I've enjoyed my kookaburras since I bought my first 2011 1oz birds. Expanding my horizons, I came upon some 2oz 2009 kookaburras, and what beauties they are!! The design is of course praised in other threads here, but in addition the size makes this a very good coin to bring around as a lucky...

I've been away from the board for a few weeks due to having moved temporarily to Germany, and since my net connections were not the best in the beginning, I only stopped by to read posts without logging on. I was excited to come to Germany, because online I've noticed there are a lot og German...

I was just wondering, what do the investors and stackers think about colored pandas? I see that some are merely colored while others seem to be colored and gilded. As a general rule, would these be more worth than the standard bullion of the year in question, or would they be worth less? Who is...

So, while looking for pandas I stumbled upon a strange animal that is definitely no panda, nor a unicorn, and I've been scratching my head trying to find it by more or less devious google searches, but with no luck.

My local coin store has on offer a 1995 proof 1oz silver panda at ca 480 USD. Since I am fairly new to the world of pandas, I thought I would check with the experts here. I believe it comes only in the plastic capsule, without the plastic around it. I have only seen a photo so far, so I have...

Hi guys! I realize that almost everything lunar is about the 2012 dragons at the moment, but as we wait for Sept. 1 to come around, I thought I'd post a question about a coin I recently added to my stack. As I mentioned in my intro, I have few chances to go to any coin stores, so I do most of...

Hi, everyone! I guess it's time to go from lurker to participant in this great forum. I started stacking in April, at the time when prices were at their highest, and at that time i didn't have the benefit of the wisdom of fellow stackers, so I felt quite intimitated, but determined to get...
