Britannia is my favorite for their beautiful design, proof-like finish, and unique composition. Canadian Wildlife series is a close second => I wish they were going to do more than 6 coins for this series. This would probably jump to the top if that were the case. I will give honorable mention to the 5 oz ATB series. As an outdoor enthusiast (see wildlife series above), I love visiting the national parks. |

Favorite Silver Series: Canadian Maple Leafs. I really appreciate how snugly they fit in a self-adhesive Crown/Silver Dollar 2/2, they have a nice finish, and they are the purest in the world.
Favorite Gold Series: Krugerrand, duh! Who would pick anything else? The prestige, the history, the insane numismatic value, etc, etc.
Favorite New Series: Somaliland (German Minted) Zodiacs. These coins have great attention to detail, and have amazing numismatic value. In addition, my final thesis was on the UN conflict in Somalia, so they have added value to me.

such and odd combination. A Somaliland coin featuring the Chinese zodiac and minted by a German Mint . Feels like the story should follow that it is silver mined in Brazil by an Australian company and sold to an American hoarder that took it on a trip to Antartica. Cover all the continents.

Po,
As you probably know, many European nations mint a lot of NCLTs for countries that don't have the infrastructure to design, manufacture, or even distribute their own coinage, yet want to profit from the appetite of worldwide coin collectors. Mongolia is one example among an ever expanding list of countries that outsource their PM coinage needs.

I like the ASE and 90% US coinage both old circulated and newer silver proofs. |

The dragon: http://i.ebayimg.com/t/1000-Shillin...!~~60_35.jpgThe Tiger: (The best in the series thus far IMHO, STUNNING in person!) http://onetroyouncesilver.com/index...y_pathway=45I have not yet acquired the rabbit. I bought the Tiger for my Nephew, who was born in 2010. He will receive it when he is 18, or when I am confident it will not be pawned, which ever happens first. I have bought the 2012 Dragon for my Godneice, but I will hold that one for now, and perhaps get her a different 2012 Zodiac, as the Dragon did not live up to my expectations. Also, I view these coins as Somaliland seeking to legitimize themselves, and any nation building I can be a part of in that region is welcome. If I could, I would buy them direct from the government. |
