That is gorgeous mate.

I'd love a 2oz mouse, and all the other 2ozers for that matter.

That could very well be the case MB.

Took delivery of my first 2ozer the other day and love it, so have another on the way.

So I guess I'm just dipping my toe in at the moment!!!

[Shamatti]

I don't know if it counts, but today I bought a camper van!

[ChrisSilver]

Shamatti, I would recommend blacking out your plate number

I've just done it for you. Using a free app called 'You Doodle'

Nice pile you got there!

Yesterday I bought a 2014 elephant with horse privy, and a lunar series 2 ox

[Pete]

A one ounce high relief Kangaroo.

Amazing design, smaller diameter but thicker with concave mirror - like faces.

The postie dropped off my 2 Benin elephants today. They were about £33 each Inc. postage. Not cheap I suppose but they do look good!

Yes, I agree they are absolutely gorgeous.

Hope they find somebody to mint it next year.

I've started collecting the high reliefs as well. They look amazing in the photos and in vids. I haven't seem any of mine in person yet. But I am hoping they are just as stunning!

I've been looking into getting the Kookaburra high reliefs - only started in 2012 so, only three to get so far!

I went a bit mad and am currently in the process of sourcing all of the Perth Mint high relief coins from various places. (kookaburra, kangaroo, koala, lunar) I don't know how well they will do as an investment, but I want to collect them all

These high relief series are still quite young, so they will probably grow with popularity over time.

I like the silver kangaroos, gives you a chance to buy some low priced roos (opposed to collecting the expensive gold versions!)

[doogs]

On a whim I bought a slabbed 2013 1oz Panda graded MS70. Should be here in a week or so.

[morezone]

I've took the plunge and ordered a 1/10oz gold Maple, Kugerrand, Philharmonic and Britannia.  I've decided I'm going to collect 1/10oz gold coin as well.  It took 2 days of deep thought to decide whether to go for 1/4oz or 1/10oz. Although 1/4 would have been a better size and premium, I want to back date some of the other coins (Pandas and Roos) and 1/4 wouldn't have been affordable.

 

When I get them, I'm going to crack them from their packaging and handle them directly with bare ahnds and have a good fondle and play.

I've resisted the temptation so far but I know I want to!

Same here!!!

Ugh. After saying I was done for April, another unmissable deal showed up.

Just purchased two 1.5oz wildlifes, a bear and a fox, for £48 the pair delivered.

High res pics provided, one very tiny spot on the queens side of the bear. And I mean about the size of her eye lol.

I'm happy with that, and just couldn't pass it up.

You got yourself a steal mate. That is a great price. Arctic fox is crazy expensive.

Cheers KL, how much are the foxes going for now?

[klacey]

Foxes are about £30-32 each

Cool. At least the £16/oz will bring my average down a bit!!!
