I just realised we "know" each other outside of this forum. I am the one that sent you the Suriname coins!

Actually the original poster is from the UK, so probably the best comparison would be Britannias. Personally I don't think they would be worth much of a premium over Britannias, but fun to own as a novelty.

I finally got my 2018 silver Krugerrands out. I bought 5 and had put them straight into capsules. However, somewhere along the chain some idiot has put their finger print all over 2 of the coins which has caused the milky film I was talking about. You can see the finger print as clear as day...

That is a good price. I'll post some photos when I get home and dig them out, but that will be several weeks from now. I think I put them in capsules, I forget now. I live in a high humidity location not sure if that has an impact or not.

I bought a few 2018 ones from a bullion shop in Singapore for $25 each. They developed a milky 'film' quite quickly. Not spots like older maples, but a film over a large part of the coin. Was not impressed. Maybe I got a bad bunch, I don't know.

Thanks for running the auction and posting feedback on it. It is a format I have been interested in. As I mentioned in the sales thread, I did not bid mainly because I was not familiar with most of the coins, the one I thought I knew something about seemed priced very high that I figured there...

I bought capsules for all the 1 oz coins I bought at the same time. Then I stupidly put the 2 oz Libertad in the same bubble pack as the 1 oz coins in capsules and walked around for an hour. Now there is a scratch on the Libertad the exact shape and size as one of the 1 oz capsules. Silly...

No, I didn't, but I am liking the 2 oz so much I might go back to Bullion Star tomorrow and get the 5 oz before I fly out of Changi. Just need to find a way to protect it, I found a tiny mark on my 2 oz already which is my fault for how I carried it out of the shop.

This beautiful 2 oz Libertad. The design is so much nicer on the larger 2 oz coin. The flash makes it look like there is some toning or something around the edges, but there is not. Such a beautiful coin.

Picked up a roll of these little beauties recently. I quite like them in hand. The story behind them is interesting, they won't be making anymore of these. The only ones I could find on Ebay were AUD$51.50 delivered. I might sell a few to offset my cost, will put up something in the...

Was a short dip.

Neither the Ainslie nor ABC website shows specific years for the maples - as an example. The ABC site does say "PLEASE NOTE: year and design of coin may vary from image shown." as it is showing a 2018 maple. The Ainslie site is silent about what year the maple coin you buy will be, the picture...

For a variety of personal reasons, I have avoided buying anything associated with the USA. The eagle is such a well known symbol of that country, I guess I was essentially commenting that in my mind I was throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I have seen that before and always find it...
