    It looks like the colors shift in the printed ink area. That is neat. I don't collect painted coins but that is neat.

    That is the Perth Mint. They are the hardest people to work with, but I finally got this one months after i purchased two of them.

    Well, the Greeks painter their statues, so i can't see why we can't paint some of our coins, if done in taste and style. I liked many of the Perth Animal Coins but most are impossible to get your hands on.

    Cool
    I think that most coin collectors are on the traditional side- these may take while to win people over. That being said these seem to be carefully done and not cheesy (which could be a danger with these)

    While I do like the painted coins from the Perth mint, I just cant bring myself to spend that much on modern coins. When I first started I thought about going for the same set you posted. But a quick calculation quickly changed my mind. I may still pick up a few items in the future if I'm lucky enough to get one before its sold out.
