    I traveled to my LCS this morning (~1.25 hours each way and back) today to sell a surplus (collection multiple date) late 80's 1 oz gold mint-sealed Panda. I was paid $5081.00. I purchased this particular gold Panda in 2010, from the same shop.

    Perusing the shop cases I came upon trays of 1 oz Australian Kookaburra silver bullion of various dates. These are gorgeous coins. Until today I had only seen pictures but in person their beauty and mint quality is truly astounding...and the Kookaburra bird design changes EVERY year.

    I also collect silver China Pandas, with it's annual changing design. I thought, oh great...I can see buying just ONE Kook and then I'm addicted here too.

    All I thought about were Kooks on the trip home. Heaven help me ;)

    @lordmarcovan was selling a batch of five ounce Kooks but I believe he has liquidated all of them. I bought one of them and then sold it for some FUN walking around money. And yes they are quite attractive.

    Indeed, but they were ten-ounce Kooks!

    I do hear them out in nature once in a while.

    This is how they sound. Not my video by the way



    That is how they really sound!

    Yeah, I just used my points and bought one off Apmex for about half of spot. That's an above average design this year.
