    New 2015 $2 coin being released this monday, red colored coin ????

    Spot on Theox. What is so wrong with the distribution method like the 2014 Rememberence $2 coin ? Sold through dealers, in rolls, singles, available from RAM in carded format for $12.95, everyone can afford one, everyone is happy, dealers make a bit, collectors are happy. etc Perhaps what the...

    2015 $1 poppy ?

    That is just crazy. I don't think the market has settled down yet, and found the true supply and demand driven market price.

    New 2015 $2 coin being released this monday, red colored coin ????

    Ive been to several banks too, no luck. Probably the last few posts from James G & Garnet are correct - if you don't have someone on the inside, you've only got 2 chances (none and buckley's) Bit frustrating for those that aren't trying to flip it for a quick profit, but to collect them for the...

    Silver 25th Wedding Anniversary - ideas ?

    This year my wife and I will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. As everyone knows, that is the "SILVER" wedding anniversary. My wife has no interest in coins, numismatics, or PM other than the odd bit of jewellery (sound familiar ?) With my interest in silver generally, I cant let the...

    Perth Mint Sunburnt Country issue - 4 x 1oz rectangular coins

    I am wondering what members think of this new issue coming out from Perth Mint. Very limited mintage at 750. "Just another animal series" ? Or does the limited release and iconic theme give some reasonable potential for appreciation. Despite not being a fan of coloured coins, I quite like the...

    Niob Austria

    Very beautiful coins, lovely detail, and the colours are striking, without being too over-the-top.

    be carefully fake coins from thekingofcoins

    You need to be a little bit forensic on eBay. I always check a sellers previous trades and negative feedback. I buy regularly from some eBay sellers that are 100% reliable, fair, and simply great people. You just need to careful, and in many cases you can quickly "profile" a seller. The seller...

    Fake on Ebay Year of the Horse 1oz

    The description states that it is a "collector bullion coin and not Pure silver" But the whole thing is quite misleading and confusing. Makes you wonder how many of the bidders have read the description and understood it.

    Perth Mint Funnel-Web Spider silver bullion coin

    Really like the design Here on northern beaches of Sydney is "funnel web central" particularly in summer and particularly after rain (drives them out of their burrows" and the males go "wandering" looking for Mrs Right. Leave them and they will leave you alone (hopefully) What's this series...

    2015 Momento Mori medal - Pisces!

    I like the Ying yang fish for sure. I think I actually like the copper (because it doesn't have the weird smiling skull on the reverse). Any dealers in Australia likely to have them for sale?

    1940s pennies and dimes

    Nice little find. The threepences have some silver content 1910 to 1944: 92.5% (approx 24 will give you 1oz of silver) 1947 to 1964: 50% obviously the numis value will depend on condition A useful website is www.bluesheet.com.au Same site will help you value the pennies.

    Al Capone coin debuts with a 38 calibre bullet rim embedded

    My prediction for next in the series: Bonnie & Clyde or Jesse James. Either way this series looks a bit over the top, both in price and theme. The bullet doesn't make it for me. Just my opinion.

    crowns!

    '37 crowns were my entry into silver coin collecting, and still are a sentimental favorite. Just like the size and weight, and look good in quadrum cases. Have 3x 38's (one for each kid to inherit). Also pretty easy for a novice like me to rough grade - look for the wear on the cross on the top...

    Thunderbirds are go!

    Being a Thunderbirds fan from childhood, I like 'em. The first coin is a bit plain, but the series is impressive. Would have liked them a wee bit more if Miss Penelope was in the series. Also for me it was more about the ships than the puppets, so the craft should have had more visual prominence...
