    Hi guys,

    Reading from another post got me thinking again about something I have been looking at for a while: semi-numi gold coins.
    There seem to be plenty of silver options, the kooks are a sure value and so are the lunars to a certain extend. There are also plenty of silver coins series.
    But I have found it harder to identify the semi-numi plays in gold.
    Apart from the lunars, I am not sure what coins qualify?
    The pandas were a decent play so far, but now that the purity and weight are gone, I am not sure if they still are?

    Apart from the lunars and pandas, what are other coins that you would consider as part of a semi-numi stacking approach?

    Thanks guys

    I can only think of pandas and lunars... not sure why the Kangaroos have no love.

    Natural nuggets.

    Increasingly rare and relatively cheap compared to fractional coins.

    Semi-numismatics are frequently used for stacking purposes. They are made of a metal of high purity with (by definition in Australian usage) half as much base metal as precious metal, beyond which it is called "bullion." Semi-numismatics do not contain milk spots.[2]
