100th Anniversary of RMS Titanic 2012 1oz Silver Proof Coin Perth Mint Australia

• Proof Quality 99.9% Pure Silver
• Iconic RMS Titanic Poster Coloured Reverse Design
• Tuvalu Legal Tender
• Extremely Limited Mintage – 5,000

Sailing into collectable history is our tribute to the centenary of the Titanic.  This is great news for lovers of marine history and Titanic aficionados.
It was the world’s most famous passenger ship disaster.  On a cold, moonless night just before midnight, the ‘unsinkable’ RMS Titanic struck an iceberg. 
Moments before impact, lookout Frederick Fleet peered into the darkness in horror at the approach of a menacing black shape. With the icy monolith just yards away, his alarm initiated frantic efforts to slow the ship and change course. They proved fruitless. Over the next few hours, an estimated 1,517 doomed souls met their watery fate in the freezing waters of the North Atlantic.
The grave of RMS Titanic, resting deep in the North Atlantic, remains a memorial to those that lost their lives, and a testament to those who bore the lifelong sorrow of that loss.

2012 WILDLIFE IN NEED - POLAR BEAR 1OZ SILVER PROOF COIN Perth Mint

The Polar Bear is easily recognised by its distinctive shape, from its round posterior to its pointed black nose. Although the bear’s fur looks white, each hair shaft is actually pigment-free and transparent with a hollow core that scatters and reflects visible light, much like what happens with ice and snow.

This sea bear evolved about 200,000 years ago from its brown bear ancestors and is superbly adapted for survival in the Arctic. Five nations have Polar Bear populations including the United States (Alaska), Canada, Russia, Greenland, and Norway.

The main threat to the Polar Bear is the loss of habitat caused by ice loss as a result of climate change. As the Arctic continues to warm, two-thirds of the world's Polar Bears could disappear by mid-century. Other threats include pollution, poaching, industrial developments and unregulated hunting.

In May 2008, the United States Department of the Interior listed the Polar Bear as a Threatened Species under the Endangered Species Act, while Canada and Russia list the Polar Bear as a Species of Concern.

ABC Silver Bullion One Kilogram Bar 1 kg .999 Fine Silver

This is an ABC Silver Bullion One Kilogram Bar 1 kg .9995 Fine Silver

These ABC bars are hard to sell at Spot as in the secondary market many picky types are discouraged by the many faults in this bars production, imo they may carry a premium in years ahead as most bars now days are perfect so as this weighs out at exactly 1000 grams i see no reason why people should snob these imperfect poured bars..

The majority of these ABC bars were produced in 2008 during the price run up to $20+ and plummet to sub $10 and wait times for physical were upwards of 10 weeks.
