While I don't own any Privateer rounds and while that series is not proof-like as is the American Landmarks series from which Liberty Island is from, I believe all products from the Elemetal Mint are outstanding and I'm convinced those who order will really like these rounds in hand. The 2 oz high relief size is just right to marvel at with or without loupe in hand.

And I don't mind the use of my pics...if it helps others appreciate some fantastic silver before they get the product in hand then all the better!

@mmissinglink many thanks

Some of the best photos of new coins, medals, and rounds that I've ever seen come from average people (not professional photographers) like you and I, not the mints. One would think the mint's would have top professional photographers available to create the best possible photos conceivable as to most successfully advertise their new products. But rarely is that ever the case....even the drawings they often use are not all that inspiring.

 

When I received my Grand Canyon and Liberty Island rounds, I was like these are way cooler than I anticipated and I realized that with little effort, I could snap better looking photos than most mints. The U.S. Mint is the worst of all....their product pictures totally suck compared to many of their actual collector coins / medals.

You will be glad you ordered the custom capsules...the rounds fit perfectly in them and since these rounds are fat indeed, storing them in a flimsy plastic pouch or whatnot just isn't a very good idea in my view.

I initially ordered a tube of the rounds and forgot to order capsules. When I received the rounds and saw how fat they are, I knew I had to get the capsules....so I bought those next....I'm glad I did.

You've sold them to me mmissinglink!

 

Sovereignsteve, have sent you a PM.

[mmissinglink]

My apologies to anyone who has sent me a PM and to whom I've not replied....not intentional.

I still have a lot to learn in terms of familiarization with the site's features and accessing PM's and things like that...let me see if I can locate where PM's are placed and I will respond to whomever may have sent a PM to me since I've started to come here regularly.

 

Steve1905, you are the smart one for taking my encouragement...you will be glad you did....I was glad I took my own encouragement to get the custom capsules.  When I received my capsules and saw how much better it was to keep them in the custom capsules rather than in the unwieldy plastic pouches I had them in (I did not want to store these lovely rounds in the tube that they came in...just wasn't right for rounds this aesthetically appealing to me), I knew I did the smart thing by buying the capsules....I even bought a few extra capsules so that when I get the next issues, if they don't come in the custom capsule, no problem, I will have some ready and waiting for those puppies.

Yes, on second look, I have.  Duh on me.    

[sovereignsteve]

Coins finally arrived. The Xmas post has been appalling for trans-atlantic items it appears!

A few of each type still available.

The Liberty really is nice.

[mmissinglink]

I'm glad they finally arrived sovereignsteve, even though that did take quite a while.

Did you order a Grand Canyon round as well? The final mintages are out on a number of these rounds and if I recall, the Grand Canyon thus far, has the lowest mintage of any of the 2 ounce ultra high relief rounds.

I Like the 2 oz ultra HR, id Like to get one! Sending to europe fine?

I ordered some on issue but they didn't seem popular over here. I still have a few spare.

These coins were actually tracking as in the UK on the 15th December, lord knows where they've been since then. They tried to deliver to me on Wednesday the 6th Jan.

They came out at the end of 2015.

Postage to Denmark is £2.50 but only insured up to £20

[George]

I was going to suggest a bigger purchase because of the cost to send just one or two pieces being not much less than several pieces sent safely.

The next price level covers up to £50 but costs over £8, or up to £250 for £11+

you can easily check prices and get a quote on the RoyalMail website

[sovereignsteve]

None left now. If anyone wants any, let me know, I can easily get a few more.

[mmissinglink]

I'm not surprised that the only place these rounds can be found is in the aftermarket (like eBay).

These are exceptional quality rounds and I look forward to the next American Landmarks issue.
