whats coming out.
There may not be the same amount of charm to the newer 6,just my opinion

 

First time I watched it was just a couple months back upon learning about the 80th anniversary of the coin coming out...I had however seen steamboat Willie many years ago, as its more widely presented even in present day through parodys parody's like the Simpsons itchy and scratchy and various others. I did enjoy watching both though!

 

I can confirm Donald duck is the last coin in the Vintage Disney coins series.

The series was a 2 parter; Steamboat Willie, and Donald Duck.

There will be other Disney coins coming from NZ Mint, they will be part of the Disney Series as a whole, but not specifically part of the Vintage Series.

I'm not sure how much info I am allowed to give on those, so I will leave the rest to Brent.

The following is also available publically on the Perth Mint website:

Only 2 gold. The following is silver.

 

Nice to see Downies is listening to these boards, just got an email newsletter indicating that customers in the US will now pay in AUD starting today and California residents will no longer have to pay sales tax.
