Well I had asked the forum a few months ago what I should collect (at the time it was Pandas or classic commems) but after some time I remembered how much I loved the Wedge Tailed Eagles when they first came out. Sadly, it seems like the series has gone down a bit in terms of popularity but was able to get most of these coins for pretty good deals. Plus, I like the idea of having a collection that started during my collecting years (started 2008) and worst case scenario, they are 1 oz silver. I have decided also to get the rarest proof versions (5,000 max, still selling years 2016-2018 but so far the 2017 proof mintage is only 550) and add them as well and now with the decision to have an annual design change, I am hoping this will turn into quite the cool-looking collection. Thanks for looking!   |

Thanks all! I guess it also goes along with my avatar too ;P but as far as storage goes, I had a bullion album for quite a while and didnt have any toning problems and others on here have had coins much longer so the albums are fine for silver as far as I am concerned. I like the look of them too

Looking good, Mister K! I have often thought about collecting the New Zealand sea turtles but your eagles are striking. Nice job. |

I like the look of them too As I said before, I agree. Having nice bullion coins in an album, being able to enjoy them that way, overrides any risks. |

Very nice! I collect the various one-ounce silver versions of these as well.
Between the bullion, proof and reverse proof finishes + the design changes + regular- and high-relief versions, an attractive yet relative inexpensive set can be assembled.

Beautiful coins. The only think I hate is the same design each 2 years. I skipped the 2014 for a roll of 2015 cheaper. Bought also a roll of 2016 but only 1 coin 2017 and 2 coins 2018. I try to keep only changing design and selling all non changing collection like old years ASE, libertad, ... |

I kind of agree, although I was told by someone (whether it was the Perth Mint or my rep guy from Govmint) that this year was the first year for starting annual design changes like the other Perth stuff (Kooks, koala's, etc.). Knowing that makes this series more exciting for me as well. |
