    Octopuses are my favorite sea creature, now I'm gonna have to buy some of these just because I love Octopuses. ;)

    that coin is very nice brooklyn.

    NZ mint made some star wars ones last year that seem quite nice too. However its a full paint not half paint half silver showing like yours.

    And I'm a weak sucker, just ordered the Sea Life II - The Reef - Octopus. I couldn't resist, for signing up with the Perth Mint, I got free shipping on my first order. ;)

    I'd buy that Blue-Ringed Octopus one but since it's sold out, limited to 5k mintage, seems it's at least $300 or more and I already spent a good $250 on BU Silver quarters today to add to my Washington set. :thumb:

    really, I had no idea it had any value.

    Apparently so, my guess is, it's sold out and there's only 5,000 of them. The Sea Life II - The Reef coins seem to be limited to just 10,000 mintage for each in the series.

    You do not have to touch it with your fingers, use a stick, or a knife, so that if it move you can kill it.

    Giving this some thought, I couldn't really care about the speculative aspects of these coins. I'd love to have a spider. its a pretty coin. I'd NEVER spend 1800 bucks on it...I don't care if the mintage was 12.

    As I was reading through the thread I started to think that these Perth Mint painted coins were kinda neat. Then I read the post with the price tag and said, "WHAT THE @#$%!!!!!!!"

    EDIT: After a bit more research I've learned that the original asking prices are in the $75-$150 range. Not so flabbergasted by these prices.

    I have four of the six coins in the series. I think APMEX still has some for sale. I don't have the great white shark or the spider and don't think I ever will now. But I like them and wouldn't sell them.

    Just got my Reef II Octopus in the mail today. Sorry for the poor picture, DSLR battery was dead so had to snap with the phone.

    Hello

    Yes, I like that design. The abstraction of the colors within the pattern is very Chinese, colorful calligraphy. I bet they sell out quickly.

    Those are very very hot but I personally like the Black Widow and the Chinese mouse.
