I doctored yesterday and spent that kind money for meds and evaluation. Not sure what bit me. I was in bed. That is a nice coin. Nic Pic!
What does "Simply Unavailable" mean? Kind of a contradiction seeing as how it's for sale and is "available". You're a kooky nut sometimes Ruben.
They are very nice looking coins...not my style, but they did a nice job on them. However, they certainly can be found for sale. There are 2 currently on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Perth+mint+funnel&_sacat=0&_odkw=Perth+mint+funnel&_osacat=0
I prefer coins with history, and not made just for collectors last week. But, to each his own, and I truly am glad it is enjoyable to you Ruben. Thankfully we don't all collect the same things, or coin collectors would probably be a lot less friendly to each other.
That is one of the beauties of this hobby...it's so broad that everyone can make it their own. In my eyes, this is a lot like the modern US commemoratives. They are newly minted and designed for collectors. I'm not a huge commemorative collector either...but some people really like them.
I do man. I truly am grateful, deep down, that so many collectors like new, shiny coins. That way they leave the old, dirty, crummy coins for me, and don't drive up my prices. Keep em coming!
