Too bad as I really like this series.

I bought the two elephants, and one rhino and didnt buy more.

I would like one of the elephants again because the dealer sold me one with toning, small speck that I never noticed until recently :(

Those look so great!

The Chad coins, the second Hippo, also got toning but again, that was from the dealer I bought from and I returned the coin.

Have you looked at that Africa series from Congo and Gabon that is done in an antiqued finish? I have many of those and am happy to report zero toning or milk spots.

I really love that Chad series, I feel like getting the 2016 release but from a dealer that is not selling toned coins on the rim LOL

again yup

Perhaps someday I will have the pleasure to add a kilo of something to my collection but that day is not here as of yet.

I am very familiar with the antique Africa series and yes, they are AWESOME coins! I do not own any but do admire them.

I am hoping that Benin and Chad are just taking 2017 off and will be back with something new for this series next year.

I am hoping you can find a new dealer with more pristine coins for sure!

@Debrajc

so I was looking for that Chad Hippo coin but looks like its out of stock for now.

I did see some dealer in Hungry on ebay was selling one but I am reluctant to buy from them since I have never done business with them.

I keep looking tho, sometimes these coins still make their way to the market even after a few years time.

Did you see those new toned rhino and elephant coins that APMEX is carrying LOL... just when you think there is nothing out there,,, lol
