    Three months after ordering it the Perth Mint finally sent me a Blue Ringed Octopus coin today :)

    So those that complain about the US Mint, keep that in mind!

    Too tired. But it looks not much different than my other one with less strike and slightly, ever so slightly color.

    Yeah - I think it is a special coin. My next one is the Dutch Manhattan celebration coin.

    Good luck. The mint isn't selling any more.

    I didn't plan on getting one right now so the mint was out of the question anyway. I'll pick one up down the road...it's on my list. ;)

    Nice write-up on your website, Ruben, and beautiful photographs. I wonder how they achieve that color on those things?

    Amazing what they can achieve on those things in terms of color. I'm still waiting for them to come up with a chia coin. Let me know when you find one of those. :D

    It looks like some kind of Enamel ... but the color is vivid, detailed and diverse.
