I was shocked the first time I found how much I had to pay for the currency conversion, but for my next purchase I found I could tell paypal to charge me in usd instead. That way I get the currency prices of my local bank which tend to be much more reasonable. Don't know how that would work in...

Thanks for sharing your photos, Boyou! Great idea! So far I have no system for keeping my coins, so I like to see how you do it. Also nice to see so the complete collection! Cool!

Holler, holler... I would definitely like to see some pictures, Boyou! Well done on completing your collection of the two full sets!

Haha, that actually gave me a laugh. Are they very commona all over Australia? Do people ever make pets of them? I guess we might be venturing a bit off topic here, but they seem like cool birds to have around. I'm a fan of both the real bird and the silver kook. I will show the kids some...

$80 for 2oz 2011 is not bad, but since the spot currently is under $30, I guess it's still quite a premium. Wish I had some of them, but I got a bunch of the 1oz instead, as that's what was available to me. Yes, it's good to check back on the development of the prices. Let's see how it goes!

Wouldn't you then say that the 2oz would be a better value, since the mintage of the 1oz generally is much higher? I haven't seen all of the kooks yet, only in photos. Do they tent to get a bit too similar to generate popularity and interest, or do they look better when you see them in your hand?

Man, that is encouraging to hear!! Good on you! How I wish I could just skip the regular Christmas presents this year and give people silver. The coins are beautiful, and the value is much better in the long run compared to the usual trinkets we tend to exchange. I've seen elsewhere, and heard...

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...

Maybe that tao will now have to be the 2009/2012 tao of big bears with cubs? Thanks to Yennus' inspiration and this site, I also have some 5 oz pandas, and I really love the big shiny coins! Wish I could go for the 12 oz also, but for now I think that will be a dream.

Thanks for posting the lists and recommendations! I noticed that Badon mentions that all lunars are good coins to buy at the moment. I've come across a set of 4 2010 lunar tigers in the shops here in Germany. It has the flower, the round, the rectangle and the color in a leather case. The price...

I like simplicity! I think i will try to collect one of those. The tao of fishball!

Two good answers. So what other taos can we identify based on things like bamboo backgrounds and such elements?

Nice question, Thor! I want to know more about the taos also. First I thought a tao had to have 10 years like 1991-2000, but then came the 2009-2011, so what exactly is a tao?

Thanks, Anthony! I would pick them all up if I had the funds, but I will definitely buy some. The comparison to spot was more to show that I think the price of 2011 still is reasonable at 27 % higher than spot when comparing to what we are prepared to pay for other years, and still feel it's...

Here are the current German prices in Euro and USD and their price compared to silver spot price. I think 27 % over spot is good compared to the prices of the other bullion coins, but if the silver price goes to usd 25 next week, the picture changes. I see the 2011 more as an alternative to the...

Here in Germany the best offer is 25 % over spot. Do you think that this is also too much to pay for a bullion coin with 6 million mintage?

Hello, and welcome to the panda forum, pokerface! Nice to see new posters, I like a little bit of action here. It seems that everyone is out surfing or something. :) Come to thnk of it, I never saw a surfing panda. Yennus?
