I got my first Kookaburra.  An 1oz Silver 2016 ...  So we can start to look for the other years now

Nice one. A very popular design in the collection

2012 1/4 oz panda

Lovely. Can I ask why most of these come in this type of plastic wallet and others come in capsules? Does removing the coin from this wallet put future buyers off?

The matt finish is the same on the front of the bar. They both have an appearance of being handled but in certain light it looks like a yellow tone. 

Both bars are identical in size and I need to source the correct size capsules for them as the spare ones I bought for 1oz JM bars are a bit too big.

Think they're both 3mm thick and yes have also heard special caps. Goldsilverbe selling them for 96p or 96 cents

Just had a closer inspection of mine and the Queens side appears to have a yellowish tone. Didn't notice it at first and it doesn't clean off either.

Also my Perth Mint kangaroo 1oz silver bars appear to have the same that I bought a while back. Need to catch it in a certain light to see it. At least they're not proofs 

Thanks for feedback, I have some on the way. Interesting about the 2017 kangaroo bar. I was wondering if the quality / finish was the same?

My part of the European Mint Order (plus some secrets from BYB, thanks mate they are awesome!) First pic as received, second with everything in capsules

Nice! 

Out of the Kooks which design do you like the most 2016, 17 or 18?

Yes they are 20mm so not to tiddly.
I have 2016 and 2017 in silver but am wary of milk, I think this is my main reason for drifting towards gold.

Think the 1/4 oz is 26mm diameter so detail should be good

Yes it’s a proof 2017 with a 1000 mintage 

Reckon is a good deal the platinum proof. Also I've read that there is virtually no chance or extemely low chance of the coin spotting in the future. Something to do with lack of oxidisation.

And a little Platinum

Nice. What year is that? I have seen a proof version of this with box and COA for around 11% over spot. Is this proof?

Cheers

1 X 2018 carded Roo and 1 X capsuled Roo just arrived in post. Although nice, certainly not my favourite. The design seems quite busy/cluttered. 

A big thank you to @kimchi for organising everything. From start to finish communication and packaging has been first class. 

Cheers

Oops thought I was posting on the other thread.

Not for the biggest spot offenders - they were two brand new ones from Westminster (sealed). But I'm also sending back two replacements from CP (one with a small milk spot but every sign of developing further, the other because it has a knick in it - I thought it was OK-ish but a closer look told me otherwise).

Just mulling over whether to return 2 X of my replacements to coin portfolio. Not sure after all this fiasco whether I want to continue or just get a refund. 

Whats your take on these coins value in say 6/12 months time?

Those silver Krugs do milk, alas - I've just packaged two up for return (or I'd take photos) but they were both very obvious perfectly round spots.

Are these the "returns" you are returning?

Picked up a Perth Mint 2005 proof sovereign .

I was asking about the 2013 proof in the "gold section" and was advised about the 2005 from Chards. It's the 150 year anniversary right?
