    Colorful coins

    That's a ridiculous statement. You seem to consider a coin a flop if it doesn't appreciate in value by 1000% on eBay, whereas most people (perhaps outside of this place) would consider any coin that sells out on the primary market a success. I know the Mints would mark selling out a success...

    Colorful coins

    The image on the coin is of a Chinese Lunar Dragon. If you visit Chinese new year festivities you will see this style. It is not meant to be a "fantasy fiction" style dragon

    Sydney Harbour Bridge

    I think I know the one you're talking about, but I don't have a photo of it. You don't have/can't borrow a camera?

    Mystery solved finally for Somalia Elephant fans- mintage numbers

    He's said it was written correspondence from the mint, isn't that enough or do you think he's a liar? :P Scanning a copy would make no difference. If he WAS lying he could easily photoshop a fake letterhead, etc :rolleyes:

    yet Another D&D to series, soon? Stark u happy? :-)

    The Devil was part of the endangered and extinct series, and they aren't what I'd call deadly or dangerous, more like grumpy and growly ;) I'm really struggling to think of another D&D animal that isn't a snake or spider really, that they haven't already done...can't imagine they'd do another...

    yet Another D&D to series, soon? Stark u happy? :-)

    Sorry, after you posted the Twitter stuff I stalked your account haha...first thing I thought of was the segway, not sure why ;) I definitely agree they need to do something different with this D&D series, but I'm a collector not a flipper so I'll still buy one :)

    Hey Bob, can I ask, in your Twitter profile pic, by any chance are you riding a segway in that shot? ;)

    yet Another D&D to series, soon? Stark u happy? :-)

    Well all flipping is a risk, you can't blame the series for that. Personally, I'm keen to see what they'll come up with next. Plenty of world coin series' have run longer than these, I don't feel there are too many, but they'll need to produce something special to get another hit, that's for...

    yet Another D&D to series, soon? Stark u happy? :-)

    So I guess this begs the question...what do you think the next one will be? I can't currently think of a sensible answer that isn't another snake or spider haha

    future-dated coins

    Personally I don't like the practice, as it seems each year more coins for next year are coming out earlier and earlier. It's totally for marketing and it obviously works so "stupid" would be a perspective thing I guess ;) To me the zombucks are a different matter because they're not coins...

    Melbourne ANDA Show

    Yeah I've got to say the location was superb. Very central, spacious, well presented. Caulfield looks like a homeless shelter by comparison, the presentation looks like a sunday country market there. I loved the way this ANDA was set up, but I agree that signage was a real problem. They...

    Melbourne ANDA Show

    They definitely were selling Mongolian Wildlife and Tiffany Glass. I didn't say you'd be able to pick one up at issue price, but I was hoping we could pick one up at a price less than the ridiculous prices they sell for on eBay :rolleyes: They had Tiffany from 2013, 2012 & 2011. I think 2013...

    Melbourne ANDA Show

    Just wondering if anyone is going to the show over the weekend? I'm thinking of checking it out, if anyone has been before what is to be expected? I figure at Etihad Stadium it will get a pretty decent crowd. I've also heard that CIT will have a stand there offering some of their Tiffany and...

    FORTUNA REDUX MERCURY

    It's not "like" that Polish coin...it IS that Polish coin. As far as I'm aware they are the ONLY someone to be giving that form a shot :)

    Uhoh

    Should it be pointed out that these don't seem to be actual coins? No denomination and no country of issue. Seems to me they are only medallions. Any douche with enough money can have a medallion made without needing govt approval

    SUPERMAN COINS!!!!!!!!!

    Try millions of dollars...Action Comics #1 sold for over 2 Million a couple of years ago. That being said though, a new coin with a picture of Superman on it is NOT an original Superman comic. You'll find that most comic book collectors don't HAVE TO HAVE every little piece of memorabillia that...

    Kookaburra 2014

    Well it is a kookaburra ;) There's only going to be so many ways to depict the same bird :) That being said I do like this design, the best in a couple of years at least!
