Number 2 appeared in May this year, and number 1 was around the same time in 2019, so I think we're a few months away from any real news.

Different design from previous years. The reverse shows the iconic Lion of Lucerne, one of the most famous monuments in Switzerland, a rock relief in the medieval part of the city dating to 1821, commemorating the Swiss Guards who were massacred in 1792 in a French Revolution battle. Stats...

lol definitely. But like you said the price has gone up after release, even though the coin is still available (I'm surprised it hasn't sold out).

The reiief is very nice, and the chameleon coating makes it "pop." I'm not crazy about the acrylic display, though. I would have preferred a wooden case, but overall a beautiful coin.

New series available (silver and gold) October 28 from APMEX. Looks OK and not expensive (so far :)) Blurb: "7 Wonders of the Ancient World APMEX is proud to present the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World series. This exciting series will include seven releases featuring limited mintages of 7,777...

Haven't seen this anywhere but on the East India site, but it's a lovely design. Stats: First issue in 6 coin series Composition: .999 Ag Diameter : 38.61mm Issue Limit : 2500 Blurb from EIC: "The first coin in this magnificent series represents Victory, perhaps one of the most prominent...

Greece is releasing two new coins to commemorate 2,500 years since the battle of Thermopylae. There's a 2 Euro coin as well (different design), but the 10 Euro looks more interesting. It says release is in November but already seeing some online (as well as eBay), but prices look a little high...

lol Yeah, I don't think they are shying away from making the price match the presentation despite the current state of affairs with the world. With the presentation "case" (not box) as an example, they are obviously going after a very select type of collector with this. But on the other hand...

I know the design won't be to everyone's taste, but it is very striking and looks beautifully done. And with the repeated themes that most mints keep using for their high end coins these days, it is a welcome change in something very unique. Being 5 oz should give it a nice weight as well. It...

Only seems to be available from PowerCoin. Intricate, unique, and (IMHO) beautiful design. Currently at $582.74 USD. Antique finish in wooden case with COA, 333 mintage, and a 65 mm diameter. Images borrowed from PowerCoin:

The way to find new releases is to always be looking. No joke. Some of the stores I mentioned above are the biggest and most well known, and as such usually post new coins first; they will some times list upcoming items before they go on sale too. The trick is, once you see a coin go live then...

Outside of forums like this (there are others, like on reddit), the best places are the mint websites themselves or the most popular stores. You'll hear people talk about "Mik" as well who runs a popular coin site https://agaunews.com/. That site is always positive on reviews though, and may...

I like it, but couldn't find any videos to get a closer look at the level of detail, so the price turned me off on buying.

John Mercanti (obverse) and Don Everhart (reverse) joint design: 1500 mintage, 38 mm diameter. What do you think?

I picked one up, too. Mintage is too high at 4k, but still a lovely coin.

And they've now released a second issue: SCYLLA AND CHARYBDIS

I'm a fan of theirs, but I think each second issue of their series is never as good as the first. IMO there is always something a little off with their follow-ups: look at Warriors: Ariowit ("veiny") and Germania 2020 ("cartoon cleavage"). I was a potential pass on Fafnir, but I like the 2 oz.

Germania Mint will be releasing the first of their Germania Beasts series "Fafnir" in August. Originally, they had two variants announced (1 oz silver BU with 25k mintage and Geminus 2 x 1 oz Limited Edition with 500 mintage) but they've added a third variant: 2 oz Silver BU with 999 mintage...

Couldn't be :D

PM did not sell directly.
