It's that time again! Perth Mint debuts its bullion ranges for 2017 The most anticipated day on the bullion release calendar is here again; the Perth Mint launching its new ranges for 2017. Opinions will vary as you'd expect, but personally, I think this is the highest quality all [...]
Scottsdale debut Egyptian Relic series of 5oz bullion coins at competitive prices A favourite subject for numismatics here, and from what we understand, in a huge number of other places, Ancient Egypt is full of more symbolism, iconology and history than almost every other ancient culture that's ever existed. [...]
The worlds second most popular silver bullion coin, the Royal Canadian Mints ubiquitous Silver Maple Leaf (SML), has a very limited appeal to collectors for two main reasons. Firstly, there are quite literally tens of millions of them, meaning rarity play no part in their numismatic appreciation. Secondly, the design never really changes in a fundamental [...]
Picking up the Star Trek license last year, the Perth Mint jumped straight in with a ten-coin series of Captain:Vessel sets released throughout the year. Comprised of five pairs of coloured silver coins, one for each of the live-action Star Trek series that have been produced over the franchise history, they employed some extravagent packaging to [...]
The second in the Scottsdale Mint's annual Congo Silverback series of bullion coins has debuted, appearing at big US dealer APMEX for pre-order. The first coin launched late last year and has been pretty successful, seemingly well liked by collectors. It had a very cool design, was well struck, and well presented, each coming encapsulated.

First appearing back in April 2014 with the Great White Shark, it was followed by the Hammerhead in April 2015. True to form, April 2016 [...]

Even though the designs split opinion somewhat - we like them a lot - the lunar range has [...]
The third in what is purportedly a 12-coin series of aquatic-themed silver bullion coins, Treasures of Oz have launched the follow-up to the Kakahi Yellowfin Tuna and the Mokoha Great White Shark. Depicting the incredible Sailfish, and titled Hakula Sailfish, the coin is identical in specification and art style to the previous pair. With a mintage [...]
One of the worlds premier bullion coins, the Austrian Mint's Wiener Philharmoniker (Vienna Philharmonic) has been a huge seller for many years. Generally, only the Canadian Maple Leaf and American Eagle bullion coins are bigger sellers, but still the Philharmonic has had sales of its silver bullion coin approaching 18 million units in a year (2011). [...]
A series that bullion collectors have no doubt been waiting for with baited breath after the completion of the Birds of Prey silver bullion programme, the Royal Canadian Mint have taken the wraps off their new silver series.
