I picked up two of these. I'm hopeful that it experiences the "first coin craze" and I can partially subsidize my keeper coin. Like other posters I think it stands to be a little overwhelming that there are 60 in total but the ATB series doesn't seem to be fading yet and those are similarly...

Very nice! Those are amazing.

I can't wait either. Last I heard they were supposed to start shipping mid-November. Hopefully we don't get another delay notice.

I'm not sure if it's even possible to make the comparison but there aren't many Lunar coins that can beat the Perth series--this one might do it. Again, this might be an apples to oranges comparison but it says a lot for the beauty here.

Thanks for the info. I'm not too concerned, it's just my impatience setting in. I've never had a coin quite like the Meso so I'm getting antsy.

I'd love to jump on this coin except I'm already in over $350 on the Mesopotamia Imperial Art series coin. Pre-ordered it on Oct 5th and still haven't received word of when it is being shipped. So far have been notified of one delay. Has anyone ordered from First Coin before or is anyone in...

I'm already into two high-risk/reward gambles that I'm waiting patiently to see results on. I don't have the pellets to dive into another one yet, although if things were different I'd love one of these. Is this, like you said, a series? I wasn't able to find any information on that. The...

I agree, it does look a bit odd.

Source: These are pricey but amazing. Anybody taken the plunge?

Nice flips! That's my same thought on the 70s vs 69s.

Wow, excellent and thorough explanation--foolishly I guess on my own, I would have never made the connection between the wear and tear on a die to the quality of the coin. Thanks for taking the time to put it together and based on the facts you present I'm glad I asked. I'm also glad to hear...

As I'm getting more into graded and semi-numi coins I've been wondering what the significance is of slabbed coins when they're designated as early strike/release. First of all is there a difference between early strike and early release designation and why does it matter? Also, and maybe...

Yes good point. I was only thinking of the 1 oz even then I suppose it would be difficult.

Is there any possibility that the weight and fineness will be stamped on the side like the ATBs?
