    Stick to the Kookas Ron. I picked up a 2012 kilo kook today... Just lovely.

    Well done getting these out so soon after the dragons. You must have the presses running 24x7!

    Hello Ron, Iam sure there are many who don't realise there are people such as Greg and Pauline who should be commended for their hard work,
    especially the effort they have put in helping our overseas members, with their orders.
    Regards Maggie.

    I'd rather see Perth Mint issue a coin celebrating native wildlife rather than a panda ... eew. :p

    As for Ron's stack, expect a photo of him standing in from of tonnes of silver and gold .... at work.

    Welcome Ron.

    I think we Aussies are lucky to have a world class mint in our own backyard. We are also lucky to live in a country that is one of the top few gold / silver producers. (Not to mention aluminium, copper, zinc...)

    Great that you can 'officially' represent the Perth Mint. Bet that probably took some negotiating!

    Hi Ron
    My question is why is Perth Mint sell 1 oz proof gold coins $1300 over spot and 1 oz proof silver coins only $70 over spot?
    Especially when PM 1oz gold proof coins never had history to be good investment as collectors item

    Yes but looks to me Perth Mint makes more profit on 1000 proof coins than 30,000 bullions, but when allocating coins only the turnover counts.
