Rediscovering silver & gold

[SilverTanner]

Hello all,

 

I'm not quite new to silver and gold as I have been a coin collector for many years (very numismatic which would bore the pants of most people!) and seem to have ended up with some random 'bullion' coins over that time. The silver seems to be 1989 to 2006 and this means I missed the big run up in prices but also the more recent drop.

 

I couldn't have been completely asleep between 2006 and now as I do seem to have a complete set of 1oz silver series 1 lunars. Now that I am awake again it has been great to find this Forum and the general interest in the bullion market seems to have exploded somewhat!

 

Looking forward to contributing where I can.

Hi Silvertanner, sounds like you bought at a great time, hopefully You've come back at a great time also, good to see you here.

Welcome to the forum ST.

Very nice to find a full set of S1 lunar ounces, don't suppose you have a date run of pandas too do you [emoji1]

There certainly has been a big explosion in the bullion market over the last couple of years, but I'm hoping this is just the start of it - if things go nuts, all these coins we are buying may be worth a pretty penny at some point.

Hi & welcome, glad you are back out of hibernation , When I started collecting mid 2012 the series 1 lunar 1ozers was one the 1st sets I collected, beautiful set. Do you still collect the lunars ?

[SilverTanner]

Many thanks for your kind welcome.

 

Danny-boy: I am afraid just 2001 to 2006 for the Pandas – the collector in me did recently look at trying to complete sets by acquiring missing dates and I was very surprised at some of the prices, I should have bought things as they were released!

 

Motorbikez: Yes still interested in the lunars and I have to say all the Perth Mint coins seem very good quality, I think I may focus on the larger sizes now given their lower mintages. The gold lunars look particularly nice.
