2017 Silver Penny for my newborn. Nothing spectacular, but still a nice coin.

Nice picture today by @TheBeast in the koala thread. A lovely '08 kilo. Wonder how much it was?

Got me thinking about the koala range. Admittedly not the most liked, regarded or discussed. I chose not to get them all, myself, but when it's a year i like the design i do get some. And i would like to see it go on and on, anyway. My favourites are the '07, '12, '16.

The '16 was a nice looking one, after what were a few weak years ('13,'14,'15). I especially find the '16 cute because it's walking in that way a drunk might. Wide eyed and using careful, too deliberate steps.

Any favourites out there? Anyone a firm fan the whole series? Even if not, is it a series you would like to see continue for many more years? I would.

Thank you for the compliment, but i didn't bought it myself, I inherit it by will from my uncle.

@TheBeast That makes it even more special for you. It is a beautiful gift by your uncle, and it will always be a special one in your collection. Did he know you were interested in coins, or since inheriting this has got you interested in them?

Yes it's very special to me  and it's also my first coin.
I did know he was collecting coins but not special ones like these  after seeing it i'm hooked.

They look better in a capsule. I'm not taking the risk of them getting PVC damage.

i have looked at this before - i have some PAMP bars myself.

. Where can I check certificate numbers for PAMP bullion products?

We do not provide this as a general service, however we may do so under exceptional circumstances. If you believe yours is such a case please contact us.

Not very helpful. i also had a go at finding the date of a vintage Silvertowne bar - no help from those people either. So much for these numbers.

The only way to truly date pamp products is by the style of the pamp stamp and assay stamp - I have attached the document - looks like the entire document did not attach - just google history of pamp and find this document - it will contain the date ranges for the stamp assay.

Could anyone tell me how to date these PAMP bars please . Drawn a blank using the usual channels..

In general - you can determine that a bar with no letter as the first item in the serial # is older than a bar with one :

i believe the ages of bars are as follows:

no letter in serial - oldest

letter A

letter B

letter C

letter D - newest

etc.

so the oldest bar of the bunch is the 025703.
