I received mine today along with the second coin in the bird series. I had to pay taxes (FedEx)... has anyone else been charged ordering directly from the Perth Mint? I have ordered Aus coins from US dealers (USPS shipping) and not once have I had to pay any sorts of taxes. |

I haven't received mine yet, will post again when I got it.
Besides tax, did they charge you any handling fee?

I will continue the series, just worry that the other coins will be again same kangaroo on the different background @Silveroid: if you go back to the perth min web site and look at the picture for the summer coin again. click on the one with the box and use the "magnify" glass or zoom in feature, you will see that each season have different animal. I think autumn is Wombat?, Winter is a toad? and Spring is a ship? My regret is not ordering more of these instead of the three headed dragon Edited by Lostwords

@ksimms3: Interesting, my order just got dispatched, and it is being sent by EMS (Australia Post) instead of Fedex, not sure why.  But happy with the speedy dispatch.  |

 Also got mail about order dispatching. This is my 4-th order from Perth Mint, and it always was by EMS. No additional chargers were required. To Lostwords: Thanks a lot for pointing. If I seen initially these pictures, directly would order a coin, without thinking 2 days. |

Congrats! Nice picture... One of the good things with the Perth Mint from my experience - order may take couple of weeks to arrive, but no delays. And this series - four of these coins together will look just awesome. |

Australian Seasons - Autumn 2013 Proof Silver coin is available on the Perth Mint website. Looking on the coin and the surface covered with the paint, started to think - continue or not with this series... |

@Silveroid and Lostwords: I will only buy it if it goes on sale in secondary market below release price. Although I like the first coin, I still regret that I rushed it and paid retail price. Also for this second coin, there are some "painted" bushes separating the tail of the possum from it's body. Not sure how that turns out on the actual coin, want to see some photos of the actual coin first.

I will just be away from this series...PM produces too many color coins these days which does not reflect coin's glamour.

Agree with you, guys. Also rushed with the first - Kangaroo, because that time missed the 1oz Silver 25th Anniversary of Kangaroo series coin by RAM, and by this coin thought to get something "fresh". But lately, managed to get both coins...and bit disappointed by the "over-colouring". Anyway, I'll keep the Kangaroo - still it nice square coin, but the new one will buy only below the issue price - for $80-$90 + shipping less than $20. Better spend money on the 2013 Hunting Traditions coin(s) by RCM, that I still in doubt about it. Edited by Silveroid

>> Better spend money on the 2013 Hunting Traditions coin(s) by RCM, that I still in doubt about it. I am also considering pickup either one of the Hunting Traditions or Arctic Fox, but don't think they will sell out soon. So would rather see the actual coin first before deciding. |
