I got 12 at a little over 27.00. Definetly stung,but it was money I'd set aside for the silver krugs,which went for more than double that & was just too much of a gouge for me to go for. The swans are already selling for up to 57.00 on ebay. We shall see. |

I am a little surprised at the premium increase in so little time. To go from $25 to $50-60 in 24 hours... I am still kicking myself for only buying two while they were below thirty dollars. I considered a full roll and then changed my mind. I mean-- there are 25,000 of these things. That is not exactly "rare" by world bullion standards. There are other popular series with much lower mintage that do not more than double their price in 24 hours. Kicking myself, I say. I am also still kicking myself for not buying the S Proof Congratulations ASE. I don't even collect ASE (except for the regular bullion variety, of course), but should have been smart enough to realize a mintage of 75k on proof ASE would have been an investment move, not a collecting move. I guess I have to pay a little more attention to what is going on in the market. On the plus side-- I have to say that I am very happy that the world bullion market seems to becoming more accepted as legitimate coin collecting and not just stacking or some step-child of collecting. Or at least it feels like it is becoming more accepted. |

Hm.. Looks nice and seems like prices are going well on secondary market. Luckily though the design doesn't scream to me like the WTEs do. Congrats to those that got some!

They are beautiful. I received my two.
I have a swan on mine also, so I won't post a picture, since yours are great!
Then the storage dilemma starts...what to do with the first coin in a series for a series collector.
Can't do a CAP page for 1 coin.
Can't do any kind of album for 1 coin.
When you have 10 years, now there is when you can start doing something!
One of the two is for the bullion type set, so it least it can get some display use right away!

Crazy glue, how do you display your bullion type set? I currently have mine in Airtites and then in tubes, which protects them well, but makes it difficult to enjoy them. I'm looking for ideas, if you have some.

@Lunch Money For many of my bullion coins I display them using CAPS pages. I pay $4.95 per page to custom make them, because they look very good and can be labeled easily when making. For some of my sets sets, such as larger than 40.6mm coins (i.e. Lunar II Australia), CAPS pages will never work. Anything larger than ASE will never work in CAPS. For my type set (pics below), CAPS could work okay. I only collect 1 oz silver in this type set. And I do not include Lunar. It has its own sets. I choose not to use CAPS for it though,because I am constantly adding to the collection. So I would always have to buy new CAPS page and update. Also excluded in my type set below are one off coins (i.e. Niue coins in general) and short year specialty sets, such as Canadian Wildlife and Birds of Prey. Below are the pictures of Lighthouse Encap pages I use. You can get a pack of two for about $5 bucks. They are actually easier to work with than CAPS pages by far, but they are problematic to label. I think I have worked out a solution to that: I have ordered white round 40mm labels. I can print on these using my printer and then place them on an empty airtite and it will become a label. So the first circle could be a label (i.e. World 1 oz Silver Bullion Type Set) and then I could even have labels in between each coin to list country, date, mintage, etc. That will cut down the number of coins on each page in half, but might look pretty cool. Anyway, this is what it looks like now, nothing special. After the labels, it might look better. One interesting note: Australia has 7 annual repeating sets included. And I have not added a Saltwater Crocodile (annual repeating version, not the one off Wildlife version) yet. Australia has many coins   |

Very nice pictures from both of you @Debra and @Crazyglue! I have my world silver in my crown collection Dansco at the moment, but will eventually order another custom Dansco to get them separated. Then I just go by size. I was wanting to only have one bullion from each country but like mentioned, there are lots to choose from especially in places like Australia or Canada. We will see once I have more...

Debrajc-- your 2013-2016 CAPS look awesome! I may have to just take the plunge and do that. I thought about it...never realized they would look so good. Nice set!
I didn't even know about the zoo series! I have to have those too! Where did you purchase the dingo card, if you don't mind my asking, so I can find it.
Mister Kairu, I bet that crown set looks awesome. You should post some pics if you get time!

Very impressive pages. Those are really nice. I had not seen that set up before. I think I am going to look into those.

Never mind the question on the Dingo. I found them and snatched up a few. At a mintage of 3000 and the first of an annual carded series, I could not help it.

Thanks crazyglue. Just now getting back to the post. Glad you found Archie. I think it will be a nice series and I love animal coins series anyway. The only place I could find them here in the US is MCM and bought one off their ebay listings. Yes, MisterK there are a lot to choose from. But it's fun! Thanks stud. Yes, they make nice albums for sure. A bit of a learning curve in the beginning but I like them. |
