I like these silver coins better then most of the stuff coming out of the RCM right now. I've bought A lot of coins from them over the last few years and only a few of them make the top 100 coins in my collection I think I'm about ready to give up on them. But.... They do come out with some nice ones every now and then :-) |

Never seen F15 Privy Koala, thank you! The series where "Baby Lions" is the third coin is very interesting, I started to look for them, but stopped...RCM last releases "ate" mine NCLT/bullion budget. Added: It is Gabon I think with the low mintage of 1000 or 2000... Who have a thought: why these (and similar) coins which were probably minted in Germany for other countries with very limited mintage, let's say 2.000, do not attract the people, like some of the items by RCM, which also haven't really numismatic value?

Hmmm...interesting
Now I am curious: it the same series (same style), but issued as shared for Gabon and Congo.
And the Mint not mentioned on the COA. I do not believe that it produced by local mint.
Btw - there is a 3Oz Rhino issued in the 2013 with mintage=500.
Could those coins be counted as "Numismatic"? And the Mongolian series?

Hi,
Silveroid, have you been able to find capsules for your silver bullion coins ? I'm starting a 2014 collection and am wondering whether I should use the Lighthouse Volterra Piano case (quadrum, which is adjustable to each coin specific diameter but would mean removing the proofs from their original round capsule) or a case with round holes (like the Volterra uno with 41mm holes, which would mean the smaller coins (Austria etc) would wobble around.

Very nice set of coins there Falcon, I enjoy collection F12/15's from other mints as well. Sometimes the quality of the other mints are questionable but most of the time I'm pleased with my purchase.

Since I've replaced almost all the coins and to have "Proof" versions (that my way to understand the Fabolous coins), I decided to keep original round capsules and let them be free in the rectangular slot. I found, that for my visibility - the coin looks much better in the round capsule, and prefer to keep coin in safe in its own capsule, rather to move it to non-hermetic capsule with the foam. |

Here my latest acquisition, by which I finally "closed" my own 2012 (well there are some exceptions) 15 coin set of "World Famous / Fabulous Silver cons" . Greenland: 2012 Polar Bear and Allegorical Female Figure of Greenland - 1 Piaster - Pure Silver Proof Well, the coin is not legal tender and might be concidered as "fantasy coin", but: as far as I know, some decades ago, the Dutch Royal Mint did issue coins for Greenland - "Piasters", same as this coin. So this fact, and this is really "Fabulous" coin, driven me to choose it.   The coin originally was "carded" (blister), but I decided to keep the coins in round capsules (or their own, or air-tite). some Specifications: Country..........Greenland Year of Issue....2012 Face Value.......1 Piaster Weight...........31.135 g Diameter.........38.00 mm (in some places appears as 40, but it fits 38mm Direct Fit Air-tite) Mintage Limit.....950 (I like this) Finish Proof Composition...... .999 Fine (Pure) Silver Packaging..........Blister Pack Edited by Silveroid
