eddyk Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Westminster Colection only go as far back as last year.Royal mint go as far back as 2003 but only do them in gold.24carat.co.uk is too expensive, and also not enough description. Quote
Geoff T Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Try Airedale Coins in Yorkshire www.airedalecoins.comThey make something of a speciality of modern stuff and I've had Britannias from them at a reasonable price.Geoff Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 I've got a 2 ounce Proof 1992 Australian Kookaburra. That's a whopping coin, and one of only 5000 struck. Interested? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Oh yes, it's also in a black case with a popper to keep it closed, and has the certificate from the Australian mint. It's number 3598 out of 5000. It's all perfect.I need £42 for it (and postage cost). Quote
eddyk Posted July 19, 2005 Author Posted July 19, 2005 Nah Im alrite.Theres a 2oz Silver Proof Australian Lunar coin on ebay...ends in 3min...not bids and at £16 Quote

eddyk Posted July 21, 2005 Author Posted July 21, 2005 Do you have any 1oz silver coins?Maybe britannias Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 No, generally I leave modern stuff well alone, because it's overpriced and will just increase in value with bullion/inflation.You should have a word with the other young gents in here and perhaps try diversifying to some real coins Quote
eddyk Posted July 21, 2005 Author Posted July 21, 2005 I have a few 'real coins'....but not many.Im just filling a coin display box I have, Just 6 spaces left now...then Ill move onto the historic stuff. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Everything is historic, but not everything is made to be circulated....All modern coins that go straight into capsules aren't, and that is the difference in my mind between 'real coins' and novelty coins. Quote
