Silver Notes Hitting the West

[morezone]

I'm a new collector of silver and gold notes and all of them have come from China.  Main sources are the banks, China Post, CGCI and the Nanjing Mint.  A few have also come from private companies/mints.

The recent Avengers Civil War and Captain America Shield coins from Scottsdale Mint have included a 2g COA made of silver.

Apmex currently have a 5g silver note for sale which has come from Lucius Precious Metals in Hong Kong.  I have no idea who minted/manufactured them.  Whether LPM commissioned them and Apmex are just re-selling them or whether Apmex commissioned them and LPM were the middle man in the supply chain.  LPM does have a 1g gold note for sale which Apmex does not.

Now it seems that the Royal Canadian Mint are also selling silver notes.  These however are not manufactured in house and are being bought in from MDM in Germany.  Again, I don't have any info on who has manufactured them.  They could be coming from the private Mints in Germany or they could be buying them in from one of the Mints in China.

Looks like we'll be seeing more of these notes in the future.

@morezone is this 5 g lunar set for sale somewhere?

[fehk2001]

LPM has close relationship with apmex , when you walk in English speaker can check the item before deal finalised but if you speak Chinese you have to pay first lol 

the main man for these dealings called Nigel if you need to contact him via web email

Not yet.  It's a subscription with only 1 per month over the next 12 months.  I tried looking on MDM but can't find it so not sure if they're selling them.  I think it may be a difficult one to get as it's USA and Canada only.

I have a couple of each the Nanjang Mint 5g lunar notes, I like them so decided to take a punt on them and a mintage of 5000 for the initial ones could be value if they do take off in years to come and the mintages rises.  

[fehk2001]

 you can see the gold coins before purchase but silver coins in tubes no 

i should be there again just before end of the month

Have a couple of Monkeys and 3 of the 3D pandas. Did you know the machine broke after printing 300 only of the 3D notes making this the rarest one from the recent Nanjing releases. Prices are rising on these and the other panda silver notes too.

Can someone please post a pic of the panda note?

[morezone]

3D Panda.  Also comes in normal and coloured.

[Agpanda]

Thanks, might get some of those

I think the foil notes are very nice, ordered months ago to be delivered with the temple of heaven.

@morezone could I ask where you picked up the acrylic frames with the magnets for the notes.

 

[morezone]

@Quicksilver

6 x 4.  Fits gold perfect.  Fits most silver.  Some are 1-2mm too long.  I did originally have the silver in a bigger frame but space started becoming an issue.

Pasted from APMEX -

As low as $19.99 per item! 
These 5 gram Silver notes are an innovative way to own Silver, which is convenient, affordable, and versatile.

Bit of a poetic licence inferring this is an affordable way of collecting silver.

Affordable yes, good value no.

Convenient yes, easy to store.

Versatile? Can you melt them down if you need to?

[morezone]

You could melt them down, I'm sure the plastic will just burn away and anything left will form a slag layer or similar.

Definitely not for stacking and is just for collecting.
