Back with a third issue, MTB-PAMP's 'Sweethearts' range returns with three new messages of love. The Swiss producer has made the candy/sweet world an almost personal fiefdom, with their eclectic range of PEZ dispenser sets, Sweethearts, and even Bazooka Joe Bubblegum, and they're primarily undenominated silver bullion items, produced in limited sets. That's the case with Sweethearts III. [...]
The second of MTB/PAMP's very popular Fender Stratocaster guitar-shaped coins is now upon us, and after the joys of Surf Green, we move on to the first optional colour Fender ever made the Stratocaster in, way back in 1957, Fiesta Red. This is basically just a differently coloured version of the green issue, but sympathetically coloured in that [...]
It's hard to keep track of what popular culture franchise is owned by what mint, especially when they began to be fragmented by region, but nevertheless, they continue to diversify. MTB-PAMP has issued several coins for the DC Comics Universe, and the latest is a neat Wonder Woman logo coin, of one-ounce silver in weight. This isn't the [...]
Still ticking along, MTB-PAMP's neat little silver PEZ homage continues with a seventh release, the fourth of them themed for the Christmas holiday. The PEZ candy market remains huge, and collecting the plastic dispensers is a market all of its own, so a bullion product tapping into that was always a good idea, since continued with Bazooka Joe bubblegum, [...]
After PEZ and Sweethearts, MTB/PAMP adds Bazooka bubblegum to its range of silver bullion homages to classic sweets In the early 1950s, the Topps Company, famous now for its trading card business, tasked cartoonist Wesley Morse with creating a new set of characters for comics to go with the 'Bazooka' bubblegum it had released in 1947 He [...]
Our Bullion Coin Profile of AllCollect's neat Predators: Extinct series was put together a couple of years ago, and covered the first seven coins in the series. This is not an easy series to follow, it isn't even featured on the producer's own site, and virtually no dealer (even APMEX, who have most of them), has them all. [...]
Sitting proudly on Liberty Island in New York Harbour, the Statue of Liberty is a 93 m tall neoclassical sculpture, donated by the people of France to the people of the United States. Dedicated on October 28, 1886 after over a decade in construction, the statue was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and built by the [...]
MTB/PAMP are returning to their hit Fender licence with a revival of the two-coin guitar-shaped series that finished in July last year. That series consisted of a one-ounce Stratocaster, and a one-ounce Telecaster guitar. They appeared to sell very quickly indeed, and in conjunction with a small range of solid silver guitar picks, have picked up quite [...]
The third coin in PAMP/MTB's 'Animals of Africa' shaped silver coins is now available. Following the Nile Crocodile and the African Lion, the African Elephant is formed in an ounce of 0.9999 silver, and reaches out to a decent 42 mm in size. It's actually an impressive coin, showing clear advances, especially the very small border, over earlier [...]
MTB-PAMP have made quite the splash with their interesting homage to candy behemoth PEZ. With each release selling out in short order, it's clear the concept has legs, so in January of 2021, they added another iconic sweet replica to their silver bullion range - Sweethearts. Following the same idea, these are 1:1 replicas of the originals, [...]
