The first several pieces of silver I got (besides broken chains I was melting down into jewelry) were Australian pieces. I got the 2015 Kookaburra, and before I knew it, I was addicted to Kooks. I was trying to get every year, with my friends buying me kooks every year for awhile. I got about 1/2 of them before I decided it was too expensive for me. But that’s how I got into silver to begin with. Love the Perth Mint. I also have a couple of the half ounce sharks. Lots of fun coming out of that country

Perth has great quality and designs, no doubt! Keeping up with a series is expensive and time consuming. I really like the Kooks but had to decide to collect only one series from the Perth Mint, so the Koala it was.

I enjoyed this video, in spite of the fact that I'm just not a big fan of Australian Silver. I had some Crocodiles and I think either Tarantulas or Funnel-Webb Spiders a few years back, but I ended up selling those off when I suddenly needed to replace my hot water heater, furnace, and AC unit all at the same time. I can't say exactly what turns me off about the Australian stuff, but I think it's just because it's too pretty and gimmicky, which might not be the best excuse. I guess it's just something that doesn't appeal much to me. I'm much more into American coinage and old American vintage stuff. Your collection is very nice though, and I appreciate you taking the time to show it off. Glad to be catching up with what's going on in your stacking/collecting journey. Have a great week my friend!

Thank you for catching up on some of my videos! You know I always appreciate your comments. I like some of the Perth Mint series like the Koala. Of course, I'm mostly a bar stacker so I do not pick up that many modern coins. Have you noticed the supply of 90% Constitutional silver is still scarce? I've been thinking of picking more up- Barbers if i can find them.
@veritasfiles
2 ай бұрын
@@SilverStruck Actually, lately it's been more available, at least in my area, and the premiums seemed to have temporarily decreased. Are you looking for run of the mill Barbers or some specific coin and condition? I ask only because I have a number of Barbers that I've picked up over the years. I don't keep them in my core stack, but I just pick them up occasionally when I see them for a decent price. I typically have them in the smaller stacks I build for others and/or to insulate my core position from being impacted by anything but the most dire of emergencies. I think one of my last videos that I did months ago has a good number of my Barbers in it. Let me know if you're interested in any of that. I'd be happy to send you a few sometime after Thanksgiving...free of charge of course.

@@SilverStruck about five years ago when I learned of the different varieties, they were a little bit more abundant on eBay and I rounded up three of them pretty quickly, but the last one, the type two with serial number was murder trying to find it!

I wanted one series from Perth to collect, so I landed on the Koala. You know what I stack, so it's a bit out of character form me to stack modern coins. I had 5 series total I was collecting but now only the Perth Koala and the Komsco Chiwoo are left. I was collecting Creatures Of Th North from RCM but that ended after two coins, The Tudor series in silver is covered in milk, lol...so I stopped after two coins and then lost interest in Germania Mint Allegories.
