? gold swan ? Western Australian swans (the real ones), are black ! Western Australia is famous for them. That explains why the Perth Mint has featured it on a coin. |

Good price. I jumped on mine way to soon thinking it was going to sell out quick.

I was dragging my feet on The Swan... I looked at various coins, looking for designs that looked good, low mintage, were not common and they are NOT marked up crazy high.... I was going to get a 1 oz Korea tiger after being super happy with the 1/2 ounce and I turn around it pretty much sold out,, so I was like hmmm I thought about the Libertad 1 oz for this year but after comparing data, looking at numbers, mintages, there is nothing unique about that coin other than it is a low mintage but NOT a key date. Dealers are just marking it up since there is a frenzy this year on 2017 Libertads I think of collectors are assuming ALL Libertads are key dates this year... I first got my doubts on the gold swan after seeing a few auctions that came in BELOW that price APMEX was offering, I am VERY SKEPTICAL of purchases coins that are commissioned by a dealer OR only sold through an exclusive dealer. after compiling price data, sentiment and comparisons, it was the price drops that made sense to me. |

They probably just put a lower price initially to get interest then raise it. I always keep an eye on Scottsdale Mint on ebay. Every once in a while they offer their 10oz Silver Stacker Bars almost at spot price, but after selling some they will jack the price way above spot like they currently are. |

Well, just some thoughts- 1- very beautiful design with the swan, it really makes this gold coin stand out. 2- great job by the Perth Mint, as always,,, 3- Low mintage, first in a series,, Havent decided if I will keep buying this series as I do like birds of all types, but my elephants are my favorites still LOL HOwever, the craftsmanship stands out with this coin. |
