There has got to be at least 10-15 people here that stack silver (and gold) wouldn't you think , what percentage is that?

I am Looking forward to the "horsey" too.. Cool posts here :D

I think I would have to agree with you for the most part , I have dealt with the Aus lunar coins for many years , part of the decline is due to flat silver prices but for for the most part I think you are correct with milking the dragons to death and the shady mintage policies such as with the...

Unfortunately these are both large ds, everyone has their own method of distinction but I just look at the d where the small slanted twig meets the straight line on the d and it is very easy to tell . I hope this helps.

Yes there is some really nice 68s out there , people really seem to prefer the 69s but as mentioned 68s could become more sought after in the future as supply gets depleted on some of the more rare ones.

Hi RP , Thanks for your kind words and for resurrecting this thread. Also a big thanks to JC8888..... , Thor , silver fever , Bassist , whinfell and everyone who contributed unbiased thoughts and info on this. I have not been on the forums for a while but I wanted to reply to this. Yes it was...

w:11 can i just post this here or do I need to register?

What shipping company ships packages international from the USA for $8.00 with tracking?? I have never seen that.

Since the PM reminted The whole 2 0z proof set (the first 6 so far) it seems they will remint any amount of the proofs as they want , just in different packaging so it is unlikely they will remint the 3 coin proof sets, they certainly could remint any of them in different packaging I guess...

it is hard to tell from pictures but it looks like sterling to me. A SG test would but you could also make a small nic with a sharp object or file on and inconspicuous part and if it is plated you will see the base metal underneath, if it is fairly soft and not plated I would assume it is...

While the Perth mint has pulled some really dirty tricks and even outright dishonesty in my opinion , in the last year or so, The policy on the kilo lunars has been quite clear that they can remint until the end of the series, part of the reason I do not buy the kilo lunars unless very close to...

actually ebay does not accept registered mail the tracking is only available until it leaves the country, if there is a problem it can be investigated by the USPS but it can take up to 90 days at that point you money and probably coin are long gone with a paypal /ebay chargeback, you can send...

I totally agree you should apologise , it is not a bad price either , you should do more research before you buy , and if you opened a case you may not realize but it does affect a seller and to go on a public forum like this about it before you get the facts is not cool IMHO , well I hope you...

I know just being silly!

Not sure how this dog coin fits into this thread but it looks authentic and as such is 1 oz 999 silver (although as I say that I am thinking how can a colored coin be 999 silver?) now that I think about it are colored coins that say 999 silver deceptive?

Iridium is used as an alloy in platinum jewelry and sometimes palladium, it is also used in spark plugs and probably several other industrial apps like catalyst , never heard of it alloyed with gold.

OH that makes sense , at first I thought DUh! Wow Iridium Jewelry I have been out of the loop for a bit, busy with my new baby girl (6 months now) I will have to ask my casting guy about it see if I can make something with it. Do you know what it is alloyed with?

Iridium Jewelry? I have not heard of Iridium jewelry as it is usually too brittle, it is a very common alloy with platinum jewelry usually no more than %15 and the other is Rhodium.

Holy Smokes , Nice find EM and as usual thanks for sharing! I cant believe knowone guessed iridium considering it is the name of the thread. I am no expert on PGMs , but I think this alloy is very rare as I do not think Iridium and gold are that heavily associated and even more surprising is...

Thanks Peter really looking forward to the new edition!
