Opinion?

[Pete]

I have to say they are quite good and I am pleased with them.

[Danny-boy]

What's your feeling on size Pete?

Good strike?

Size is good and the strike is crisp.

Nice sharp detail and deep reeded edge.

Finish is like an Eagle or Libertad - grey matte.

I like it.

[Danny-boy]

Fantastic, cheers Pete.

Looking forward to getting mine now.

Just ordered 10 from silver to go ..... Does each one come in a capsule like other Perth mint coins?

[CurryMuncher69]

They are the biggest half oz coins I have had, and they look amazing to be honest,

Nope they come in a plastic zip bag thingymahbob

[CurryMuncher69]

This coin is a bullion style coin, so cheap quality silver from the perth mint, hence why it is the cheapest half oz coin they do. 

No Capsule, or Proof like finish. Simple, and I like it cannot wait for the next coin in the series.

The stupid part about this is if I want to buy these from an Australian dealer they sell them for the same price as 1/2 oz lunars.  They're only cheaper if I buy them from Apmex, in the US.  It basically means I need to buy a real big bulk order to offset the expensive shipping from the US to justify the purchase of them, since they're suppose to be 'cheap bullion' coins afterall, but I can't seem to get them in Australia for that cheap price haha.

Jez have a look at perth bullion I've bought off them before and they have them at a very reasonable price way cheaper than the 1/2 oz lunars
