    I've been told by some on this board that it is end of Dec. And that dealers are stocking up on these horses, knowing how popular they've been.

    I dunno but the 1 oz horses are expensive... Especially compared to the 5oz horses.

    Funny that you mention that. I was talking to an Apmex buyer the other day. He said some Type A guy had gone nuts over horses and was buying every dealer's inventory. :)

    Ha! I do talk with those guy pretty often. LOL. Is Greg one of the buyers you deal with? I'll be nuts over the horses for a little while longer, and ONLY if the price is right. 14 and change for 1/2 oz is a bit much and 55 for the 2 oz is a bit high. Plus, I really like the goats now. LOL. I got more than enough 1 oz horses at a 140. I'd like to get a 100 1 oz goats stocked up, but the greenbacks are running low...may have to wait till my tax check. :) But by then, according to missing price of silver could be 100 an oz....in Zimbabwe dollars. hehehe.

    Hi barsenault,

    I think I have spoken with Greg before, but Brent is the buyer that I normally deal with.

    There is also no reason for them to mint more in the future--as they did with the kooks.......pretty sure all but the 1 and 1/2 oz are open mintages........

    yeah, they all get declared after their year is up. Except for the kilos. And as hold fast said, they could produce a gazillion ounces and store them away to sell later..it would just have to show in the declared mintage, when it is posted.

    And when the PM writes:


    "No mintage limit applies to these coins for
    12 months. However
    , production will close at
    the end of 2014 and The Perth Mint will declare
    each coin's mintage."

    What they mean is we can produce the coins from mid 2013 to December 31, 2014.

    It is bad from the standpoint that they can mint the coins for about 18 months while claiming to do so for only 12 months. False advertising. I wouldn't have a problem with that if they updated the mintage numbers frequently throughout the 18 or so months of production. The coins are minted to demand, so why is the latest update December 31, 2013 mintage numbers?

    Justfishin is very "up front" about his fascination with Lady Libertad. :)

    It's not bad at all.

    When Perth release their bullion program each year they advise of the mintage policy for their coins via their official bullion blog and electronic brochure which is available for all to see.

    Many of Perth's dealers on this forum have information about the coins and the mintage policy.

    Fact is, most folk seem to have difficulty reading the mintage information where they buy their coins.

    It's not false advertising, it's lazy folk who couldn't be bothered reading what is freely available to all.

    Don't blame Perth, blame yourself.
