 to CCF!! "Austrian Harmoniconia or something like that" That made me laugh, thanks, lol. I say something like that and someone corrects me my next statement is always....."Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat-eva..... Austria is known for many things, and at the fore front of that list would be the famous Philharmonic symphony.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_PhilharmonicNo doubt the inspiration of the design and one of my favorites bar none.... Note they have no outer rim groves as most standard style bullion designed to mimic real currency, instead smooth rims and some like this, others not.... Not to be confused with famous things found in Switzerland such as in this famous movie quote below, lol..... "Barry: Where are you from? Mueller: We are from Switzerland. Barry: Switzerland. I love Switzerland. It's one of my favorite countries. I love your army knives with the toothpicks, and your cheese. Does the cheese come out of the cows with the holes? Our countries are not enemies. They are friends. We are friends." Edited by Silverhawk74

"Check out the websites of PM dealers: Goldmart, KITCO, APMEX, Monarch, Merit, Provident, Blue Moon, NW Territory, Blanchard, AmerGold, Bullion Direct, SanJuan PM, PandaAmerica, SilverTowne, JM, AuTrading, COINS Plus, EuroPacific, Goldline, GoldSilver.com, Lear Capital, Mexican Coin Broker, Scottsdale Silver and USA Gold.....AND these mints: US Mint, Royal Mint (England), Royal Canadian Mint, Royal Australian Mint, Royal Scandinavian Mint, Austrian Mint, Paris Mint, Pobjoy Mint, Perth Mint, Singapore Mint, Casa de Moneda de Mexico and New Zealand Mint. Use Google or any other good search engine to start with these names and home you in on the websites. That should be enough to get you started. Happy hunting! Note: the above is for bullion only - numismatics is another entire ballpark." Lol FF, my head nearly exploded after trying to ingest all that. Some solid info for just one paragraph no doubt.... I was quick scanning and took in POBOY mint, I wash like fish sandwich silver mint, what will they think of next, rof  .... |

Actually Pobjoy is a pretty solid private English mint with a US office in MN. They do all those Isle of Man coins, out of which I like the Isle of Man platinum Noble best, but I won't be able to afford too many of them in the near future... They also put out a large Isle of Man cat series of coins that should get the cat-lovers all cranked up, a series of bi-colored (I think overpriced) titanium (huh?) coins and all kinds of offbeat stuff. Enough unusual stuff in their offerings to vacuum an eccentric collector's wallet dry. http://www.pobjoy.com/ukworld/page....e=index.html |

Does anyone know where to find mintage information on the Rwanda bullion coins.
For both the standard and the privy marked ones.
I've read that there are only 1000 2008 gorilla coins but I have not seen if that is for the F12 or the standard, or both combined.
And where are these minted.

Brittania's are my favourite since they alternate the design every other year and they are alway beautiful, the only drawback is that they seem to be a little more expensive than the rest.

I believe each of the Rwanda bullion issues have a mintage of 5,000, starting with the gorilla. I have seen that the mintage for the 2013 cheetah may be 10,000. As for privy mark mintage, I have never seen mintage figures for these.

Lots of great world silver suggestions. Just have to decide if you are collecting world bullion or " World Bullion " . Most of these coins can't be bought for spot plus. I collect " World Bullion " and pay a hefty premium for some of the coins others have mentioned. For my silver stash I have some of the same world coins but mostly, ASE, Maples, Philharmonic's , and some Libertads, and Britannia's I got for spot plus. |

Does the cheese come out of the cows with the holes? Yes, ALL cows have holes. But no, cheese does not come from cows... at least, not directly. Cheese is made from milk that comes from cows, with the cheese developing these holes during the cheese-making process. As with bread baking, a biochemical reaction releases CO2 gas from the product that causes bread to rise and be filled with many small holes and Swiss cheese to ripen with fewer but larger holes as this gas escapes the crude cheese product. The cheese is often dipped in melted wax to cover and protect it and is stored for a period of time in temp / humidity controlled aging sheds to develop just the right flavor and perhaps texture as well. Yummm... love cheese!  |
