<p>[QUOTE=&quot;esgems, post: 623998, member: 19138&quot;]Hey there, how are you all doing?</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; 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:</p><p>&nbsp; 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.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; 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. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; As these treasures sets are a limited edition and most are already sold out through the Perth mint <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I have started collecting from other sources, check out my latest win</p><p><a href="http://www.coins-auctioned.com/auctions/australia-treasures-sapphireampkoala-silver-coin-series-18-100-2701" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coins-auctioned.com/auctions/australia-treasures-sapphireampkoala-silver-coin-series-18-100-2701" rel="nofollow">http://www.coins-auctioned.com/auctions/australia-treasures-sapphireampkoala-silver-coin-series-18-100-2701</a></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
