    I prefer my collection of coins to have different designs but if they all have to have the same design, I think having privy marks to set them apart from each other is way cool! image

    Be careful, there are MANY privy marked bullion coins out there: Canadian and Australian in particular

    Why not just try for one of each country to start with?

    I've seen kookaburras with US state quarter reverses as their privy marks. It was obscene and it turned me off to privy marks. image

    When trying to find Kookaburras, it was hard to find them without privy marks.

    Why is it that each tiime I see the word privy, I think of outhouses? image

    Sometime ago I bought some fireworks and Titanic Maple Leaf privy.

    I originally bought them because I got them at spot.

    I got hooked and am now chasing them.

    Yea, verily.

    The Royal Canadian Mint loves to crank them out. In that way lies madness!

    Sir! Put the loupe down and step away from the coin. image

    I am keeping away from Privy marks for now.. I still have alot of non privy marked silver bullion to get.. and then I have the Kiwis to do.. so for now I am staying away.

    Personally I think they are over priced. image

    I have found power in the mysteries of thought.

    It is always a question of knowing and seeing, and not that of believing.

    Our virtues, and our failings are inseparable, like force, and matter. When they separate, man is no more.
