I am a total newbie when it comes to grading. I won this 5oz silver singapore tiger proof for $187.50 usd though and it's in pretty immaculate condition. Considering I got it for such a cheap price, I was wondering if I should spend a little extra to get it graded and hope I get lucky on a...

ok, so customs is no big deal apparently. It's just the international shipping costs that are driving up the prices going from USA to Aussieland

What IS the cost of customs going in to aussieland? I see everyone griping about it but I've not actually seen the cost..

Exactly!! The further away from the source you get the higher the premium. You are trying to escape an inevitability of the way the market has constructed itself. You live in the wrong physical location...but everyone around you has the same problem. You can try to get around it but we...

NO JUST NO. Do not start overreacting and acting like kookaburras are now an ASE. That is ABSURD. TOTALLY ABSURD. In a normal month there are 5-10x more of a single year ASE sold than the entire 300,000 or even 500,000 mintage kookaburra. Plus the eagles don't come in capsules so they get...

what does that mean? I am unfamiliar with the expression.

I see the problem, it just doesn't bother me. I even think it's possible this could help the kookaburra market by bringing new blood in to the market which will drive them to seek out the coins that aren't being freshly minted. There is a betrayal involved, no doubt. I just think the emotion...

I agree that all those things you said are all crappy things to do. As a texan, I'd still love to have the perth mint in my country instead of our silver eagle churning facility.

Apparently I fail at writing because I thought I just stated I am okay with them reminting all the kookaburra years as long as they don't flood the market all at once.

Alright, I read through a few of those posts and after reading ron's comments I am actually fine with this. The reminting is limited to kookaburra 1oz coins and won't effect the lunar series ever. The minting is still capped at 300,000. Granted, I don't own a whole truck load of old...

You can't reliably sell cheap bullion if you can't reliably get cheap bullion. The price would have to always be going up and down in wild spikes in a predictable way. Or it would have to keep going straight up and then calling it cheap would be a technicality.
