Today I Received.....

[Rll1288]

I got these today and must say I am rather pleased.. They look great..

 

[arphethean]

A few arrivals from the past few days, getting very close to my panda goal...

Thanks to @Danny-boy

and to @DavePanda - again!

And a nice chap on the Facebook group for the curiously elusive 2007!

But no thanks to the eBay seller for this fake...

But I'm very almost there with the double date set - just 5 gaps to fill.

First time I’ve been tempted to buy a colourised coin since I started really collecting.

Just like anything with animals and thought these Wolves with a bit of added colour, were something different that might appeal to my kids collections.

2011 RAM 1oz $1 Silver Proof Allied Rock Wallaby  

 

The 2011 Royal Australian Mint Kangaroo  features the allied rock-wallaby. These marsupials are part of the macropod family, meaning ‘great footed’ and are found mainly in north-east Queensland and on the nearby Palm and Magnetic Islands.

 

There's not much more to be said about this somewhat underwhelming design by Wojciech Pietranik - a coin which is unlikely to be remembered as the most inspired of his creations. The detailing is, as always, excellent and remains a dependable factor in this series.

 

As @Peterheat mentions below - a case of poor taxidermy?

I see what you mean its the front paws for me they just don't look right a bit frozen and wooden if you know what I mean but still great details again with the fur and muscle tone

Went on a vacation for my Anniversary. Came back to 5 RMC rounds I got off Reddit.

I am really hating the premium and spot values at the moment. Getting harder to source deals , haven’t bought much lately to add to the stack. When these Mexican beauties rolled in had to grab them though.

2003 Silver Proof 1oz $1 Kangaroo - "Jirrah-Watty"

 

Featuring a design by acclaimed Aboriginal artist Ray Thomas of the Gunnai people in Gippsland, Victoria, the coin depicts "Jirrah-Watty" – the Big Kangaroo – in full flight. With bold muscular line-work underscoring the animal’s power and predominance, a delicate finish applied to the background envelopes the horizon in a shimmering heat haze, along with the distant silhouettes of another stalwart of the outback, the grass tree. Ray Thomas spent many years researching his Gunnai people’s myths, legends, designs and body marks. The patterned line-work and motifs are characteristic of the indigenous peoples throughout South-East Australia.

 

The corresponding "frostie" has a raised polished image with frosted background and was crafted by Vladimir Gottwald, Engraver at the Royal Australian Mint

 

This proof kangaroo is, in my opinion, the clear number one of the entire Skippy collection. A truly and outstandingly beautiful coin - I hope it goes some way towards mitigation regarding my previous post.

 

I hereby close the case for the defence and appeal to the jury of my peers.
