Official ROTF Silver Coins from Perth Mint

[Kyle]

My coin collector friend received a news letter from Perth Mint and forwarded it to me. Perth Mint is releasing Optimus Prime and Megatron Silver Coins (99.9% pure silver) for $97.50 each. Each comes with its own display case etc and Perth Mint will issue no more than 5000 of these.

Looking very good. My friend is going to order a pair for himself and a pair for me.

[Zahhak]

wow, I'm certainly considering....if not for the collecting value but for the small investments value it could have in years.
Thanks for the heads up...get it "heads up"
No need for applause.

I so want those

[griffin]

It's actual legal tender... but who'd ever use it as money if it is only worth $1, but costs about $100 to buy.

I was telling Paulbot and Borgeman about this last week. A former employer of mine offered them to me at cost price which was about $80. I don't think either look great enough to justify it.

[griffin]

I agree. It's a huge expense for something so small that doesn't do anything. I'd be interested if they were like $20, but not $100.

[sanbot]

$100 seems extreme. I doubt they'd be worth that much more in future even if only 5000 were made.

[Kyle]

I'm having second thoughts now after reading your comments...

[Zippo]

Oh, I do like these, but at over $120NZ each + postage (even if they would ship direct), I think I can pass. Stamps on the other hand :-)

There were official Hong Kong stamps from Hasbro HK for the first movie.
