Hi, Can someone in Australia please browse the perth mint site and let me know what price this is listed at? Looks like they're not allowing direct orders outside australia, but supposedly APMEX will have some eventually. TIA...

I'm tempted to get both this and the 2oz gold one . . . I probably would have already pulled the trigger, but right now I'm bummed that their site won't let me order the 25th anniversary 1/2 oz platinum koala proof :(

I definitely prefer cast bars over minted bars. I wish I could find Pd and Pt cast bars but I assume the higher melting point would make that difficult to mass produce, I've never seen one.

Tulvig is pretty well known here in the states, and there are a lot of people who either love them or hate them. It is true that many people complain about them online (think RSC). Karen and Hannes are the two you almost always deal with (phone or email) so that's why many of the online...

The next time I place an order for airtites, I will include the x38mm for my polar bears, they are an *almost* perfect fit at worst. At best, some have reported that they totally close around the coin for them but the foam ring is thinner than the coin, which is not an issue for me...

By the way, those pyramids are awesome!

Would you consider maybe doing 5 gram gold "cap stones" to fit on top of those silver pyramids?

Would *LOVE* to get my hands on these! This is quickly becoming my new favorite SS thread :)

I sure wish I could find the Emus here in the States ... somewhere besides eBay I mean.

Thanks dcau1, very crisp/clear HD video. I left you a video response to show your the one I have, not quite as clear through the PCGS slab, but I'm hoping it shows well enough that the slabbed Britannias appear to have escaped the scuffs/scrapes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZzApd20S_c

I need to get my lighting sorted before posting a few pictures, but I did receive my Britannias and my Silver MS69 has no scuffs that I can find. No issues with the gold one either.

Ultimately it's not that big a deal, true. I would take milk spotty maples over shiny fake coins, but I would take shiny libertads over milkspotty maples, in hindsight.

Ha! I will try "the clear stuff" then . . . thanks!

I'd want to use it to try to remove milk spots off my maples. Jewelry cloth and a dip in e*Z*est Coin cleaner works to a degree, but it's so time consuming and the results aren't always the best. If you have silver coins with milk spots and care to share pics, please reply to the thread with...
