We thought we'd throw in something a little light-hearted, and what better way to start the day than a fried egg. The Mint of Poland has always had a penchant for the unusual, and this certainly fits that description. It isn't the first time we've had an egg coin, with even the revered Monnaie de Paris [...]
A few days ago, we reported on a new five-bar range from Scottsdale Mint with a rather intense release schedule. Called 'Lucky Dragon', the bars are released every week, for five weeks, and only sold for that week. The mintage is capped at whatever the orders are for that week. The third came out today (above), and [...]
Scottsdale Mint heads off on its seventh bullion journey through the Eastern Caribbean, and there's aliens and unicorns as well (Week 42, 2024) With the debut of the seventh annual Eastern Caribbean 8 bullion coin program, we thought it would be a good time to catch up on those, and another couple of relatively recent bullion ranges [...]
The latest in Precious Metal Collector's copious line-up of fine art coins is now available to order, and this time it's a 1799 work by Jacques-Louis Davis, called 'The Intervention of the Sabine Women'. The painting is based around the story of early Rome, who set out to raid the neighbouring Sabine people, and capture their [...]
We've been covering Scottsdale Mint's ever-expanding range of coloured, one-ounce, minted silver bars for a while now, as we feel they do have some crossover with the coin market, having a reliance on artistic design. This particular range encompasses quite a few different themes, and we collected them all into one of our Bullion Profiles, so feel free [...]
Music legends don't get any more legendary than James Marshall Hendrix, known to the world as Jimi Hendrix. His mastery of the electric guitar was almost absolute, and his hits remain loved to this day. Born in 1942, he started with the guitar when he was 15, but only gained fame when he moved to England in [...]
The Mint of Poland celebrates Cleopatra, the work of Józef Chełmoński, and the Japanese tradition of Hanami It's been a little while since we visited the new releases from the Mint of Poland, despite quite a few of many producers coins being struck by them. I've chosen three of the latest, including an Egyptian one [...]
The second of the two new Carpathian Mint coloured, two-ounce cast silver bars released today is our favourite of the pair, part of their Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse range. This is also the second release, although this series will have four in total, and follows the earlier 'White Horse' bar. We reckon the Red Horse is [...]
The Carpathian Mint, amongst its often very impressive coin issues, also puts out some coloured, two-ounce cast silver bars under the Germania Mint program, and the two series currently ongoing, have both received new additions. The first one we're looking at is the second in their Grim Reaper range, showcasing imagery around everyone's favourite incarnation of death. [...]
The turning point of the Pacific Theatre in WWII, the Battle of Midway, is brought into focus on the Lithuanian Mint's latest silver coin Battles that change the direction of a war are few and far between. Many wars grind on for years, going back and forth, and that seemed to be the case in [...]
