It's a young set that goes back to 2010 and all can be grabbed pretty cheap compared to modern day 2016 coin. I thought about grabbing a couple to see if I could complete the set. I wonder if the series will go on for a long time. Do you think it will continue to go on?

You can get the 1oz issued from 2011 onward from JMB pretty cheaply: http://www.jmbullion.com/search/?q=taku&x=0&y=0http://www.jmbullion.com/search/?q=turtle&x=0&y=0The 2010 is a tad expensive, but I saw the odd one popping up on ebay for <$40. Patience... There are also 1/2oz, 2oz (true Piedfort coins), and 5oz versions, but not for all years. It's difficult to obtain mintage figures for prior years. Hence, paying a steep premium for any of these may not be justified. For bullion investment purposes, I'd recommend sticking to the 1oz and 2oz releases. I like the 5oz though as the size does the design more justice - the 2016 is still available for a halfway decent premium (comes in capsule): http://www.apmex.com/product/97109/...ll-turtle-buI paid $100.05 on Apr01 - which seems like a joke now. ;) |

Only the 1oz set. The rest are too difficult to get hold of and come with a huge premium which is not justified.

Do you know if the gold glided ones are released by the mint or if some third part takes a legitimate silver taku and gold glides them? Do you have any of the gold glided ones? Yeah I will haunt ebay to try and get a 5 oz one if I can get one close to around 100 110 or so. Paying close to 150 for 5 ounces when silver is just under 18 an ounce is unjustified. |

The gilded ones were issued by the New Zealand Mint and come in nice packaging. But these are numismatic and cost a lot more.
There was one issued with just the Taku and another one with a baby Taku as well - all gilded.
