Despite our desire for a little break from covering bullion coins, after a swathe of them hit us over the last ten days, they continue to come, so I guess here we are. Fortunately, it's yet another good one, continuing what has been a golden age for limited mintage bullion going back over the last few years. One [...]
No sooner than covering 20 new bullion coins and looking forward to a break, another one comes out. Scottsdale Mint seems to be on a mission to get up to date on 2022 issues, and the Ghana-issued 'African Leopard' is the next in line. Launched in 2017 in silver form, there's been a new design every year since, [...]
Bullion round-up 18: A busy May continues with more EC8, prehistoric sea life, and modern nature from around the globe It was only on Friday last that we published a round-up of new bullion issues, but it was clear that the number of new coins was too much for a single compilation, so we did [...]
Bullion round-up 17: The Caribbean, Australia, Ancient Egypt, and the planet Krypton all feature on new coins Time for our seventeenth bullion coin round-up, and yet again, I completely underestimated the volume of new releases, and the time taken to collate it all. We were hoping to publish this yesterday, but, despite already covering a few [...]
Germania Mint wraps up a second of its world-building bullion range, as the Beech Leaf concludes Mythical Forest After recently expressing sadness at the wrapping up of Germania Mint's 'Allegories' bullion series, we're back doing the same for their pretty 'Mythical Forest' series as well. The mint has done a top job crafting out a world [...]
A couple of new bullion coins from Scottsdale Mint have debuted. The first of them is the second in their Shoebill Stork series issued for the Democratic Republic of Congo. This strange, prehistoric-looking bird is a great idea for a coin series, and for the 2022 coin, they've depicted the bird in flight, and with a more ornate [...]
The Royal Canadian Mint expands its nature-themed bullion range with four new coins Famed for their various bullion series themed around the extensive fauna of this huge country, the Royal Canadian Mint has spent the last decade or so issuing small series of coins, like their 2011 Canadian Wildlife, and 2014 Birds of Prey series. Despite [...]
Spring Launch Special: CIT, MDM and Mint XXI take different approaches to the popular Lunar Dragon coin market The lunar market continues to be a regular fixture on the numismatic calendar, although less important than it seemed a decade ago. We stopped our annual round-ups back in 2019 after limited feedback on their usefulness, but a [...]
A perennial fixture on the numismatic calendar for longer than AgAuNEWS has been alive, the Perth Mint/Downies series 'Deadly and Dangerous' was once one of the hottest coin ranges around. Early issues of this series, garnered significant aftermarket appreciation, with the 2006 Red-Back Spider issue becoming almost legendary. The series doesn't attract quite as much attention [...]
Spring Launch Special: CIT releases a wide range of new issues, and here are three of our favourites It's Spring Launch time, and we're absolutely inundated with new coin issues from some of the industry's biggest producers, We obviously can't cover them all on release day (there are about 80 so far!), so we'll take three [...]
