[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 2166999, member: 4373"]I think everything has already been mentioned. Singapore silver coins are actually quite underrated and more so for gold and platinum coins. In fact I believe it's only a matter of time when Singapore coin prices start to climb up. While many are not aware of some of the feats Singapore mint did - Singapore did manage to strike platinum coins for herself and palladium coins for Bermuda. Sure, such precious metal coins don't seem to stand out too much. However if you research how many mints around the world actually managed to strike coins with such metals - I dare say that it's only a handful of mints that could afford to do so or have the expertise. To finish it off, here's a couple of coins to compare UNC [IMG]http://omnicoin.com/coins/997127.jpg[/IMG] Proof [IMG]http://omnicoin.com/coins/997137.jpg[/IMG] I don't have the silver version of it for comparison. It's one of those on the want list - can't just own everything I guess. I forgot to add - with the proof coins, if you look under the denomination, it has the Singapore mint mark. This does not appear on UNC coins. I'm not too sure when the mint mark was added - might be around early 1970s. The silver proof coin may have it as well.[/QUOTE]
