    Six versions, one and five ounce gold and silver, a 1oz gilded and a 1/10oz BU gold. All versions at the link. None cheap though..

    Will probably be another opinion divider, but it isn't a generic design and its grown on me. We really don't need another goats standing around in a field or mountain design.

    Wool ewe please not give me that over-the-shoulder-come-hither look... The shear cheek.

    With the creepy eyes and skull-like face, I think people will love or hate the coin. I am in the latter category. However, I am working on a theory that distinctive (love/hate) coins can be a very good investment. My theory is just based upon some recent observations of coins and I will need to see other similar examples perform well first. This coin would be a good one for me to watch.

    It's like a Zombucks Currency of The Apocalypse sheep.

    If Duane's consistent he should sue them like the did with Gray.

    Just received my RM lunar goat proof silver. The actual coin looks much better than the rendered image.

    I like it and will buy the 1oz proof, I think the sheep looks slightly menacing,something different from all those goats.

    I think the photography made it look very nice.
