So this'll be the third coin of the series, really liking it and pleased they've gone with the reflexion again, gonna look awesome in the flesh, another on my long list.

Agree - But still for the love of me cannot understand how the first coin in the series ( Venerable Collared Lizard)  was viewed as being consistent with that which followed.

 

Now seeing the third, I'm more convinced that the use of colour was due to the need to bring the definition out and an original poor design when this was viewed as bare metal. Also good that this is being caped at 2000 like the Rhino and as opposed to the 5000 for the lizard

The RCM latest in the Birds of Prey series, the Red-Tailed Hawk.

Its a pity the whole bird is not on the coin, but looks good.

I agree there, I don't know why they feel the need to cut the wings off the coin, it's a shame, there's also a new 1oz gold howling cougar which's a nice design.

Got a couple of silver 2015 Brits this week and can confirm the surfaces have a rippled/ dimpled finish so don't show up all the fine lines and scratches synonymous with the 999 silver Britannias in the past.

Canadian 1oz Polar Bear & Cub

It is a similar design to the 1oz Fox (the proof version of the 1.5oz bullion fox) or the 1.5oz Polar Bear or the 1.25oz Bison or the 3/4oz wolf.

 

Is this a set? or just random coins?

[daz]

no idea if its part of a set , but nice design

[Agau]

Now the Polar Bear & Cub in 1.5oz, part of the 1.5oz series.

 

 

The 1oz version is the "premium " version of this coin, same as with the Arctic Fox. The 1oz "premium" versions have apparently a mintage of only 7500.

[Luker2]

Have never purchased any "art bars" in the past  but would definitely make an exception in this case, should the premium be reasonable (I am in Canada so the VAT is not an issue)

 

Cheers,

Luker

Saw this coin on EMK, a new coin from Greece looks quite good i think.

Hyped shiny rock...check!

Plugged by Salivate...check!

Overpriced...check!

That is the coin for me. Gotta get one. Let me just cash in junior's college fund...

I see the 5oz HR kook is at EMK. Not quite as much as I thought it would be.

50.60 in diameter versus the 65.60 of the Chinese Ancient Mythical Creatures.

And here's the Battle of Britain coin (but will it bomb?).

[lightjaw]

I like the battle of Britain one personally.

Looks better in the presentation case picture than head on, sometimes they don't seem to put enough effort into the publicity pictures. Might keep a watch on ebay to see if any crop up at a decent price.

Might be a typo.  Perth Mint has the Mythical down as 50.60mm.

I found this cool round made by Degussa. Only 4500 sets are made

and reasonably priced at 24,97 €.

You have a site address?

[KevinG]

You have a site address?

 

Yes i do, but apparently they only ship within Germany.

So we will have to look somewhere else to secure one of these.

A great design is the 2015 1 oz "Year of the sheep" from Silver shield

www.silvercoins.dk/silvershield.html

Great antidote to the myriad "year of the whatever coins" doing the rounds, unfortunately also comes with the dreaded Silver Shield premium on the price, in the UK that is.

Just had a look at the description of this round,

"The final detail is a lonely sheep dog howling a distant warning, which symbolizes those that are aware and prepared."

The old peepers aren't what they were, where's the dog?

Ah, found it.

What is the price for "year of the sheep" in the UK?

[Hookythestacker]

There's a proof on ebay for £55.00 plus £2.50 p&p, quite a few Silver Shield/ Silver Bullet rounds from this seller as well.

I believe this next seller is a forum member, £27.99 in an airtite free p&p

These are ebay prices, not really my sort of round anyway, though I do quite like this one. Somebody UK based and into SS and SBSS may well know of cheaper sources, stacking is not really a 

mainstream activity in the UK, together with VAT we tend to pay over the odds for our silver when bought in the UK. Especially with rounds like this, which have fringe appeal on an already fringe activity
