2018 10 oz Kookaburra coin

[fastlanwan]

Is the 2018 10 oz Kookaburra live up to the potential of a bird in flight on the 10 oz coin? I've only seen pictures and in person the coins can look much better or worse which is why I ask.

I have started to buy 10 oz coins that I really like the subject matter and quality. A bird in fight has that capability but the details and quality make all the difference between a possible piece of art and another generic round.

I would like your opinions on 10 oz in general as a larger canvas for more details and if so which you see the public appreciating at some point?

Just curious, what have you gotten so far?

I recently bought that 10oz Kook on here. I'm a huge fan and collector of the 1oz and this was my first 10oz and it blew me away, I think it's lovely. But then I am a Kook fan and I liked the coin already.

Kooks are not generic rounds generally and this one is no different, and I think at issue price (or a bit more for a year or two back) they do quite well (if not spectacularly) as one of the more popular ongoing series.

I was definitely more impressed with it in hand than I thought I would be.

As for a bird in flight and art - I am not sure this is particularly realistic, it is very stylized. It is also very striking. It appears to be missing a leg which may or may not bother you. If you want a more 'realistic' bird in flight you'd have to go back some years in the Kook series.

I'm a huge fan of ten ounce coins.  They're fun to hold, you can see more details on the coin. They're also great in SHTF situation if you have to cross a border and they have some rule that's favorable toward coins and not bars.

I have several ten ounce Kooks and the 2019 is just spectacular in 10 oz. form. I never see a 10 oz 2018 Kook available. I'd love to have one.

 I have a 2016 18 19 20 

 I think it's more an image of the bird 🐦  landing.

 The moon looks spectacular.

 I may consider moving some of them onto a new home soon.

 I must have a look on eBay for  Guide prices

Kilo are much better

I wonder if there will ever be a 100 oz. Kookaburra/Koala or Magnificent Maples coin. I think it'd be pretty cool.

I just bought the 5oz 2019 high reliëf last week. That kilo is very nice! I’m thinking about selling some of my coins and get the kilo proof because the design is awsome and 2019 was a special year for me.

And expensive... about €8500 - €11.000 

So you need at least €34000,- to fill up the table for 4.

A little more than that, once you add in some 1kg's for side plates, and some 10 oz's for drink coasters.
