    I really like the design on this coin but hate the possibility of milk spots. I have a couple of tubes so I am hoping for the best.

    Surely you jest, even a novice like me wouldn't pay 30 to 50% over spot for the kangaroos.

    But If I wish really hard Upon a star, I can see how if one had 500 X 1kg silver bars one might want a mini box to help even out GSR calculations when doing a swap :)

    Or buy PM 10 oz bars cheaper and they too are just lumps of silver for serious silver buyers, or buy 1 oz bars cheaper or generic rounds cheaper! I dont get the appeal of this coin to have sold 9 and a half million already?

    Mind you given the growing north american stacker population numbers its probably less than one coin each.

    I'm inclined to agree with Fishtaco. The variety of animals surrounded milk spots has lost me.

    Box number 38,000+ have been sighted.

    Very close to 10 millions by now...

    Reports say mintage was initially planned to be 7.5 million (or maybe 5 million if 2016 is the first year), but demand is so strong that more will be produced:

    Wow...Only 7.5 million of them. These are a real rarity ! I better grab some boxes now while they are so cheap only $5 -$6 over spot (each ). I'm almost drowning myself in my dishwater with excitement. By the time silver reaches $30 and I've spent a thousand dollars on Jewellery Clothes I should see a return on these little gems in about 30 years....

    Here in EU they are one of the cheapest bullion coins.
