This I would believe would be another coin of the week, another Perth Mint Tuvalu silver $1.00 5000 mintage, this coin depicts the battle of Thermopylae 480 B.C.   hope you like regards Harry  Oh P.S. I'm returning this coin to the shop in exchange for a mark free one  |

Wow, I love it. I enjoy the history behind this battle. Where is the best place to buy one of these and how much should I expect to pay?

The Perth Mint sold out also the local coin shop has sold out they went like hotcakes so I should have brought more  . Ceaton I would think the only place that you will find them is on ebay and they were worth $90.00 Aussie dollars from the mint so expect to pay a lot more,a friend said she had seen one on ebay for $120.00 U.S. but that was before the bidding took off so your guess is as good as mine. good luck finding one regards |

This coin comes from the Perth Mint Jackie but only 5000 were minted and if there in demand you will have to pay a premium for them now,I have the third coin in the series with the fourth coin coming out next month (September),I'll post the third coin soon but in another thread. Glad you like regards to all Harry |

Just over a month ago, I saw one sell for $57US + S&H on ebay. I paid $75 for mine about a week before this one popped up so they can be had for less than you might think but it takes some perseverance. Edited by traevin

G'Day all and thanks for your interest,Morgans Dad I couldn't return the email as you haven't a return email section on your profile,so the best I can do is let you know on this thread,the Perth Mint email address is as follows ( http://www.perthmint.com.au).You may have to open an account if you want to buy any coins,it may be to late to buy the fourth coin though I could see if the local coin shops still carry them (the fourth coin)if you want,the last 3 coins in the set are already sold out so your best chance is for the fourth coin if there not sold out or the fifth coin that hasn't been released as yet. regards to all Nugget |

I like these, but they are already so expensive from the mint.
