Picked up a little bit of 2012 dated silver for my little girl that's to be born in December. Wanted to do a diverse birth year silver set for when she gets older. The folks on the phone were very pleasant and helpful. I cruised around on their website before and during ordering. I picked up:

2- Silver Eagles
2- Britannias
1- Cougar Maple Leaf
1- Maple Leaf
1- Koala Perth Mint
1- Autrian Philharmonic

All of these were cheaper than the 'bay (even with free shipping) where I picked up 2- Pandas, a Mexico Libertad, and 2- extra Britannias, mostly from ModernCoinMart.

I should have never started this set, because now I have a fever for ALL of the Britannias. image They are pretty coins.

    Congrats Wes!!

    That is gonna be a great set! I was thinking to do the same with my first born but then switched to the Lunar set.

    I miss my Britannia set, I had them all from 1998 to 2010. Great designs and finishing.
    You can't miss the set below if you want to be a serious collector! image Just teasing you...


    Speaking of ProvidentMetal, I can only say good things about them. Great price and service.
    I don't even mind waiting the couple of week paying by check given their good prices!

    Again, congrats!!

    The fiji turtles are nice but I would pass on the armenian noahs ark coins. You have to draw the line somewhereimage

    Ordering from provident was very easy. Items arrived quickly too. Would highly recommend
    Gold is for savings. Fiat is for transactions.

    They're only $82 at Gainesville. And you know she's worth every penny!

    Thanks guys. I was pondering the Fuji Turtle and the Armenian Noah's Ark and actually bid on a few on ebay buy ending up losing them because I didn't want to pay what they were bringing that much over spot.

    I did bid on a few different "Year of the Dragon" ones but ended up being outbid. I might pickup one a little later at a show or something if they're cheaper.

    Matteo, yeah, I saw that set. Maybe someday, but I have to buy a stockpile of diapers now. Coining is about to come to an abrupt halt I'm afraid. image

    Luvs Diapers on Amazon.com are the cheapest...according to my wife...image


    A Kookaburra would fit well in that set, though the 2012 is now demanding a high premium.

    and Luvs don't leak, unlike our experience with Huggies...granted this is a few years ago.

    Great set you are building for your daughter, Wes!

    Wes, do you have a way in mind to display the set?
    I used a nice wooden case for my sets, though yours will be bigger and heavier.

    I do some woodworking on the side, so I thought about building a velvet lined custom walnut shadowbox to hand on her wall. Got to start her off early lookin' at coins if I'm gonna raise a 'lil coin collector!

    I just found 2- PCGS MS69 First Strike Kookaburras on the 'bay. $99 shipped. That should be it for now....unless I find a cheap Dragon.
