thank you.

 

got my 1st '98. Another coming in the mail, was on a buying frenzy.

 

NICE!

 

Been working backwards toward the full set of Tiffany Art coins. Here are the most recent acquisitions:

 

2015 Rwanda Buffalo is now available for pre-order if you're interested. There may or may not be a code for free shipping if 5 or more are purchased....

Bought 1 roll of Mercury dimes and an empty Monster box to hold all my 90% Silver

 

Lovely coin. Great detail in the photo. Envious!

 

My second 98 just came in. A bit dirty but can't pass up the mintage.

 

Dirty or not, I'd be really interested to see how you are taking pictures of these as you are getting great depth and shadows. Care to post a wider shot?

 

I actually take my photos on my iPad mini. I angle slightly and tap the screen to autofocus while I snap the shot. All pictures are intially wide shots that I crop and center. And finish by using the rotating feature til it seems to sit right.

 

Thanks - I seem to put in more effort for far worse results! Libertads are nice coins though.

 

Hey guys! I just found this site! Been wandering around it and am impressed by this thread, some brilliant pieces here!
I purchased two tubes of 1 ounce 2014 maple leaves in hong kong last week for 7350 hk dollars, can any one tell me if i got ripped off or what?
I want to start building up a collection, should i get gold aswell?
I am really only interested in having somewhere to put my money for the moment, if that price turns out to be decent then i will prob get two tubes a month.

 

what is the conversion rate from Hong Kong dollars and US dollars ?

 

It depends. I think the Canadian Silver Maples come in tubes of 25, is that what you got?

Spot price for 40 ounces of silver should be about 5056.4 HKD.
Spot price for 50 ounces of silver should be about 6320.5 HKD.

A 10% premium on 50 ounces would bring the price to about 6952 HKD.
A 20% premium on 50 ounces would bring the price to about 7584 HKD.

I'm not sure what the typical premiums are in Hong Kong on Canadian silver, but assuming you purchased 50 ounces, I don't think 7350 HKD is a rip off.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, it's two tubes of 25, so close to 20% is standard?
It's just that from reading replies in this thread I got the impression that 3-5% is standard over spot for most silver, clearly I'm not paying attention or am missing something!

 

there's always premiums on government silver $3-5 dollars more of which I think sucks because when you go to sell it you never get that premium back but it is much easier to sell than generic silver rounds.

 

I know some of the guys here like to stack silver for future - I'm less convinced that modern bullion coins are a great investment. As pointed out above, you pay a premium above spot for silver that you are never guaranteed to get back. Some coins may increase in value as they had limited runs but that premium will only be realised with niche buyers, not melters. Maples are produced to sell mass numbers and at the cheaper end of bullion coins.

I like to collect modern bullion more as I like them, like looking at them, like photographing them, like collecting them and at the very least they will keep almost a spot precious metals price at the minimum. If I collected teapots or beer cans that future value is less certain. Each to their own though.

 

Agreed but which would you rather have 200 Maples or 200 of a variety that you can look at etc? I like variety.

 

Oh the whole point of my post was to mention variety over bulk. I also cherry pick the coins I want and not interested in duplicates. You made the point whereas I didn't
