    Hi Alex,

    I meant each SET ( 2 coins) costs 235. :) I have 2 SETS! :D For both coins I think it's a fair price. How much did you pay for the Argali?

    Oh OK, 235,00 euro two coins sounds much better. I paid the Argali 299,00 euros from Power Coin, but after the first 5 coins sold they raised the price to 350,00 euro like any other big seller I checked.
    I think that will not be easy to find it much cheaper, there is too much demand for this series.

    Alex.

    I would also like to have an Argali, but it's pricy... :/ I think the African ounce series will also grow in the price. My opinion.

    I hope so! I will try to get them on ebay!
    The other Mongolia Wildlife series (Gulo Gulo Wolverine / Ural Owl / Hedgehog / Argali) took time to grow in the price, but now each coin is sky rocketing no matter what is the design.

    Wish the same for African ounces but it seems they are not very well distributed in the market, many big dealers I checked they don't have in stock. Maybe the mint should push these coins more to dealers so the coins will get more visible and popular among collectors. My Opinion :)

    Alex.

    I really like this series... i just bought a Rhino on ebay from Slovenia (hope it arrives).

    I paid $169 which is expensive in my opinion but i really like the coin and want it for my personal collection. Still would love the elephant but not prepared to pay current asking prices ($250 + ) on ebay.

    Cant find anywhere else to buy these coins except on ebay.

    Silberstars has the Gabon elephant for a "bargain" price of $145 euros. A lot less than $250.00

    Hi SS

    I posted couples of days ago video with elephant and I promised a video once I will receive "Rhinoceros" second coin of this series. I bought these coins from two different sellers from fleabay. Both of them are from Germany.The Elephant coin I received in 5 days, but for Rhino coin I am still waiting. Unfortunately I don't believe anymore that I will ever receive it. Maybe I panic ;) but check by yourself this seller.
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/360590636527?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
    http://myworld.ebay.com/www_muenzhandel-ortner_de?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

    Great feedback, a lot of coins for sale ( all premium coins) and now check for what kind of coins he is receiving all good feedback (2-30 Euro coins) also check how many good comments he has from the same buyers. I am not afraid that my money is gone...I will get it back.
    If anyhow I will receive this coin I will let you know and I will apologize to this seller.

    Not sure what you guys are looking at. His feedback is not great at all. He has 111 negative feedbacks in the last 12 months. Not saying your not going to get your coins just saying he certainly is not a 100% feedback seller.

    Why you pay so much for the Rhino?
    In Germany you can get it between 90 and 100 Euros.

    I can sell you one rhino for 96 Euro, if anyone is interested i can send you my auction Link.

    I paid for this coin $132 which is 100+- euro.

    I am still waiting :( I tried to contact seller two days ago ... no response... so I decided to open case.

    I still want this coin, not full refund.

    Acme let us know when you will receive your coin.
