I must confess my ignorance concerning the country of Tuvalu but I like the look of the coin.Just received an email from Silvertowne.com about Tuvalu Bald Eagle from Perth Mint. Figure the people here know a ton more about Perth Mint than I ever will. Coin is very pricey but limited to five thousand. Does Perth churn out coins for small countries?
Last week received a couple of the 5oz silver proof ultra-high relief/piedfort American Bald Eagle (mintage 1500) from Talisman Coins... "This noble bald eagle is struck in ultra high, medallic relief, with a frosted cameo proof finish, and is a piedfort (extra-thick coin), measuring a substantial 12.50 (1/2 inch!!!) mm thick!" Pictured also is a 1 oz silver proof Chinggis Khaan (Mintage 1000). Cheers, Luker
