US$129 + US$16 FedEx.

Might seem a bit pricey -- until you compare it with the similar 2014 Gods Of Olympus coins (mintage 1500/ea). Like this one for $460: http://www.apmex.com/product/83312/2014-tuvalu-2-oz-silver-gods-of-olympus-poseidon-bu-high-relief

Oops. Wrong forum? Definitely not a U.S. coin.

Maybe a Moderator will move it soon.

 

That's easy! Just click on "Report" and state the reason for moving it.

I reported it for you.

Thanks!

Is that the wolf Fenrir--the wolf who devours everything in sight during the Ragnarok apocalypsie?

 

Which side is Odin, the obverse or the reverse (LOL)?? Jack

 

Odin had 2 pet wolves, Freki and Geri. Also 2 pet crows, Hugin and Munin.
I see the second wolf behind the horse (silhouette behind mouth of the horse) but where's the other bird?

 

Left it at home?

 

Isn't that the other wolf to the right of the spear, at 5 o'clock? Jack

 

Say what you like... this coin sold-out on the 1st day.

More importantly, I really like this coin in-hand. It's a keeper.

Sorry for my poor photo... the coin is actually silver pewter, not this coloring...


I think the antiqued effect works well with this coin. And they even did an amazing job with the packaging.

OTOH, there's something about this Kangaroo coin that I find disappointing...



The display packaging doesn't work for me either.

But if you like this coin, they're still available: http://www.perthmint.com.au/catalog...016-2oz-silver-high-relief-antiqued-coin.aspx
