[QUOTE="Phaz, post: 337803, member: 12637"]I've just recently gotten into this whole collecting thing, so unfortunately I missed out on a lot and still have a TON to learn. I've already stocked up on a decent stack of bullion coins, but have also been getting more and more addicted to the 1oz coins from various countries. I already have some kooks and pandas which are really stunning. I've been looking at the Lunar series, and have heard only positive things about them. I'd really like to own them all as a set. So, looking around on the Perth mint website, it seems like they offer gilded versions of them. I have been looking all over the net, but can't really find much first hand information about them (or anyone but the Perth Mint selling them). Does anyone have these? Is there a reason they aren't talked about? Do most people see them as kind of a gimmicky thing not worthy of collecting? I realize that they might not be a good investment from a collecting or numismatic standpoint, but if they look stunning I'd be more than happy to drop the money on a set. Also, has anyone from the US ordered directly from the Perth Mint before? I know they do a currency conversion thing when you order, and it looks like shipping would be about $35 or more, but are there any customs fees or anything that have to be paid?[/QUOTE]
