To make things a little easier to keep track of the count, could everyone list the country of the coins they post? Not counting duplicates, I think only we're up to 13 but I didn't recognize one or two of SilverBugs .

poboxw,
If you give me a hand with the count, I'd appreciate it. Watch out for dupes. Once we get a few more pages in, I could see it getting complicated. I'm going to try and post one every other day or so. To be honest, the main reason for asking everyone to pitch in is because I need some new ideas for future buys :)

 Cook Islands (16 down) Nice Japanese coin there traevin. Does it come without colouring? And the Russian ballet one too from SilverBug, I didn't know the ballet coin comes in silver (thought it was only platinum or palladium) Edit: i knew it! The Russian Ballet coin is a 90% and not pure silver (though it is 34g so does contain a full oz of silver). Saint George the Victorious would be the pure silver 1oz bullion representative from Russia. The France Liberty coin is also not pure silver, and not a full oz at that. I can't find much info but the that 1975 50 Franc coin don't seem like a pure silver coin either. To the best of my knowledge none of the 50 Franc silver coins from France are pure silver. Bahamas coin is less than 90% pure silver as well... SilverBug's trying to pull a fast one  Up to traevin they should be struck from the list, leaving us at 13 Edited by poboxw

Let's draw the line at 90%. I'll edit the count and include Cook Islands. Thanks, Po!

Does anyone know if the France coins Poboxw mentioned make the 90% cut? I know the 2000's 1.5 Euro France coins are 90% but I'm not sure about the ones posted. I'll count it unless I hear otherwise.

SilverBug,
Right. I was attempting to avoid a lot of pics of coins with exceptionally low PM content and really should have stated .900 AG and up in the beginning. No silver coin is totally pure, anyway. Bad oversight on my part. Wish I could edit that out but edit privileges end after 24hrs., it seems.

I don't really collect world coins, but I made an exception for these two from the Perth Mint (which I've posted in previous threads):   2011 Australian One Ounce Platinum $100 Platypus Coin    2012 Australian One Kilo Silver $30 Lunar Dragon Coin Edited by barryg

That $100 Platypus coin is outstanding! Platinum is probably my most favorite-looking PM. I'm still trying to wrap my head around why spot platinum is cheaper than gold.
