Check out the websites of PM dealers: Goldmart, KITCO, APMEX, Monarch, Merit, Provident, Blue Moon, NW Territory, Blanchard, AmerGold, Bullion Direct, SanJuan PM, PandaAmerica, SilverTowne, JM, AuTrading, COINS Plus, EuroPacific, Goldline, GoldSilver.com, Lear Capital, Mexican Coin Broker, Scottsdale Silver and USA Gold.....AND these mints: US Mint, Royal Mint (England), Royal Canadian Mint, Royal Australian Mint, Royal Scandinavian Mint, Austrian Mint, Paris Mint, Pobjoy Mint, Perth Mint, Singapore Mint, Casa de Moneda de Mexico and New Zealand Mint. Use Google or any other good search engine to start with these names and home you in on the websites. That should be enough to get you started. Happy hunting! Note: the above is for bullion only - numismatics is another entire ballpark. |

 to CCF!! "Austrian Harmoniconia or something like that" That made me laugh, thanks, lol. I say something like that and someone corrects me my next statement is always....."Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat-eva..... Austria is known for many things, and at the fore front of that list would be the famous Philharmonic symphony.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_PhilharmonicNo doubt the inspiration of the design and one of my favorites bar none.... Note they have no outer rim groves as most standard style bullion designed to mimic real currency, instead smooth rims and some like this, others not.... Not to be confused with famous things found in Switzerland such as in this famous movie quote below, lol..... "Barry: Where are you from? Mueller: We are from Switzerland. Barry: Switzerland. I love Switzerland. It's one of my favorite countries. I love your army knives with the toothpicks, and your cheese. Does the cheese come out of the cows with the holes? Our countries are not enemies. They are friends. We are friends." Edited by Silverhawk74

Actually Pobjoy is a pretty solid private English mint with a US office in MN. They do all those Isle of Man coins, out of which I like the Isle of Man platinum Noble best, but I won't be able to afford too many of them in the near future... They also put out a large Isle of Man cat series of coins that should get the cat-lovers all cranked up, a series of bi-colored (I think overpriced) titanium (huh?) coins and all kinds of offbeat stuff. Enough unusual stuff in their offerings to vacuum an eccentric collector's wallet dry. http://www.pobjoy.com/ukworld/page....e=index.html |
