    Nice coin....will add this one to the wish list too. Now just need to win x-lotto. In relation to some of the above comments regarding milk spots....it would appear that this issue is across the board including our very own Perth Mint. As frustrating as it is...it looks like milk spots are...

    setting up a we buy gold and silver company

    Yeh, I know its called a "second hand dealers license" , I was just being lazy by calling it a license :) Like I'm sure your already aware, the police and ATO are monitoring dealers on a regular basis and as a result the above recording process that you stated is pretty much a minimum standard...

    setting up a we buy gold and silver company

    Just be cautious when dealing with dealers that offer over spot for scrap gold......some charge for testing, charge an admin fee....and before you know it, your back to spot or a little less. Its all an advertising gimmick to get people in the door.....at the end of the day most dealers would...

    Lunar with privy

    bullion mintage is only 300000 Privy mintage is ..... who cares - for the hand full of privy lovers, I mean no offence :) You can't combined the two as the privy carries a lower premium due to its lack of popularity. As spanner...stated earlier the privy was more of an overseas fetish and has...

    Perth Mint Funnel-Web Spider silver bullion coin

    Not sure why they changed the finish from a frosted finish as per the image released to this proof like finish. Maybe we could get Ron to explain. I actually didn't mind the frosted finish for a bullion coin.

    Risks involved with posting metal to dealer before payment?

    When did the so called "reputable dealer" receive your bullion. What excuses are they using... I'm sorry but anything longer than 48 hours is not acceptable. Considering dealers only give you 24 hours to pay once you have placed and locked in a price.....why should you have to wait longer than...
