Swan has lost a bit of lustre for me. Not the coins, i should stress. Beautiful coins.
Apmex have ditched their 2017 clear intention of a 3 year series. Now saying 5, with option open to continue well beyond.
Not a problem ordinarily. Any intention to extend an attractive bullion series is welcome. But they will also intend to continue the high levels of premium within days/hours of launch. Each and every year. Until the year when buyer sentiment begins to grow tired of that.
That alone will decide for Apmex how long to keep the series going. One of the drawbacks to a commissioned series. At least if it was up to Perth, they would have stuck to the announced planned run of 3 years.
