Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

That is slick. It'll be hard to sale that, I would get attached to it. Unless I could trade it for an acre of land someday.:bear_w00t:

Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

That is one big silver tiger. That is the largest silver coin that I have seen.

Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

Super, super cool! I am planning on getting once of those for my wife who was born in the year of the tiger. Thanks for posting.

Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

That's what she said.

Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

Nice! I have a 2008 kilo Kook. It would be hard to part with.

Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

Holy Crap! Thats the first time I saw a pic of one of those in somebody's hand. You could cave in a skull with that thing!!. Was there a waiting period before you could pick it up? Is it registerd? Nice !!!

Hey, buy the 10 kilo tiger and show us a picture of that!

(Seriously, the 1 kilo is seriously cool!)

Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

That will be like a treasure after a couple thousand years. I don't know if the plastic capsule will last that long, LOL.

Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

Thanks for sharing!

Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

That could go over the side of a boat real easily. Be careful with it!

Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

Ahhh...the infamous APMEX white bubble envelope :5_1_120:

I just recieved an order with one packed a little too full and ended up with some cracked capsules on 2 oz Tigers :thumpdown:

I imagine they shipped that chunker in its own bag....great coin to pass down for generations to come....NICE SCORE!!!!

Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

I have a couple 1kg Kooks and I love them. Something about such a large, and beautiful, chunk of PM makes me smile. That tiger is cool...

Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

Thanks all, I still can't get over the heft of it. Feel like a new Papa or something :p

it's Gigantor. haha :bear_w00t:

Oh, only silver (yawn) It would have been more interesting if you had bot a gold tiger kilo-coin. Just kidding of course (or maybe just jealous). I am not all that wild about the huge coins though, truth be told; harder to stack. Usually the premiums are close to or the same as for 1 oz coins, and I'd rather have 28-29 1 oz coins over 1 32 oz one. This is for the nice high end premium coins anyway, since the "pretty factor" is part of the premium, so I would apply the pretty factor only 1x per coin, so I would prefer more coins for the money (more pretty!)

But if you're going for kilos, I have to say that I am a fan of the APMEX silver kilobars. They have this ridge around the top and an indent on the bottom so they fit together like legos. I want to get more to see how high I can stack them!

Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

Sexy. My only complaint is the huge premiums they want for the kilo coins...most I've seen are in the region of 200+% of spot.

I saw a 1kg Libertad at a recent show that I loved, but the dealer wanted $1400 for it. :banghead:

Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

gainesville coins has the kilo tiger for $656 which comes out $1.50 over spot. http://www.gainesvillecoins.com/prod...fNovember.aspx

Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

Good to know xinkid, that's quite an acceptable premium. I can say with fair certainty I couldn't even get Maples or Eagles locally at a buck fifty over.

Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

They have a 10 kilo tiger coin there too! $7,253.31 as of now. WOW!

The premiums on the 10 kilogram silver coins are silly. The price you listed comes out to $22.56/ounce.

Of course, the coin is 8.7" in diameter and almost 1.3" thick. They're probably NOT easy to make. The dies must be expensive too.

For the 2008 (series II) 10 kilo mouse coin, the total mintage was only 35 coins.

My 2009 silver kilo Ox just arrived from Gainesville Coins.

I agree with you, that is one GIGANTIC coin! The pictures don't do it justice.

BTW goldwish, I'm blaming you and your pictures for putting the idea in my head (and the dent in my wallet)...

Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

I have found blacking out one side of an air-tite takes care of that.:ok:

Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

damn - you can see every strand of her hair - that's some fine detail !

Re: Wow - Kilo Tiger!
 

all kinds of tiger designs coming out. I think these are my favorite coins now :) not sure about getting the 18k holo or the .925 sets though. decisions decisions!
