St Helena silver 2018 trade dollar

[orion]

Just saw these at my LCS and the coin looks great in hand. Mintage of only 10,000 coins with half sold. First time I’ve seen a St Helena coin.

[richatthecroft]

Oh my goodness, this looks fab.  Does your local coin store sell on the internet? Or I wonder if any of the bullion dealers here in the UK are stocking this online?

Nice coin that's similar to the oriental bordered Britannia.

[Seasider]

Lovely.  What is on the other side - is it like the original British Trade Dollar or the Queen?

Old Queenie's portrait looks a lot better on the gold but all round a nice coin ?

I'm never catching up on my shopping list at this rate. Especially when a nice gold one gets thrown in the mix.

edit: oh, i see on Apmex the gold will be proof, and just 200 mintage. That's me out.

Marvellous design, been looking at the trade dollar recently and really like it.  Only downside will be getting them in UK with out paying delivery.  

Odd though that gold is saying Niue and silver says St Helena, and is the later known for coin issues?

There are plenty of gold Niue coins and yes i noticed the different origins. i must say i like the gold design much more. It has more of an original trade dollar design.

Well as the coin is priced over 25€ it would be expensive working out at 8€ - multiple coins are cheaper.

I just ordered 50 from LPM of the silver BU. Limited mintage so it should do nicely on the after market

[999magnum]

I ordered this on ebay. I don't know what this is or how much I payed. I'm sure it has no value, but anybody know what this is?

Hmm, kind of a threadjack...sorry.

[richatthecroft]

Ordered Silver version from Aurinum.de today.  Can't wait for this one to arrive. Wish I was in the market for the 1oz Gold.

Not available yet though.  https://goldsilver.be/en/miscellaneous/1729-1-oz-silver-british-trade-dollar-st-helena-2018-medal-round.html

Pity as Group Order just around the corner.  I've ordered mine from Aurinum.de not withstanding a balk-worthy £7 to ship.  Didn't have enough funds to make it worthwhile as I'm commited to other stuff right now, but I just 'needed' this coin!

Strange I'm sure it was available when I looked at it. They must have not had many in perhaps and sold out quickly.

There is also a proof version. Also from Niue and same design as the gold version.

[happy2gether]

Yes at LPM

[augur]

The BU is available at muenzdachs for €23.95 – 50 cent cheaper than gs.be

With enough interest we could run a little group order.

Saint Helena is an island which, along with Ascension Island and Tristan da Cunha, comprise an Overseas British Territory. It is not uncommon to see St. Helena and Tristan da Cunha on coins.

The new East India Company’s coins are all minted with “St. Helena” on the reverse.
