Re: Which Silver Bullion Set is your Favorite Brittanias are gorgeous, even if I can only afford the "scruffy" ones that apmex sometimes has. The 1st set of lunars are great too, but I'm not at all wild about the 2nd series (I hate that font they use).

Re: Which Silver Bullion Set is your Favorite 2 Attachment(s) New Zealand Kiwis I only have 2004, 2005, and 2007 so far. The only silver bullion coins I own that are not SAEs, Maples, Libertads, or Prospectors. Very low mintages... Still have Ronald McDonald on the obverse, however... :favorites21:

Re: Which Silver Bullion Set is your Favorite Oh yeah, I forgot the silver Philharmonics! I picked some of those up when they first came out. Very nice coin...

Re: Which Silver Bullion Set is your Favorite Had to think about that one a while and eventually voted for the Britannias. http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...itannia3-1.jpg

Re: Which Silver Bullion Set is your Favorite I like the Kooks! I just started collecting them when I saw the 2008 version. Now if they only had a silver or gold coin with mallards on them I would have a new favorite. TAB

I may have been guilty of that myself at one point, but I'm older and wiser now. I have a little different view of quality now, as well.:wink:

Re: Which Silver Bullion Set is your Favorite For hoarding I have eagles for my fave atm, but for collecting for fun I kinda like the new koala series. I have a coupla rolls of each year so far- if they catch on and become popular I'll sell them as sets. Uh... I hope they become popular. Fwiw I had to pay MUCH more for 2008 rolls than 2007- a good sign I hope. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...-koala-300.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...KOALA20Rev.jpg

Please tell the queen mum to spit out the gumballs she is holding in her mouth, then I will vote for your Kiwis.

Re: Which Silver Bullion Set is your Favorite The Lunars are my favorite, with the Britannia's coming a close second. My favorite Brittania: http://www.panix.com/~barman/Britann...tannia-Rev.gif

angryhippy | 09-26-2008 04:12 PM
Re: Which Silver Bullion Set is your Favorite I probably voted for Lunars at the time, but I am currently really fond of the 2008 Kooks.

She is pretty, but I voted ages ago for "other" - The Mighty Organ on the Phillies. :bear_tongue:

Re: Which Silver Bullion Set is your Favorite As far as hoarding... ASEs, original rolls, mint sealed. As far as collecting... Any Australian coin that has a nice picture, is still in a case, and 10oz or kilo sizes.

I'm with you on this one. I like the fact that they are available in different sizes, 1/2, 1, 2, 10 and Kilo. I'm not sure if they have 1/2 Kilo or 5 ounce sizes. I also like the Kooks and lunar for this reason. Then again I think artistically one the better coins available.

No kidding! Actually, I sold my Kiwis. 2004 - $50, 2005 - $156, 2007 - $83. Not bad, considering that I bought them for $35 each a couple of years ago. Now my silver consists of: SAEs Maples Libertads Philharmonics Prospectors I like Libertads because they have no face value, unlike SAEs, Maples, and Phils. As far as numbers go, I currently have more Prospectors than anything else, followed by SAEs, Phils, Libertads, and then Maples. I like 'em all, though, and try to stock up on whichever one is cheapest, when I'm ready to buy. Bought most of my Phils during this latest dip, got some shipping from Bullion Direct right now, should be here early next week.

My favorites are Kookaburra and American Eagle followed by Phils. I also have Koalas, Maples. Why Philharmonics? When I hold those in hand they just look and feel like real money. There is something about Phils I like. The more I look and feel those the more I like them. :emotions16: Other silver coins just look like some kind of collectable thing. Pretty collectable of course ;)

TomD | 10-03-2008 10:22 AM
Re: Which Silver Bullion Set is your Favorite Just my personal opinion but I don't see SAE's, Maples, Philharmonics as sets per se. To be a coin set as opposed to some coins with different dates it seems that there should be some difference between the years.

Re: Which Silver Bullion Set is your Favorite I'm curious why no one mentioned Kangaroos. First post and I know I'm rehashing an old thread. Hope that's not a major faux pas around here. At the moment, Skippy's are tied with Britannias as my favorites. Their mintages are similar to early Brits (or below them). They feature new designs every year and the craftwork is exceptional. Like some Brits and most Kookaburras (which are also high on my list of favs), the specimen designs are essentially reverse proofs. I particularly like the 2001-03 Aboriginals, which make for a nice, short sub-set. I guess the answer to "what is my favorite?" question tends to depend on the current state of things, though. I'm also quite fond of SAE's, Maples, Libertads and Phils. When spot prices are low I tend to favor these more widely distributed, "by the roll" types. BTW, eyeofliberty's photo of the Kiwi now has me wanting to add some of those. I was not familiar with them before. Any tips on finding them?

Re: Which Silver Bullion Set is your Favorite Here's a set I'm fawned of. Ever see one? (In case you're wondering, that's my desktop pal Beta Fish...his name is Puplava) It's a 1982 First Annual Sunshine Mining Proof Set (each coin has the serial # on the edge) (1) 5oz (1) 1oz (1) 1/2 oz and (2) 1/4 oz's http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...E/IMG_0724.jpg http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...E/IMG_0725.jpg

Purdy cool! I've never seen a round Sunshine 5 oz. While I'm not big on purely generic bullion, any with well known maker's ID like yours are OK stuff.

Re: Which Silver Bullion Set is your Favorite While this may not be cosidered a set but my favorite silver is the 1970's 1-oz silver art bars made by mints such as Madison, USSC, and Mother Lode.

Junk Woody | 02-12-2009 07:22 PM
Re: Which Silver Bullion Set is your Favorite All though I do not own any I voted for the Brits. I had to flip a Maple leaf to decide over the Kooks,they placed 2nd . then the Libertads

To the contrary actually. It's pretty common here to get several posts into a thread only to go, hey!, this sucker is years old. I think it's the internet equivalent of dumpster diving. Dig to your hearts' content.

Re: Which Silver Bullion Set is your Favorite I went with the Lunar series... Sure I like the Britannias.. But my top 3 in order would be. 1 Lunar 2 Kookaburra 3 Britannia

G.Gordon | 02-13-2009 08:33 PM
Re: Which Silver Bullion Set is your Favorite I think that the Britannia's are better artistically. But I have to say that the lunars are my favorite because they feature animals, which non coin or silver collectors can appreciate. I have gotten my seven year old niece into appreciating coin collecting by giving her lunars as gifts, she gets excited about them and shows them to family friends and relatives.

Thats not a bad price at all from gainesville. Have you purchased a lot with them? Decent shipping times / response times? I like the Phil's also. They have a nice mirror finish! I think the Britianias may be 'cooler' but not for the premium they demand.

I just placed an order over the weekend with them for some SAE's. They are easy to deal with, shipping is quick. Good outfit.
