RAM 1oz 50th Anniversary Moon Landing Coin

[Shire.of.Douglas]

Hi all,

Recently discovered a bullion coin issued by RAM that they never even sold in Australia, so thought I would attempt to repatriate some from Germany lol

I'm guessing it will be about a month before I know the results, but here's hoping they make it home :winkextra:

This is a nice coin.

I live in the UK and bought one of these from a UK bullion dealer back in April

It is a bit annoying when mints do this....I live in the UK and only just found out about the 1997 - 2017 Silver Britannia 20th Anniversary Chariot design.

RAM typically only sell bullion packaged with a proof finish, which with regard to silver is typically at a premium of around 3x or more over spot price.

They could compete against Perth Mint in the bullion segment if they were willing - I would have bought a tube, but then I wonder about two things: are they worried about cannabilising the premium market, or does Perth Mint supply the planchets and have a local market restriction on sales? Maybe I should send them email and see what sort of response I get...

As for nice coins, I ended up getting a couple of these sent over when they were released - not quite the same eye appeal as the gold, but a classic design!

Not sure who supplies the planchets - circulating stuff is from South Korea but maybe precious metals are still done locally?

It has been confirmed that Investment BU Bullion planchets are sourced "from within Australia". That points in one direction

[Mister T]

Yes, not sure who else would doing it if not the Perth Mint.

I had a package arrive from Germany today...
