Ok then...getting back on topic the 2011 St George the Victorious Silver Bullion coin was not released by the CBR. Whether that is because of the price of silver not making it viable, or they had chosen to end the series in 2010 (can't see why they would) I don't know...but in answer to the...

The war of 1812 was between the US and the British Empire :)

It's not actually a scam. It gives you all the information it has to. If you buy it you get what they are selling in the brochure. A scam suggests that you either don't get anything for your money or you get something different from what they describe. Again, it all comes down to consumer...

I hear ya, but I DID manage to get off Reader's Digest mailing list eventually haha. The problem is that it's not just ONE list, when you somehow get into the system they have half a dozen lists that send crap out. I just kept sending them back with a "Return to sender - not at this address"...

Yeah, I get it. I was being a little facetious :) I just meant that in terms of an actual marketing campaign I didn't see an error. It is a legal tender coin, just that it's only in Nauru, as you said. Marketing is all about trying to sell something and it is always misleading to some degree in...

I get these from time to time and I know people who have never bought from Downies who get them. I'd say it's just a case of picking random areas and dropping to all. Nothing new. Did it actually have your name and address on it? Mine never do.

I don't see an error in the marketing aspect of this at all :D

Not sure what's with the egg shape on the others, can understand it for the baby one. Yeah, all Niue Island legal tender

That coin is released from the Bank of Taiwan but it is a Tuvalu coin, hence the Queen's head :)

If it's style you're after check out these beauties :D They're Niue Island issues.

There are 5 coins released so far in this series. The Red Back Spider, Blue Ringed Octopus, Great White Shark, Brown Snake and as of today Box Jellyfish :) I love this series, have managed to grab one of each and have put my order in for a jellyfish today. I just buy them because I like them...

It is a beautiful series :) I know you've already made your decision but as far as I can see the only coin you're missing up there is Canal's "Return of the Bucentaurn" coin. That was advertised in the latest Downies catalogue. I don't know a lot about this series but I do know there are...

Yep, the 2010 was released by the Bank of Russia on November 1st - then takes a couple of weeks roughly to reach distributors, although some do offer a bit earlier you won't actually get them until mid to late November. Same with the 2009 silver, so I'd say the 2011 will follow suit :)

The jellyfish hasn't been released...in fact it seems to be only speculation at this point that there is even going to be a jellyfish coin :)

This has become a truly globe-trotting thread haha

Thanks guys - I see Talisman are selling these Canadian $20 coins for $39, while Euro Collections have them for only $22. Mind you, ECI has a restriction of 2 per customer, whereas Talisman are encouraging people to buy in bulk with discounts offered...still, I think a couple of these would be...

Hi, I've only recently started stacking silver for investment, having collected various world coins for a while based on aesthetics for the most part. I came across this product recently Source: Apparently it is being issued in Canada at face value, which would seem like pretty good value...

These are on Euro Collections for A$108 and US$108...guess the exchange rate being what it is... http://www.eurocollections.com/store/product.asp?id=6473&tid=wtnw

Doubt they would have seen things rise so much so quickly to cover themselves from needing to do this at some point

I got this email from a coin dealer the other day...might have some importance here Dear Valued Customer, Perth Mint recently announced that they will be increasing their prices, due to the continuous rise in the spot price of silver. This will take effect from Tuesday 3 May 2011, and apply...
