Today I Received.....

[Kman]

Damn nice coin that is:)

 

Youtube is funny and wont let me reply to comments, are you having that problem?

 

The design is very very nice, shame it's quite small, I doubt it's much better on the full, I think on the double sovereign it would be large enough to actually appreciate properly.

I think you need to have linked with Google plus or some nonsense otherwise you can't comment.

Yep I am, also it wouldn't let me comment for a while too.  Its a really nice coin, the full sovereign price is pretty eye watering though, hate to think what the double is..But a brilliant edition to a collection.

The double seems to go for less than the full funnily enough

 

Suppose the full is the main collectible one of the sizes.  

[watchesandwhisky]

That's mad! Though I guess there is far more full sovereign collections out there than doubles.

From what I've seen on Ebay, it seems to work out roughly as below for the 1989 sovs ~ "normal one" being a normal sovereign of that size 

 

half sovereign 2.5x a normal one

 

Full sovereign 4x a normal one

 

Double Sovereign 1.5x a normal one

 

& not sure about quintuple

Thoughts on the horse Craig?

very nice , wide coin , came in a capsule, i think its as big as i,d go    i dont think i would like a 10 oz coin or 1 kilo  dont ask me why, cant put my finger on it,, very clever how they mix the gloss and frosting together

 

ps  no i may consider a 5 oz coin but no larger

Don't think they have released Mintages on the horses yet mate.

All the Perth mint lunars come in capsules too.

[KevinG]

the little brother to the 20ff, the 10ff.

Very nice now you need the big brother 40 Francs coin.

[craig12]

the wierd thing about the 2 oz  is it dosent feel twice as heavy as a 1 oz coin

[Keithoil]

Today I received........

 

The UK Sheep, 2014 Libertads, and the UK Lunar Horses.

 

I must admit they are absolutely brilliant coins very pleased.

 

The top ones are ever so slightly marked, but other than that they are pristine for a bullion coin,wow.

 

The Proofs must be awesome!!!

I used to think that about the bigger coins but now I have 10oz lunars I want 1kg!

[Keithoil]

I will not buy any 1kg coins, 10oz is big enough.

[Stretch]

I will not buy any 1kg coins, 10oz is big enough.

Why?

[Stretch]

Just missed my parcel. I'm away but my wife was out walking the dog when UPS decided to call. Could have been an 8am delivery or a 7pm, bloody useless really compared with DPD where you track the courier through individual drops so know exactly what time to be in for.

[Cointreau]

Never heard of DPD Couriers before.

Anyway, got my two 2oz 2009 kooks from Arshimo and these are my first 2oz coins.

I have to say I'm not a fan of this size coin. I will stick to the traditional one ounce and fractionals.

My next coin's a doozy.

Edited October 31, 2014 by Cointreau

[Keithoil]

Why?

Why for me personally I am not really into them, but who knows I may buy in the future. That said I bet the 2015 Kookaburra is a good looking coin.

[garthy]

A one penny tin money box for my pre 1992 copper 1's and 2p's

 

£8 from sainsbury's which I'll probably never make back in copper but I had to have it.  

[daz]

a 2009 2oz kook and black coloured lunar dragon from arshimo , both cracking coins - well pleased with them .im not usually keen on coloured coins  but the dragon is great.

 

so many to buy and so little money
