    Dont matter where you got them from, any marked rounds or rounds you are not happy with will be replaced. We would prefer to replace them than have sub standard rounds out and about.

    Received mine today. :) They are great! :) And I like that coins are sealed in plastic bags.

    I think that few on mine has some black spots as well on the edges.

    Anyway, keep up doing the good work! :)

    Next design go's to the mint very soon. Still selling "The Reaper" with sales coming thru everyday. When we start minting the next round sales for Reapers will be stopped.

    Due to heaps of new customers coming in via email, we are starting a general mailing list, this will go out once a week and contain bargains to be had and also news on whats going on.
    If anyone wants to be on our mailing list, send us your email and we will add you.

    "World leaders" coming soon.

    Can we know if Reaper will be or had been minted to the limit of 8888 as previously stated?
    Will the next coin maintain the same mintage number?
    Will all the coin maintain the same smooth rim design?
    Keep up the good work with the packaging of capsule & sealed in plastic.
    That was nicely done.

    Eager to see the next design but also eager to see a more competitive pricing for the next round.
    All the best!

    Smooth Rim is almost guaranteed. It costs $ to buy a new collar with a different Rim pattern.

    Gday, the mintage of 8888 was a maximum that we would not mint over, we will declare the final mintage in due course.
    We will maintain a maximum mintage of 8888, however do not expect to reach that number.
    Yes, while we mint here in Melbourne the rim will remain the same.
    Slippery little suckers in that plastic!! But helps protect the capsules from scratching during shipping.
    Thank you.
    The 4 rounds in the 'Series of Dissent' will all be Australian made, therefore a bit more expensive. Double struck and hand polished dont come cheap. Targeting the high end of the market see's lots of orders but low volume, in essence this is what we wanted for this series, keep it exclusive.
    There are projects to come after the series of dissent. One project in particular Iam looking at sending overseas/offshore to be pumped out as bullion and not really a collectors piece. These will be much more closer to spot and mintage unlimited in number, but a limited time frame of about 4 months.
    We will continue to brand our own rounds both here and overseas so there is a mixture of upper end and cheaper end products to choose from.
    One thing that will prevail thru all our products is nasty, politically incorrect, vile, disgusting, distasteful and contentious designs which step outside the square. Lots of mints like animals, 90% of rounds on the market have an animal depicted on it, we like animals too - Butchered - maybe we should do a sheep, lol.
    Thank you for your questions and feedback, Iceblue.

    Exactly. Have enough of them although some are really nice. :) :)

    But beware - showing butchered animals will mean "war" with all animal protecting groups, etc.
    Even the people who eat meat don't like to see butchered animals.

    Well more controversy means bigger value for those who will buy the coins. :)

    I would love to see series (if somebody will copy my idea please send me 000001 coin :p ). On the reverse side 2 doves representing the "peace". With olive "branch" in their beaks. On the front side: Iraq and bellow number of civil casualties. Each coin of the series representing another country (Syria, Bosnia, etc).

    All showing how international "community" (e.g. UN) failed.

    Got some more of these in the mail today, and I must congratulate the team for the quality. They really are consistently top notch. :)

    Thanks Bordsilver. Yes the mint does a great job!
    Only a few weeks left and these will cease to be minted. We will have a little bit of stock here but once gone they are gone.
    We are going to have a competition for the last few weeks, those that have already purchased a 'Reaper' will get a chance to WIN one, posted GLOBALLY.
    More details this weekend, is my weekend off from the cows!!!!!

    My Reaper rounds arrived today and i have to say they are the best! no marks, spots or edge dings near perfect.

    I am really looking forward to the next in the series but the killer here in the UK is the extra $30 in delivery charges that the royal mail take in peyment for delivery at this end.

    No way around this i'm afraid as delivery is outside the EU.

    Very happy with the Reaper Keep up the good work.

    Will the Obverse (Back) of the round be the same for the whole series? ie. the pirates head.

    Stack 'em.

    Say that again ... the Royal Mail charges $30 to deliver at your end??? :eek:

    Or are you referring to collection of VAT?
