Maybe Ron could be kind enough to give us an update, considering this blog is now over two months old.
If silver to gold rstio is like 70 to 1 right now and has been above 60 for quite some time now... What a disaster to have traded for Gol... I won't be trading to gold til it's like 20 to 1
Mr. Ron Currie please provide an update. It's not too long before the release of the Lunar's; (2016) we are very interested in what you have to say about the coins you have quarantined post production. From the blog: "Finally, we've started quarantining some product before shipment to monitor whether this approach is working". http://www.perthmintbullion.com/Blog/au/Blog.aspx
Perth Mint are still selling milk spotted junk ! Problems still persists since Ron Currie's post. Seems all too coincidental that The Perth Mint, Barvarian Mint, Canadian Mint, American Eagles all milk spot. And the list goes on and on. Quality control and saving money by cutting corners is a likely cause. Or is it, buying cheap contaminated silver from unreliable sources in Asia ? Who knows. But usually these issues arise by cutting corners. Like a good politician Ron Curries appears to make a statement that things are being done, underneath the surface the problem persists and the consumer is still screwed. Strangely, the higher end proof sets seem to be milk spot free just like The Canadian Mint. The RAM seem to have no milk spot issues. So maybe the Perth Mint should take a leaf out of their book. Best thing to do is avoid Perth Mint Coins, as with this on going problem it's a waste of your good hard earned money. If the Perth Mint were a honest company they would have policy that only milk spotted coins can be returned and you receive a replacement restruck coin in it's place. But don't hold your breath while they are still working out ways to cut costs. Like many great Aussie companies from the past, the Perth Mint have now joined the queue with a whole host of the shonky, unreliable under performing companies.
Is the Perth Mint 2015 kilo Kookaburra considered a "bullion" coin? I don't know much about them but if its produced like other bullion coins then milk spots are a possibility. If its a Numismatic type coin then its a big fail on the pert mints part, it should have been returned , not cleaned, ugh never cleaned. Atleast the RCM doesn't have milk spots on there Proof/numismatic coins, that I am aware of , just on the bullion coins.
