Perth mint products

[kchan1111]

Thank you all for your replies, and advice, actually my collecting interest is Australian Sovereigns, I have collected some Perth Mint bullion 1 ounce rounds along the way and I like the quality of the coins and was interested in how much the Perth Mint charges for these coins.

So Perth Mint bullion coins are not a good investment ? as they are too expensive.  I look at youtube silver stackers in America they consistently advise they like the Perth Mint bullion rounds and pay a few dollars over spot for some of the coins, I just wanted to know how much the Perth Mint charge. Have now checked the Perth Mint site and confirmed the price. Sorry to here that I may have offended a member

Ah... if you are referring to me it's all cool. Not offended. :good:

I collect Australian sovereigns too. I have a few half sovs but mostly sovereigns. Wished I picked something less expensive to get addicted to!

Hi yes I was referring to you, I did not mean to offend
I like the Australian Sovereigns, I tend to like the better condition ones, I don't have many half sovs as they tend to be more expensive, I also would like to collect some Australian Proclamation coins, maybe I should look at some bullion Sovs?

It's hard to get high grades though. Impossible for some dates in mint state even if you have the big bucks. I like to get the key dates but that limits my ability to source the very top grades.

I have one Canadian and one British sovereign.

I'd like a Johanna. Spectacular coin.

You guys like Sovereigns do you?

I just recorded a little clip.

Touchy touchy touchy. I hope you don't treasure them too much.   Muahahahaha!!!!

Oh, and just because you were talking about Bullion, thought I might throw up something my mum received many years ago when she worked for Dulux.
Back in the day (Late 80's), the company gave every employee one of these one year.









Not a bad token of appreciation.

Yes, it certainly isnt a proof or high standard of finish ... however it does mean you get to rub it in your hands without feeling guilty.

[kchan1111]

Yep! Loved them seedyrom.

That can't possible be good for the coins though.

Yeah .. I wouldnt normally even treat a copper-nickel coin like that, let alone gold.

But I was recently given that little holder by my aunt.
It was hers and my fathers when they were kids. He had the sovereign, she had the half sovereign.
They used to play with the coins as kids.
I figured they have probably been handled a lot more savagely than I could ever inflict.

My father was saying he felt those coin holders were fairly common.
I've certainly never seen a coin holder with a more abrasive surface to be sitting against the coin face

The coin Holder is a very interesting item but a bit harsh on the Sovs
The silver bar is also interesting

This is one expensive paper weight!
Australian Koala 2018 2 Kilo Silver High Relief Antiqued Coin.
I will stick with my lump of quartz with gold (actually iron pyrite -"fools gold") streaks.
