The series is dead, sadly.

It's all about cycles, I think. CIT's Mongolian Wildlife series suffered from price appreciation on the early issues. On the surface that seemed pretty cool, but many collectors have the mentality that if they can't collect a whole series, they won't collect any of it, and as a result, pricing...

The pricing 'performance' is very annoying, I totally agree. The same seems to be true of some Royal Canadian Mint issues, where we see a rapid escalation in price on some items (Carousel, Enterprise, etc.), followed by a crash back down. Likewise the coloured 50p coins from the Royal Mint. Huge...

Hi all. We recently did a guide to the Mint of Poland mythology coins which has been popular and have added ones for the Moon Landing anniversary, and the D-Day 75th anniversary. Thinking about some others between now and the end of the year and wondered if there was anything that people felt...

First things first, If I say in an article I like a design, I like a design. I don't gush, I say it how I see it. and I like this coin a lot. You can pick apart elements of this design, or any other, but it's an opinion and this is a small disc of metal with all the constraints that brings. I'm...

They are produced by CIT and as you say, struck by BH Mayer. As for supply, Powercoin had orders that totaled up to ten times the mintage. The allocation was because of over subscription, not a marketing ploy. I love this series. Such a simple idea, but brilliantly executed.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2016-5-oz-Silver-Colorized-Lunar-Monkey-Coin-812-Mintage-/272713465166 It's out there but mintage was low.

Another of their limited run 1 oz silver bullion coins, this one commemorating the Falklands War. Mintage capped at 50,000. http://agaunews.com/pobjoy-launches-falkland-islands-britannia-bullion-coin/

http://agaunews.com/queens-beasts-proof-unicorn-of-scotland-launches/ Goes without saying it's another beautiful coin, but this is the first time it's debuted in proof form first. Heard in Berlin this might happen, but surprised it's the case regardless. Usual sizes.

A lot of work but it's finally out of my hair. ;) http://agaunews.com/2017-year-rooster-guide-lunar-coins/

Issued for Niue, there will be 250,000 silver and 30,000 gold, both one-ounce formats. http://agaunews.com/world-exclusive-nz-mint-surprises-darth-vader-gold-silver-bullion-coins-niue/

Such a simple thing to age the gildiing, but very effective in this case.
