Hey there, how are you all doing?

I've been collecting quite a few things in the past couple of years but I have found that my genuine interests are in Perth Mint Silver coins, diamonds, gemstones and opals. Those three have captured my eyes . Generally the Silver Themed collection in the Perth Mint has been by far my favourite, as I have a vast collection of these. But I feel that maybe the Perth Mint is getting too commercial with their themes?
With ones such as the Barbie and Transformers Silver Coins that have been introduced. Don't get me wrong, I grew up playing Barbie dolls and watching Transformers as a child, but everyone's different and I prefer more quality themes.

But I've stumbled on this particular silver collection series online called Treasures of Australia locket coin series. In the silver coin locket you either get sapphires, faceted/ rough diamonds, opals or gold. I have found more value and appreciation in collecting these Treasures set than just a Barbie silver coin.

As these treasures sets are a limited edition and most are already sold out through the Perth Mint . I have started collecting from other sources, check out my latest win

now I can hold the silver koala coin and the sapphires in my hand. It's a great hobby collecting coins, whether it's buying for gifts, or purely for the joy of owning them. It's never a dull moment for me!

Personally, Perth Mint coins aren't my cup of tea, for the most part; Many of their themes are a bit too "gimmicky" for my taste. But, as you say, everyone's different. Never let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn't collect. It's your collection; if you like it, go for it!

Have you seen the 'Crown Jewels' locket coin, from the Perth Mint? This was one of the first 'locket coins'. It was released in 2002, Cook Island legal tender, and contains Rubies, Sapphires and Zirconias.

A very nice coin I think.

I saw a ton of these the other day. Australia coins that were unreal! Yes they are a little to puffy for me. But very nice.

One I remember had opal inside it.
