I am starting to venture out just a little bit from my 1 oz. silver coins and gold is just not an option for my budget but I did one "splurge" as a Christmas gift from me to me....and bought a "herd" of silver elephants. 18.85 ounces to be exact.......

Congrats on the set Debra, very niceeeeee set, I like it a LOT. what do you think of the bigger sized elephant coins, like the 5 and 10 oz somalia elephant? Arent't they just beautiful? I am so glad they made the elephant look BETTER than last years cartoonish looking elephant lol.

Nice set, Debra! That is really beautiful. The Somalia Elephants are an awesome set...you could get lost in collecting them, as they have different sizes, bu and proof, privy marks, ANA sets, high relief coins...it would be quite an awesome adventure to try.

Thanks everybody! I do like the set as I for the most part have always stayed with the 1 oz. silver BU coins from the countries I collect. This is certainly different for me but as I mentioned...it was a rare "splurge". And yup, I do love the 5 and 10 coins. And yes, last years elephant was a disappointment. Glad they got back on the right track this year.

Hey nothing wrong in splurging!! lol
that set is beautifulllllll and unique, I think thats a first time they release a set in that manner of being first strikes and presentation, much better than the proof set style IMO.
This is to me, like one of the pieces one gets for the coin collection that is the master piece you know?
Lets hope we can get Debra to start buying the gold elephants soon, man, like at the 1 oz and half oz sizes, they look much bigger than your typical 1 oz gold coin, when you compare a somalian elephant versus say a 1 oz american eagle.
Once again, congrats Debra!

I have the best wife. My birthday recently passed by. As a surprise, she bought me the 2018 kilo piece to add to my set! What an amazing wife. She pays attention to what I like, that's for sure!

Ok so- Love the 2018 designs, tho I sat out 2017, 2018 the 10 oz somalia elephant coin is gorgeous, BEST 10 oz coin out in the market that is bullion in my opinion. Love the 2 oz as well. Love the half oz size as well, its nice having the entire range. I did not pick up the APMEX 1 oz somalia special coin. I am getting tired of these coin dealer exclusives, more about that later in a separate thread. Personally I am very disappointed this upcoming 2019 design, leaves a lot to be desired.

Hello All I am new and have stumbled across this post whilst searching information on the 1oz gold Somalia elephant dog privy with mintage of 100. I have this coin and it is graded NGC MS69, which is the joint highest grade. I am looking for a value on the coin as I will be listing it for sale on ebay and I am located in the UK. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
