Hey there, how are you all doing? I’ve been collecting quite a few things in the past couple of years but I have found that my genuine interests are in Perth Mint Silver coins, diamonds, gemstones and opals. Those three have captured my eyes :bigeyes:. Generally the Silver Themed collection in the Perth Mint has been by far my favourite, as I have a vast collection of these. But I feel that maybe the Perth Mint is getting too commercial with their themes?:headbang: With ones such as the Barbie and Transformers Silver Coins that have been introduced. Don’t get me wrong, I grew up playing Barbie dolls :secret: and watching Transformers as a child, but everyone’s different and I prefer more quality themes. But I’ve stumbled on this particular silver collection series online called Treasures of Australia locket coin series. In the silver coin locket you either get sapphires, faceted/ rough diamonds, opals or gold. I have found more value and appreciation in collecting these Treasures set than just a Barbie silver coin. As these treasures sets are a limited edition and most are already sold out through the Perth mint . I have started collecting from other sources, check out my latest win http://www.coins-auctioned.com/auct...pphireampkoala-silver-coin-series-18-100-2701 now I can hold the silver koala coin and the sapphires in my hand.:thumb: It’s a great hobby collecting coins, whether it’s buying for gifts, or purely for the joy of owning them. It’s never a dull moment for me!
Very unique, with the coin and gems separate. I have eyed the PM Treasures series but the ones I am familiar with are different and contain the gems/gold inside the coin itself as here: http://www.perthmint.com.au/catalog...a-sapphires-1oz-silver-proof-locket-coin.aspx When were these issued by the Perth Mint? I've never seen these before.
Hi, yes your right! Just clearing things up....the one i posted earlier was a similar type of treasure set that i found interesting on their site, that set in particular isn't from the PM (but the Koala coin a PM coin). However the website also sells the Treasure collection that you have posted the link on. Here is their link (They only have 6 different types left) http://www.coins-auctioned.com/sear...1oz+Silver+Proof+&button=Search&submit=Search
