When I first got it, I tried to convince my young son that it was made of pure platypus. He wasn't having any of it, though...

Lol, for the price of platinum you think they could have at least had the box covered in platypus skin

Very Very nice collection , I also only collect U.S. coins but when it comes to bullion I love a lot of the designs from other countries as well.

I like the kilo dragon Barry. It's crazy to think that your 50 peso piece is more than twice as valuable as that thing.

I really like the dragon coins. I myself collected all the different dragons which came put from Australia.

Yeah, I'm not really into "animals of the Chinese zodiac" in general, but I've always felt that the dragon was pretty special.
Who wants a coin with a rat (or pig or chicken or snake or horse, etc.) on it? But a dragon? Now, that's just cool!

Snake and Tiger aren't bad animals if done well.

I would like to plug the holes in my world silver BU pieces but I am not ready yet, silver prices have much more to fall.
I really plan on zeroing also on canadian mint pieces,, I havent added anything to my collection and I see I been missing a lot of stuff.

I'd say 1 - dragon; 2 - tiger; 3- horse; 4-ox; 5 - the rest added recently lunar 2 rabbit and tiger ; and lunar 1 goat for 43/coin ... don't care where the price of silver is heading but I have to complete my series)) Edited by bekiz
