[lightjaw]

2 x 2002 half sovs and a 5oz atb Everglades national park coin

[Cointreau]

A 1999 gold 1 oz lunar rabbit from Arshimo.

I'm year of the rabbit so a good reason for me to acquire this coin.

I think I'm two lunar series older than you Kman.

Hi Lightjaw, myself I don't go into the slabbed coins, If you like Libertads go and find the Libertad mintages link on here, there are some very low mintages this year and every year.  So there is money to be made for those who want to wait then get in quick.

 

Others I like are the Perth mint Lunars, Kooks, Koalas.  China Pandas, Britannia's, RM Lunars are worth a punt.

 

You should always try to find out mint numbers.  If you are going down the collecting path rather than the stacking path. 

 

Others on here will give you a totally different view point.

Yesterday I bought

 

3 Lunar 10oz Horses.

Stacking is an expensive hobby but an awesome one

Not too many people on here like the slabbed coins I do but prefer the NGC.

 

I have not bought any for quite some time but I have a varied list. Just buy what you like.

Well after lurking in the shadows for a few weeks and doing alot of reading and research here on the forum and internet. Today i made my first purchase  a gold sovereign and a south africa 2 rand not sure if two coins make me a stacker but its a start. Would just like to say thanks to all involved with the running of the forum, and will post a pic when they arrive  

[Paul]

Its as good a start as any, two nice chunk of yellow metal to start you off.  

If you have never seen these coins in the flesh before be prepared mentally to be able to handle "they are a lot smaller than I expected".

 

What out though it gets addictive and is seriously bad for your wealth!

 

On your second order if you get the feeling of a butterflies "kid on Christmas day morning" feeling in your stomach when the posty knocks, you're hooked and there is no cure for it

Great stuff Barney! Smart start in gold. Beware the temptations of the shiny silver though. I started off with gold (krugerrs, maples, brits, sovs) but then fell for some silver stacks/proofs. It is fun, addictive, and builds wealth. Enjoy!

[barney]

Right, we all need to hold Keith down, and torture him until he spill the beans about this "supplier" of his.  

 

£10 for the Queen Mum coins is absolute steal.

 

I'm moving to wherever Keith lives........
