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 [...]
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.

Each of the two-ounce antiqued [...]
Number 46 of the 60 coins in Scottsdale Mint's epic 'Biblical Series' is upon us, and it's Samson and the Gates of Gaza this time around. He's depicted coming home from Ikea after a trip with Delilah, and she obviously decided to buy the big gate, Bakbrayka. What man doesn't sympathise with him? Hopefully, Delilah bought him some [...]
Bullion round-up 15: Batman, birds, dragons, scientists, monkeys, and a Slavic sea spirit, Does it get more varied than that! Part two is here, although we called it round-up 15 for clarity, and there's another varied selection from around the world. The Komodo Dragon literally just came out, and barely scraped in, but it's a great [...]
