Intrinsic Tender XAG typeset

Gold Stackers is the owner of the dies, and they are at the Gold Stackers office on display, but without the matching collars they are useless. Permanent static display at the office along with one round to match each die. No intention of destroying or defacing them, because they are works of art in themselves. It's possible the XAG side dies might get used again one day with a new design, but the Silver Stackers penny and shilling dies are permanently retired.

Wow. Didn't realise the double mirrors were only a mintage of 12.
Maybe in 50 years it will be like the 1967 swan/goose coin.
Back into the safe deposit this one goes.

I've seen these on eBay in the US and Germany, and I know there's a bunch in Malaysia and Singapore.

Felt bad off the bat with the double digit mintages of a couple of those - we produced the four combinations of the Ram with the best of intentions, but the mirror Ram just wouldn't strike properly, and we culled the frosted/mirror Ram because of minting costs resulting in low sales.

The double frosted Ram has a mintage of only 200 - yet it was only $2 dearer than the Buffalo - which has a current mintage of 14,000 at the moment, with more to come before the 2013 die is retired. $2 made a big difference to market acceptance.

Need clarification here GP.

Was the mintage of the double-frosted Ram 200 or 300?

What you said in the above post doesn't agree with what you said here... http://forums.silverstackers.com/message-474707.html#p474707
 
Thread updated with definitive mintages. ALL of the Penny/Shilling rounds are closed mintages, as is the 2013 Buffalo.

Here's the Penny/Shilling/XAG dies on display at the Gold Stackers office. They're on the bottom shelf of our display cabinet.

Announcements on 2014 XAG rounds will be made in October.
 
Also for the record:

Silver Stackers 10oz stacker bars (Materion) - 1000 made, closed
Silver Stackers 1kg cast bars (SBA) - 205 made, not currently in production
Silver Stackers 100oz cast bars (SBA) - 19 made, not currently in production
 
Does anyone outside of GP and CK have a completed set?

I don't have a double mirror ram but do have both types of the mirror/frosted.

Willing to negotiate a swap with anyone who has more than 1 double mirror ram to trade the coin/s they are missing so that both them and myself can complete the set.

Can make up the difference in coins, fiat, or even free gold detecting outings including lessons and free IR. :D
 
any combi run on copper GP?

like double XAG and double ram heads for display gifts

sbss copper rounds were selling much more than silver rounds :) last time.

Personally I'm not a fan of Australian designs on overseas manufactured bullion. If we can get them made in Australia at an acceptable price, we will release more Australian designs.

We're not going to release US minted bullion masquerading as Australian produced rounds.
 
They were minted in Australia. The Buffalo was the first US produced round in the series - so we introduced a traditional US design (which also helped with market acceptance).
 
Hmmmm....

Will do some digging. There may be 5 spares. Failing that, I have some SGB coins in mint condition that use the exact same capsule.

The capsule was originally designed to be for a 50gram coin, and retrofitted for the one ounce size. Thats why the coin sits to one side of the capsule.
 
I've put mine XAG coins in Airtites with foam. Rock solid protection for nice coins.^^

In case you have some left I'm also interested in one or two. It seems that Norfed 2oz Piedfort is of exact size. :)
 
They are sitting at GoldStackers display case.

Ainslie have their own thing...if that what you are asking.
 
It is. I don't often wonder into Ainslie's website so wasn't aware of it. It's exactly the same design at least on the Ram's head side. Think they would have gone with something a little more original.
 
No, it is a separate die. Bit of a mixup during the design stage. Originally a set of XAG rounds based on Australian premedical coin designs was proposed, the concept was inadvertently offered to another dealer. Just one of those things.
