I'd like to eventually acquire a Perth Mint Series II Mouse and Ox kilo silver coin (not mint). Besides the forum and eBay, are there other (Australian) sites I should monitor in case any come up for sale?
Yeah, I heard they were open to reminting. The coin show is on this weekend in Sydney, maybe I can have a word to their representative
Just gotta place a large order with Perth Mint. I'm sure they would be more than happy to remint them. Otherwise look out for it on German eBay. Plenty
Bought a few of both from PB about a year ago after an alleged remint so worth checking them again. KJC in Sydney also get in some previous year kilo coins every now and again. Amazon and Gumtree could be last on the list but picked up good deals on both for Lunars.
I did ask singapore distributor of pm about the minimum remint order. They told me pm not keen at all even order 30 pcs
Just keep an eye out on the regular distributors - if a large distributor orders enough, the kilogram size can be reminted. Talking about orders in the tonnes though, not the dozens or hundreds. Usually there is some overrun offered to smaller dealers. Basically don't pay a premium on a kilo bullion S2 Lunar until the series concludes.
