Hi all, just wanted to get some opinions from fellow stackers and collectors. I’ve been wanting to start collecting the Perth lunar series sets now, but am trying to decide between going for the 1oz which is more popular but common, or 1/2oz sets with less demand but lower mintages. My initial...

i'm a relatively new stacker, but my strategy for my stack is more or less: 10oz bars (i really like perth mint here) and 1oz gov mint rolls (ASE mainly) for weight kooks and lunars for flipping as a collector, i'm also interested in completing the lunar/kook sets myself, but thats more for me...

does anyone know when the 2016 monkey privy kooks will be released?

I used a normal digital kitchen scale. I suspected it might not be as accurate so I tried weighing my silver coins and it was correctly showing 31g. Am not so much worried about it being off 5g, just worried it might be a fake bar or something.

No it wasn't. But the seller has offered to refund me so no issues there, though he said this was a common issue with Perth Mint (really?). Just disappointed really, and now afraid of it appearing on my other kooks or lunars.

Hi everyone, I just received a 1992 Kook in original square capsule I got off eBay today in the mail, and found a huge blue spot on the corner of the coin. Is this normal for such coins? Feels alarming that our semi numis can develop milk spots along with blue ink spots.

Hi all, Sorry if this question has been asked and answered before, was not able to really find the answer I was looking for aside from the generic Perth Mint site which didn't really answer the specifics for kook sets. I know that there isn't really a difference between the specimen sets from...
