Perth Mint Lunar Goat - Picture

[Danny-boy]

Thoughts?

[watchesandwhisky]

Don't know if its the picture but my first thoughts are these don't look very good..the detail on the faces look poor and the whole coins just looks a bit of a mess to me.

My first thoughts exactly.

[StackemHigh]

Much better than i had expected. I had heard that it was another of the three stooges

 

I'll be getting  2 x1 oz,  2x 1/2 oz and maybe 1x 2oz.

 

The 1oz and 1/2oz to add to the collection and see the price of the 2oz.

Personally I don't think the lunars have been designed that well, they are struck well and great quality, exceptions are snake, dragon, gold mouse and my fav gold tiger. Would love a 1ozer if anyone wants to swap one

[DrDime]

Don't like it much myself.. Will be getting 1 or 2 though....obviously

These were similar responses to the early picture of the horse last year.  It's a different story in hand (or even a photo of the actual coin).

 

I looks like the same design to me with horses substituted for goats.  I think it'll be alright.

[Ares]

I like it, but the picture makes the fur of the animals appear messy and almost look as though they all blend together which could be why people think it's all over the place.

 

I'll be getting one too, naturally.

[KevinG]

I will probably take one.

[Danny-boy]

I'll probably not go for the 1/2-10oz set on this one, and just maintain the sets.

I'll make the decision when I get one in hand though, as others have said they are often very different in the flesh.

If it turns out to be really unpopular then I'll probably buy a roll to flip in 5 years.

I am not going to be buying multiple 1oz. For investment I will put my money with the pandas when I have some spare cash.

I will however get a single 1oz, 10oz, and hopefully 1kg silver version for my collection.

I think the gold design is much better and will probably get one as well.

[HighlandTiger]

Well I'm going to get a dozen of them, so there.......!!

 

[Jez]

Does anyone have a picture of the gold one yet?

 

EDIT: Wait I found it

The gold one looks very nice actually, much more detailed.  The 2015 Gold Kangaroo, Silver Kookaburra & silver Koala all looks awesome too.  You can see them all on that link.

I like the Perth coin, the gold and the silver. I will buy 1 Gold because of the price and i will buy 1 set up to 10oz of silver for myself.  I may buy 5 more silver coins only as the goat/sheep is the weakest year in the Lunar cycle. Though if everyone doesn't buy them then they will be rare and the price will be higher in years to come

Old school kook and cartoon koala for 2015.

Anyone notice that the Gold 'Goat' is actually a 'Bighorn Sheep'.

[SilverPirate]

Maybe it is just the subject matter, it may be horny, but not to me.

I agree though it would be wise to stack a few when they are first released in case of premium rises.

[Danny-boy]

I notice the 1oz goat is on STG now at £19.37.

Ouch.

Looks like it'll be a different dealer for me this year.

Don't the premiums start high and then get lower over time?

[HelpingHands]

Maybe it just feels like that when you buy something and silver crashes the next day.
