    Found this a a good price for 1/2 oz. of silver. I don't have many coins from South Korea but this might be a start. Has a minor scratch even thought it was still sealed in the original capsule.

    This is the new 50th Anniversary Silver version of the South Africa Krugerrand. I think this will be an instant collector coin even with a high mintage of 1,000,000.
    Mine came in a black bag with Coa. Hefty premium on this coin.

    I like the owl, but the text on the obverse bug me enough. I have it on a watch list and we'll see how I feel about in a week.

    This is not the most recently acquired world coin I have obtained. Perhaps it is the penultimate. I just adore the sweet little Kiwi on the reverse and since I don't have any other coin from New Zealand, I am happy to have this one.

    Had to add this to the collection. I have been collecting this series since it first came out in 2007. This is a special edition with a Kangaroo Privy. I hope the Perth Mint doesn't get carried away like Great Britain with the various privys and edge-marks on the Britannias.

    Beautiful, @Nas. Every time I look at my Olympic commemorative coin, I wish it depicted some type of skating! It has a rower.

    Thanks. The coin is in an edge-view holder, but I don't have any angled photos of the slab, and it's in my safe deposit box.

    I went with 2 rolls of nickels and 10 pennies at the usual bank (machine rolled) and 10 at the other bank in town (customer rolls). 3 pennies into the first machine wrapped got me a zinc 82D small date.
