I’ve only recently started stacking. My silver stacks consist of 5 Kangaroos, 5 Kookaburras, 5 Koalas and 5 Pandas. I’ve also got 5 gold coins. My main focus at the moment is on acquiring all the available 1/4oz Queen’s Beasts. I’ve got a spare sovereign case which can hold all 10 Queen’s Beasts.

Wow really beautiful design

A bit of Romanian history
The coins (and other) laid bury in clay pot for more than 50 years during the communist era.
If you get caught with this in that era you were doing  "hard time"

Having acquired a 1926 Skanderbegu earlier this year from Greece, I just had to get the ‘other one’, a 1927!
This one came from Goldbergs auction,Palm Beach..
Big  thanks to @augurfor yet again finding ingenious ways to spend my money😂!


Although Albanian, these coins were minted in Italy, 1926 R Rome, and 1927 V Vienna (Austria). 
 

I find it funny...
its hypocrisy at its finest. Instead why don’t you stick with American coinage whose country has displaced several countries, is openly oppressive if you are not white, will invade you for resources  and the send in infrastructure companies to clean up the mess leaving a further financial void. 
Or chinese coins whose human rights record is atrocious to all including its own. 
Or australian coinage who actively disposed its indigenous population. 
Or british coins etc etc you get the point I’m trying to make. 
Fitstly you don’t know when the coins were minted or sold, secondly they are base metal and thirdly everyone knows the statement you made is bullshit.

Ill give a little more detail. 
The brass have a mintage of 3000 and the aluminium a mintage of 5000. All coins come from the NK mint and are stamped with the denomination in WON (I believe the side with the stamp is the royal palace). 
I bought all of these coins raw as a longer term investment (as many of you know I sell silver and gold). I bought the slabs and the labels were made for me to print out. If you are looking for a coin that is low on premium these are not for you, however they do have investment potential as much as they are marmite.
The coins that I personally feel will do well are the eagle and vulture and also he big dragon, I was told the latter they had issues sourcing the base metal and thus the mintage was far lower.

Hi, and welcome to the forum.
I am being very careful not to start another collecting ‘project’ before I have completed the ones I have already started. So...I am still looking for a few 1oz Kookaburra Privy coins, and one is going to be difficult to obtain...the 1993 Eagle has a Mintage of 500 and most are held in tight hands.
On the French front, just 1 rooster required (1900) which is easy to obtain, but I am trying to avoid French dealer high prices.
I am also short of about 7 or 8 Guardian Angels. When I have secured a few more of these, then I will give some serious thought as to what to collect next.
What I don’t want to do is start collecting a particular coin, only to find out later that one is incredibly rare, thus preventing me from completing my collection. For this reason, I would find it hard to collect sovereigns...the 1937 Edward V111 Proof could never be obtained, along with several other rarities..there are also financial constraints to be considered..
With the above in mind, I will be doing a fair bit of research before I take the plunge..and hopefully find a coin series which is interesting, obtainable and hopefully inexpensive!
All applications will be given due consideration...including the Belgians...of which I currently own none!
 

European gold ...

... a handful

Only started last month. 

Bank of England has Venezula's gold but unfortunately they cannot return the gold because they have forgotten which pile it is in........
