Funnel-Web Spider. New Perth Mint silver bullion coin.

[AgAuNEWS]

Follow on from last years Saltwater Crocodile and has the same spec, mintage and design layout. Seems a nice coin and if the premium is low, a solid buy. Better than the croc??

Meh...design is a little too simple for me.  Now this is an insect coin!:

 

Mintage:Up to 8,000

I really like it - assuming they're a similar premium to the crocs, I see these doing very well.

[ChrisSilver]

I'm going to get one to go with the croc. Shame I have to buy a capsule separately

If they put a mamal, rather than an inspect or a reptile (or even a better looking reptile as I didn't like the croc much) then I'd buy a tube. As I think they would do very well.

[Danny-boy]

I really like it, I'm in.

Any release date yet?

[KevinG]

Looks good.

[Keithoil]

I have a few tubes of the crocs I like them I will also buy a few tubes of these as long as the premium is the same.

Count me in too, hopefully the perth mint will package them better to protect them from scuff marks like on some of my crocs

I bought the 2012 proof version of this coin before I decided coloured coins were not the route I want to go down.

Mind the redback spider of the same series( deadly & dangerous) still makes insane money.

Be careful if you see a cheap redback spider the Russian version( made specially for the Russian market both by Perth Mint ) although virtually identical  is worth a 1/4 of the Australian/Tuvalu version.

[Cointreau]

I'm passing on this one as well.

At first glance it looks like it has cartoon eyes, I like the crocs but pass on this.

I doubt it. These are pure bullion coins. I am sure they decided to go down the no capsules route to make these cheaper for stackers. so that this product can compete against other lower prices bullion products.

A lot of the crocs had scuffs etc.

I personally prefer paying the extra premium for kooks even if buying multiples.

[sillverjedi]

I'll just pick up 5 see what the quality is like before deciding whether I purchase any more.

[StackemHigh]

Possibly a bit simplistic in design especially around the eyes but I'll get a few to keep the crocs company.

I certainly don't dislike this one!

[Keithoil]

This place has them in stock at $18.65.

I'm tempted to say that the original capsuled perth

mint coins such as kooks/koalas offer better value

for money. they do cost a bit more but mintage is

500k and the individual capsules should protect them

better for the journey from half way around the world.

 

should stg get them in, i can see people including

some with their buys for variety. 

 

also I don't think crocs have done as well as perth

mint claims. crocs were still priced at stg at a

reasonable price until very recently selling out.

not quite the same impression as 'sold out in just

a couple of months'

Just placed an order for 20 with Perth Bullion. If anyone wants any just pm me.

[silversword]

I'm not quite arachnaphobic (maybe just arachna-sceptic), but I'd rather not have one of these staring back at me when I open a tube. Nice design but I'll pass.

[sillverjedi]

Crocs still available through Atkinsons. It will be interesting to see the uptake will given that there wasn't much difference in price between Kooks, Koalas at Stg.

[sovereignsteve]

Available to order from STG, shipping in the next day or two.

 

I'm getting some stuff from them in the next few days, if anyone wants one or two, or more.

[Keithoil]

I am tempted but might wait for the silver price to drop again.

[sovereignsteve]

I'm having to return a damaged ATB 5oz this week so might as well order a few things to come back with the replacement.

[ChrisSilver]

I will get one at some point, to go with the croc. But will most likely wait to see if any of the forum official sponsors in the UK get some in, as I am only after one.

[Danny-boy]

I'm going to pass on these in favour of something nicer.

[sovereignsteve]

I quite like them.
