I am. From the first time I came across them. That big coin is irrelevant. Yet, I don't see much mentioning here. Am I alone?
Sorry, nothing special in my books. Maybe I am missing something??? I do from time to time make an exception and buy silver coins for over spot because I like them but not these ones.
No you didn't miss anything, there is nothing hidden on the picture. You don't like them. That's an answer.
I'm alone in the world in liking those coins. Traitors! The future will laugh with your present attitude people! They will pay me gold for these silver coins! They will read back this forum and say lol nobody wanted to buy them, if they had known!
Maybe a little promotional talk is needed then! We silvers stackers against the thieves on the monetary markets are against the thieves, right? Showing our ideological middlefingers to governments and the parasiting clubs behind them, is what we do with every trade on the silver market, right? Freedom, including the right on what we produced, property, goes against government, right? Each one of these coins, is a symbol in this ideological effort of us. Symbols, serve as representations of ideologies. Symbols bring recognition. Recognition brings unity. Unity brings victory. Victory, against the thieves. Failure, of the theft. Preservation, of our property. Sun, flower and bees, on our old days. Now, Don't be enthousiastic. Enthousiasm, isn't wisdom. Be a calm observator. Think about symbolic value. Think about helping spreading ideas you share. Think about the biggest fear of any thief including and especially the one named 'government'. That is, people that instead of conflict, work together, against the theft, against the thieves. A fear, expressed as a symbol. A fear, for a symbol. That everytime they see a symbol popping up, they look scared at eachother, each one expecting another to do something about it, but none having guts and means. Until John Galt switches off the light, and they RUN.
Yes, just imagine how beautiful, a series of shiny rounds, all the way to the horizon, with the train railin' to the rising sun!
Today! A bullet makes a hole. A knife makes a statement. A silver coin makes a statement without a hole.
Yes I like, I want, I understand. The looters will never appreciate. Only when the looting is finished and they realise what real money is will they be interested. By such time they can clamor for anything shiny but pieces that represent such an accurate prediction of the times we now live in should be reserved for those of us who resisted and withheld from those who condoned the looting.
Upon seeing the futures total net position drop at a higher price, I decided to swap the rest of the saved euro's to these Mulligan Mint original coins, and some others from the scene over there in the US. I received the first order and am happy with them. I paid a price similar to the 2012 average price according to spot $30, so about 1/3 less silver, but alot Proofs, capsuled & luxe-boxed and so much better looking than another chunk identical bullion. It's a fair/good price, for what they are. In the end, a 1oz Lunar Horse 2014 costs even more, and I like them less. Maybe these coins will become a sought after in the future, and I've some good pictures to help that happen, just like they helped me, and the dealer.
And btw, those Mulligan Mint John Galt 2013's, the observe (or reverse dunno, the Galt figure holding the globe) differs from the 2009's, it's like the globe has a depth / 3D. It just looks marvellous when reflecting light from angles. Some blamed Mulligan Mint for bad production/quality, but that was surely not the case with the coins I now own.
I'm a patient sort. I'll wait for them to show up in the secondary generic silver bucket under the front counter at my LCS, along with all the Xmas, Happy Graduation and Happy Birthday 1oz bars and rounds, etc. I've already Norfeds there and all the rest of that stuff will show up in due time.
My second purchase was the secondary generic silver bucket under the front counter. Still alot more than spot, thats the thing here in EU with silver imported from US. There are little to no local/regional mints around here, and what is there has boring designs (king and queen, human rights, ...) just like the national mints from before the Euro Push. Also bought a series Christmas coins too, from Westminster Mint. Read somewhere that their production quality is not that great, though they looked ok on the higher res pics so maybe I've luck.
My tube of SBSS/MM Enemy Unknown (with the skeleton version of Saint-Gaudens' lady Liberty) had EU on the cap. I wondered if the double meaning of EU was intentional, or just serendipity. The EU is being marketed with the term 'zombie', to catch new buyers.
