Sounds a good idea but at this stage I do not intend to go into this heavily. I'm simply going to keep it as a hobby for the time being. Way to much uncertainty and headache for me I'm afraid. :)

Pete, quite honestly this story started with my intention to collect the silver Queen's Beasts simply because I like the theme. My intention was to frame and display them once I collected all 10. Then as I usually tend to do I started researching the gold/silver coin world and came accross...

Good god. Quite a lot of hassle in this hobby as well then. It looks like I might be best sticking to Kooks, Pandas and Queen's Beasts then. Is there a lot of interest in the 10oz coins or am I best sticking with the 1oz ones?

Thank you guys for your very helpful advice so far. It sounds like the world of silver and gold is not as simple and straight forward as it might first seem. I was half expecting that to be the case (if it was simple everyone would have been on the bandwagon). I started this as a hobby thanks...

I have just started in this area and was wondering if there are any sources of information that could start me off understanding the world of investing in silver (or gold). I am not aiming for short term investment so i dont expect to make a profit within a year or two. However i dont want to...

Thank you guys. I was looking to buy some Kookaburras and on the PerthMint website they're listed as $94 whereas other websites such as JMBullion and Provident metals sell them for $22 - $30. Any reason for such difference in price?

Hi all. I live in UK and I've just started the hobby of collecting (investing?) in silver coins (with intention to ocassionally buy a 1/4 oz gold one and some silver bars of various weights :D). The silver Lion of England from Queen's Beasts series has got me started. I have been reading quite a...

I sure hope so. 2 coins per year seems a better option in my opinion. Spending 40 on a silver coin every 6 months is reasonable enough. The lunars take 12 years because they are produced on the specific year. Whereas the Queen's Beasts do not have to abide to a timescale. Some people might...

On another note I can't believe that it's going to take 10 years to complete this collection:rolleyes:

Could be true. I have only just started this hobby so am not very familiar with the working methods of RM. I do hope that is the case though as I would love to get a 1/4 oz coin.

I got a silver one and qould have liked to get a 1/4 oz gold one but for some reason both of them have gone from the RMB site. The silver piece is truly stunning nicely enclosed in a screwtop capsule.

I quite like to buy this one but not sure if it is worth considering the $20 shipping fee to UK?
