@NaturesProphet my gold and silver Swan arrived today. Thanks to you for your post a month ago, which motivated me to take delivery of these iconic pieces of history.
Just ordered mine through the Perth mint shop Apparently there were only 2 that had come back into stock!
New comet named C/2020 F8 'SWAN' was discovered in April 21, 2020 (found by astronomer in Swan Hill, Vic): https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.abc.net.au/article/12215594
Perth Mint had one in stock online this morning, and now have lots of emus and 2019 tiger/dragon - so worth watching for those who missed out
I snaggged 2 at open, there were 6 left before open FINALLY after having to not be able to find any regular 2020 silver swans and resorting to buying the 1oz silver swan proof from a dodgy online store I manage to snag my 2020 black australian swan gold coin. STOKED as and cant wait for mail call next mid week. Told a friend but to late poof gone again... Really surprised theres that many tigers for sale now, Perth mint must of only done 2.5k of the 5k mintage earlier this year and now rushing to fill the gap. LPM.hk has also had a restock of those coins
I got the last Swan they had, was thinking about getting the tiger then saw it. While I think the swan and tiger are better designs the Emu is quite good IRL so I don't regret getting it when it came out. I've got a 1/2oz gold Mouse in the mail, once I see it and the ox design I'll decide whether to try get the full 1/2oz lunar 3 series. 1/2oz usually have low mintage and is more affordable but I've not actually owned any 1/2oz gold coins so we'll see.
Finally after so many months I am officially in the gold swan club. Hip hip hooray! Bought a silver swan proof initially coz I couldnt find the regular bu one and wanted to have at least one version of the black swan
5 more swans were up this morning for sale on PM website, bought another one and about to post here but poof the rest were gone in like 5 mins...
