^This. Though I have been buying too many numismatic coins recently, need to save up some money to buy some more low priced bullion coins.

Everyone goes through this. Then most try to stop but start buying numis again. bullion is just a gateway drug to the hard numis drug. U should buy some numis to keep silver fun. its a gamble that you cant really lose. If u just buy bullion and nothing happens with the silver price for quite some time u might be put off and sell. But if u buy bullion and numis coins you are more likely to say in the game for longer.

How hard is it for them to just remove USD from being accepted on the current platform? They aren't stupid, they know they are making that extra 10% or so on every sale to someone in the US. It couldn't take their web people more than 5 minutes to fix that and if it does they should fire them and get new web people.wsd_collector said:db23 said:Seems like Downies is the only one charging GST even to buyers outside of Australia.
Perth's site doesn't charge GST to people in the US and Direct Coins removes it once you enter a non-Australia shipping address. Also gotta love the fact that Downies doesn't do a Forex conversion on their site, I'm sure they'd much prefer to sell them all overseas on their site as they'd make more money that way.
The Downies site was removing GST at the end of checkout as well for non Australian buyers. At least for us Canadians anyways...I found it funny that Downies charges you the same amount in USD if you have a US shipping address, but everyone else gets charged that $ amount in AUD. Effectively, Americans pay an almost 10% extra when shopping at Downies.
This and the free shipping is why I waited and ordered a few from Perth Mint.
On the bright side, net amount isnt really 10%, Canadians get charged $30 in shipping, the US gets charged an extra 10% but get free shipping.
I was wasting time trying to get both free shipping and 10% but they sold out by then.

This is when Donald Duck first started out. If you remember the Simpson's, Bart and Homer looked different.

Wow, That brought back memories. That looks exactly like Donald on the gold and silver. Thanks for posting.... It made my night..
I visited Perth Mint last Sunday and saw that they have one gold Micky on display, was tempted to get it but thinking that I won't be able to collect the entire series anyway, don't want to combat on the net every time there is a new release with no garantee that I will get it, so I gave up, but I'm still collecting the silver version.

I believe there is 8 in the set,the first two coins that have been issued are dating the characters back to the first cartoons. The next 6 are evidently colored examples of the newer characters.
Perhaps the NZmint rep thats on here might chime in with whats coming out.
There may not be the same amount of charm to the newer 6,just my opinion

First time I watched it was just a couple months back upon learning about the 80th anniversary of the coin coming out...I had however seen steamboat Willie many years ago, as its more widely presented even in present day through parodys parody's like the Simpsons itchy and scratchy and various others. I did enjoy watching both though!

I can confirm Donald duck is the last coin in the Vintage Disney coins series.
The series was a 2 parter; Steamboat Willie, and Donald Duck.
There will be other Disney coins coming from NZ Mint, they will be part of the Disney Series as a whole, but not specifically part of the Vintage Series.
I'm not sure how much info I am allowed to give on those, so I will leave the rest to Brent.
The following is also available publically on the Perth Mint website:

Only 2 gold. The following is silver.
