Coin Collectors' Corner

Hi again @Cuddlebear no I haven't had the gallbladder removed yet. It should be sometime within the next 6 weeks. I am waiting on a call from the hospital.

My cold symptoms feel better today 😊 Thanks for thinking of me.

I hope you don't have any more gall bladder episodes mate @Mustang67 . Sitting with you.

@Judi9877 The butterfly coin is a 2oz Silver coin with a diamond at the tip of the wings. So, to date this is the most expensive coin I have. But as soon as I saw it, I just knew I had to have it. It has two of my favourite things, diamonds and butterflies. Plus, it has meaning to me, as my name means butterfly. I only have one other 2oz coin, but I won that coin. in a coin dip on Tik Tok. It only cost me $20.00. The price of 2oz coins is out of my budget range. Lol

Is this the coin that you were talking about? It is a great looking coin.

It is sold out at the mint and a few shops that I look at. But if you are really keen and want to spoil yourself, I found one available here 2025 Australian Kookaburra

I have currently switched to buying bullion coins, as an investment for my daughter's inheritance. This way I still get the pleasure of learning and communicating with the coin collecting community. So, it gives me something to be interested in.

I have decided to start collecting coins from the Perth Mint Koala Bullion Series. This series has been going for a long time, so if I see a previous year's coin, at a reasonable price, I purchase it. I don't think I will try and collect the full set, as the coins from the earlier years are too expensive for my liking. And it is 1oz of silver, so when my daughter takes it to a bullion store to sell it, she will only get what the silver spot price is for 1oz. So, if I pay too much for it, it is money lost. Unless she wants to try and sell it to the coin collecting market, then she might be able to get more for it.

And I recently purchased a Panda Bullion coin at an auction. this series is from China, and if I can pick them up cheaply in an auction, I will do so.

I also just found this little glass kookaburra on the Perth Mint website.

Thanks @tyme It's just a pity that I have nowhere to display them, so I can enjoy my purchases. I initially thought I would display them all when I finally move into a house, but with the rent prices going up like they have, I don't think that will be for a very long time. Which makes me sad, As I would love to be able to enjoy looking at them.

My daughter has no interest in my coin collecting at the moment, so I have purchased this 1oz coin for her as a Christmas Present, to hopefully pique her interest, Lol

Since she will be inheriting my full coin collection when I die, it would be better if she was interested in it. But if not, she will have big job selling them all. Lol

Here is some more from my collection @Cuddlebear

@tyme thank you.

@Mustang67 Ah ok! My friend had his removed and it all went very smoothly. He feels better as he was experiencing a lot of pain with his gall bladder. Hopefully you progress through the waiting list quickly. Is it giving you any trouble?

@Cuddlebear I seem to go through about 6 weeks when I am ok, and then I will have 2 attacks within days of each other. I am slowly learning what food I need to avoid. I should be having it removed within the next 6 weeks, but I don't want it done until after the 23rd of this month, as I have plans.

I just won another coin. Will show it off shortly.

Congratulations @Mustang67 .

Thank you @GezzaP The universe must like me at the moment. Lol

Yes @Mustang67 you’ve been having lots of luck recently. Have a good day.
