N.Z. Star Wars

I was kind of bummed out, and excited at the same time. I was shopping on APMEX and wanted the latest New Zealand, Star Wars, Darth Vaddar coin. I put in an order for 5 coins. Unfortunately I got a message explaining there was only 1 remaining in stock. So I got the very last one. But I did get one. 

I finally understand the demand for collector coins. I only recently became aware of these coins, and the older releases are insanely expensive already. Over $100 each. This makes me even happier for getting in earlier on with the Queens Beast series. I just can't bring myself to pay so much for the older coins. 

I have to be completely honest. I think I have all but abandoned generic silver or gold. The coins come with a triple benefit. They are, at minimum, worth the face value. Then they are always worth the spot price, usually with the premium. Then there is the numismatic appreciation of the coins. I don't knock anyone for their own strategy. But I have finally refined my personal strategy. I want to diversify between SGC's (standard government coins) as my foundation. Then I will be going heavy toward collector series, which I find attractive/ artistic, or with sentimental value EG star wars. Finally I will have the smallest allocation toward proof coins. 

This seems to be a good method for me. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone knows where I can get Spanish silver coins, please let me know.

What kind of spanish silver are you looking for? There is pre-XIX (reales), XIX (Amadeos), XX (king's and Franco's duros and pesetas) and more recent ones 2000pta/12€ coins (I have some of these myself)

The Niue/New Zealand Vader coin pushed me into buying silver, and is a great, simple design.  I hope they go on to a series, with a simple bullion coin with other characters each year.  Normally Star Wars coins are collectors/proofs with a start price £60+,  which a little rich for me (though i'm coming round on the idea of proofs... :lol:).
