Nice, just out of interest if you don't mind sharing the total damage compared to say a full Oz gold coin just as a % maybe.

Also was the source GS.be

I will see you in Vegas @silverdocket.

In transparency, I did pick up one. First, and only, Kook...I guess that is redundant as first would be indicative of only, in present tense....question now will be, will I get the Kook bug and want more...more...more Kooks!!!😆

 Out of 15,000 

 Australia is only getting 1500 

 Asia will snap them up in my opinion.

E.M got 20 in 

only 9 left..

 It was them or a 1 oz gold buffalo

Tempted hmmm.

Anyone from the forum thinking of getting one but put off by the postage me too. 

Possible to maybe go split the cost of postage if anyone is interested, send me a pm.

I ordered one as well back on the 14th.  And you are right about the risk of this being a new yearly addiction.

Good point, completely forgot about that.

I'm not sure as I'm not a big 1/10th fan (excepting Libertads, which are thinner and wider). It's also not perhaps the design to 'hook' folk in imvho, it's 'retro'. If you've never seen a silver 1 oz you will likely be utterly addicted like the rest of us if you see one of the better years (so many down the 30 years!) in the flesh. An absolutely stunning series overall with just a few that disappoint slightly at first, but are essential as part of one of the best sets of modern silver coins I've laid eyes on imvho (with a notable mention also for the older RAM Roos - glorious)

@kimchi, I know what you mean. I know the 1/10 oz format isn’t greatly informative, and indicative of the beauty as seen in a larger 1 oz format. I have seen the designs over the years and just need some motivation to add another series to the collection!😁

I ordered from Monument Metals and they have 137 in stock. APMEX still has 62 in stock here in the US.

Trust me, they blow you away in hand! Every single one I've not been 'quite sure of' has been a delight in the flesh! The 2020 I was not keen on initially from pics, but lo and behold I get a couple delivered and I love 'em! I am (unfortunately) now recently into the 10ozers, I just hope and pray I never see a kilo 🤣

Which years would you recommend to prime the kook pump?

Apmex is a fairly decent price isn't it? I think around £130-140 (max) delivered is about right for the pre-order. They will go up when sold out. You won't make a fortune on these I don't think but some great points there on the previous page from @motorbikez and @Oystonousted and others.

Oh blimey, where to start? For lower premiums I would probably say 2016 and 2017, both gorgeous designs imo. 2018 was divisive but I love it, it was a bold change, keeps things interesting but I wouldn't start there. 2019 is a stunner, a bit of a mix between the older and more modern styles, beautifully done as per usual (the quality on these is always great). That's definitely next on my list for the 10oz

2009 is widely regarded as one of the best ever but you'll pay for it. 2012 another super year imo. It never stops with the Kooks!

I'm not sure when they started but they've been going for years. I have the 2016 and 2017s, 2018 I think I only have the lunar so would love one if anyone has one spare. Also 2019 as I missed the whole range there pretty much, I missed a trick there, stunning coin imo!

@kimchi...back from the transdimensional bathroom...thanks for the recommendations on where to start with the Kooks. I will take a look and perhaps a procure in the new year! I do have some cool series coming in the next few weeks to add in the collection that I think you will enjoy!

In case you're looking for lowest price in US, here is price comparison on 1/10 oz gold Kookaburra coin

[silverdocket]

E.M is back up to 17 in stock......

must have ordered more. 

[AgCoyote]

I ordered one and can't wait to get this beauty.

[greektony]

I just ordered one but I'm now thinking it will be lonely as my only 1/10oz coin so I should really order a couple more!

Many thanks for the link. Looks great in hand for a 1/10

[Branman1986]

I picked up a few, figured you can't really go wrong, the premium isn't crazy.  Apmex is temporarily out of them at the moment, I'm sure they're holding some back for higher pricing though.

[silverdocket]

 I can't wait to get mine.... probably take another two weeks  to deliver 

 

[kimchi]

Might have mine tomorrow, really looking forward to these as a Kook fan!  My first (and second and third etc lol) BU 1/10th too, hope the size doesn't underwhelm!

The premium in Euros or Dollars (at around £135) still seems very reasonable to me given the present price of gold, the problem ofc is the postage from Europe or the States. Coin Connection still have a few at £150, it'll be interesting to see when those sell out.
