Lithanial Valued Member Canada 451 Posts	Posted 09/23/2011 7:40 pm I couldn't help it. I have been eyeing this coin for a while now and I finally decided to get it. There was some scratches on the plastic capsule, but the crystal is beautiful. I am going to curse myself with it because I keep handling it and holding it up to a light. I already almost dropped it.

Rather better to buy these on the numismatic aftermarket than new, and after the price has stabilised after original sale. The main question to be asked in the right conditions is then 'Do I want it?' People buy new cars knowing full well that the greatest percentage price drop is in the first three years after purchase.

Lithanial Valued Member Canada 451 Posts	Posted 09/24/2011 8:02 pm They are all minted by Pobjoy Mint. The frog is from the British Virgin Islands The Penguin is from South Georgia and South Sandwhich Islands The Lion is from the Republic of Sierra Leone The Turtle is from British Indian Ocean Territory The Turtle is the award winning one, but the Penguin is the first one. I got the frog because I love the deep green look in its case and the glowing green when held up to a light. 22g of sterling silver. I have been doing my due diligence in studying these coins. I just couldn't pass up the deep green color crystal. If the turtle/penguin is still available during the holiday season, I will plea for one as a gift. I have enough of the RCM's crystal elements.
