    I'd say borderline false advertising, I was initially pissed off about the lack of a COA to be honest with you.

    No point bringing it up with the mint though, they know how to twist words better than most... if the past is anything to go on :/

    It's going to be our fault for reading it wrong probably :rolleyes:

    Just as well they're the best mint on the planet, makes it easier to forgive them when they play word games.

    I have just called EMK, they are only selling coins to people in Germany.

    I asked them if there will be a UK distributor or where I would be able to purchase from and the lady on the phone said that the Director has not yet decided what is happening in terms of allocations to distributors/dealers.

    So doesn't look hopefully for us UK guys unless you happen to have contacts in Germany.

    Well, don't think they're gonna start numbering the cards now.

    They can't even get the new web-page correct. :rolleyes:

    Now they say:

    "The coin's reverse portrays an Australian Stock Horse galloping on a rural property alongside a wooden fence. The design includes the inscription THE AUSTRALIAN STOCK HORSE, the 2014 year-date and The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark"
    http://www.perthmint.com.au/catalogue/the-australian-stock-horse-2014-1oz-silver-coin.aspx

    That's incorrect!

    The coin design does not include the words "THE AUSTRALIAN STOCK HORSE".

    The coin design has the words "AUSTRALIAN STOCK HORSE".

    Come on you guys at Perth, you can do better than this! Overhaul yourweb-site, with a fine tooth comb and...pay some attention to detail. :(

    Haha. Well if none of us buy the coins from the german dealer, I'm sure the prices will stabilize to reasonable levels.

    Maybe barcode stickers have different numbers.

    Otherwise there's gunna be a plethora of "For Sale - Card #1."

    Actually the fold out thingy is really handy. I have one on my desk at work where my ex-wife's pic was. SH has better legs. :p
