what are your opinions on these coins?
 
The panda looks nice...the ship also looks quite good :D

But the first one....looks ugly haha
 
yes, the panda is the first of 5

Forthcoming Releases:
August 2011: Orangutan
November 2011: Polar Bear
February 2012: Black Rhinoceros
May 2012: Siberian Tiger
 
I like them... The Santa Maria and the Panda in particular !

The Koala will go nicely with the rest of the Bush Babies.

I'm sure they'll be popular, might be worth to get a few... :cool:
 
Koalas = yes as last coin in Bush Babies series. Need at least one. :)
Ship = no
Panda = possibly.

Whilst I realise Perth Mint manufacture coins for other countries and dealers, I do wish they would disclose on their web page if the product has been specially commissioned by a dealer.
 
I'm not into colored coins, so won't be getting any.

would have to see them in person first, but by those illustrations:

koala - uck. too cutsie
ship - nice design, if I was into ships I'd at least consider this coin.
panda - not bad, but I don't like the layout with pandas hovering over hands like that, looks wierd.
 
The panda looks the pick of the bunch but at $114.50 for their 1oz coloured coins now, that's just wayyy too much of a premium when spot is like $40.00

Ships that changed the world:-

1. The "Famous Naval Battles" was a flop, lucky to get your issue price back.

2. The Perth Mint site doesnt state what the next 4 coins in the set are.

Think I'll leave Pandas and Ships well alone.....

With the quick jump in prices from 82.50 -> 89.50 -> 97.50 -> 105.00 -> 112.50, there seems no end in sight... lol

What's everyone's thoughts on the new releases in the Wildlife Series, the Orangutan, Polar Bear, Black Rhinoceros and the Siberian Tiger??
 
Considering on buying the pandas ... but not really too interested in rest of the set >_<

Quite expensive too, way overpriced for $40 spot.

Site looks down here, can't buy anyhow haha
 
Thinking about it the Panda is getting expensive.

When you start a set you want to complete it. But at $500+?????

I'll save my ammo for proof dragons instead.

I was meaning in the "Ships that changed the world" series.
 
Anyone else getting an evil vibe off the koala?

Kind of sick of pandas :) however polar bear rhino and tiger would be interesting to see - sorry ranga I see one on the news to much to be interested.

Won't get them though - If I want animal coins I can get bullion ones alot cheaper than this and ships don't float my boat ;)
