As mentioned before, third issue not released yet. Only pics available. PCGS already has entries for 1oz silver and gold, but no numbers yet. 

The series continues. Spotted the third issue of the Black Flag series with "The Red Flag Fleet".

Not related to coins, but generally what happened to customers in the EU for importing goods from the UK and also consequences for UK business

Am I missing something. I don’t see the whole animal

It's intended like that. If you put two coins side by side then you can imagine a whole elephant face (puzzle coins). Proof silver coin comes as a double set of coins.

Nobody can tell you anything about price of  bitcoin or silverprice in 2020.

But I am to 100 % sure, that Blag Flag will be collected  in the next years. 

 

Depends on the designs and prices of following issues. 😉

But I'm still in love with the first edition. Have the 1 and also 5oz version, but unfortunately not the gold one.

The Batavia series is a 4 coin set, he probably conflated them. The Current price $132 dollars is far more realistic for 5 oz of silver than the ridiculous price that APMEX was charging, maybe this coin will sink (no pun intended) on the secondary market as the ultra high premiums will not be realised

Yes, perhaps the seller mixed it up with the Treasure Shipwrecks Series.

Even the price is high, Apmex does not have any of the 5oz version for sale at the moment. I was lucky and bought at initial price, but I don't care about my buy price anymore because it's for my own private collection. 

I received my 5oz coin too. Amazing coin in this size.

Look at this ebay auction . The seller mentions 4 coin series, but how does he know that? I'm keen to see which price this auction will achieve after seller took out the coin. 😱

@g33x0r thanks for the pics. Really nice coin. Cant' wait to get mine. Lucky you, no sales tax to Oregon. 😉

Maybe the coin brought out their inner pirate. Even with its limited mintage think it's far too high for an unproven series. That's coming from someone who paid a significant premium on the 1 oz version. But supply and demand i guess and there certainly appears to be a demand at the moment. More money then sense?

It will be a series: https://agaunews.com/perth-mint-kicks-off-its-new-pirate-themed-bullion-coin-series-with-blackbeards-queen-annes-revenge/

Apmex also increased price to USD 350 now. 😯

That was in USD, I bought one any ways....  Just blew my silver budget for a couple months, I'm a sucker lol.

At least one 50-pieces batch already sold. I think you won't regret. I bought one too. 😉 

German Auragentum asks €217 for it. For EU buyer better price.

The graded 5oz version costs USD 399,99 (credit card 416,66). Shipping is quite expensive, but Apmex is charging for many US states taxes too.

Looking forward to receiving both coins. 

Each limited edition 100. 😱

There is some speculation that APMEX are only adding a few hundred coins at a time to their site to seem like the coin is going out of stock quickly to try and create a artificial scarcity. I have no idea. I just want to know when they are shipping the next one and how many there will be in this series. I guess that will be down to how well they sell.   

yes, that's true. but last restocks are not in hundreds anymore but in tens. it seems that Apmex's overall stock comes soon to an end.

I can only say for other series, like the Swan. Apmex did it for years already. As you mentioned as long a series sells well, Apmex will issue another version. I guess next motive for Black Flag series will be next year.

over 1 day already and no restock at Apmex. 

I love this coin. Amazing details and good quality, as usual from the Perth Mint.

I have also bought the new bullion ship coin "Batavia" from the Royal Australian Mint. Not so great and already full of milk spots, like the Mob of Roos and Dolphin.  Something in common with the British Royal Mint. I won't buy any higher premium bullion from the RAM or Royal Mint again.

Cheapest dealer in the UK is the Silver Trader, he is selling his coins for £26.99 with free delivery and normally gets them to you next day delivery, I have ordered 5 from him. The European Mint does not actually have them in stock and while they are cheaper at €26.06 you have to pay €20 delivery.   

European Mint still has plenty in stock. They also offer 6-month free storage for later combined shipping, but not useful for British buyers because nobody knows what Brexit will bring (new customs, tax,...). But Silver Trader offers discount the more you buy.

26 left on APMEX. Ordered 5 last week. 

APMEX always plays the game and refill the available quantity. But it has changed the price discount to only one option (no more discount for 10, 20,100... pieces).

In Europe it seems the European Mint is the cheapest dealer.
