AgAuSHOOT: 2021 Impact Moments: Meteorite (Germania Mint)

We have done some AgAuSHOOT’s in the past, but they’ve been few and far between, but that will change going forward. The first of our new ones is this gorgeous new coin from Germania Mint and Numizzmi. This producer actually puts out some pretty good official images (something much rarer than you’d imagine in the coin market, unfortunately), but even so, we were blown away but how much better the coin is in hand (our sincere thanks to Germania for the sample).

If you like the format, let us know, so we at least know we’re on the right track. We’ll keep most opinions and descriptions out of these articles, so head over to the actual news post for that. The AgAuSHOOT will be about letting you form your own view. We hope these will make it a bit easier. Next week we’ll do those cool tank coins from Russia, so you can probably guess I’m picking my favourite subjects to start with. One of the perks, as they say… Enjoy.
