Title: [opinion] 2oz silver clock alice-in-wonderland tuvalu 2015 Post by: wheresmycoin on July 19, 2015, 01:12:24 PM I have just ordered a 2OZ alice-in-wonderland silver clock, anyone here bought it too, whats your opinion?
http://i61.tinypic.com/do08bc.jpg some actual photos from apmex(mark up quite high though) here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-Australia-2-oz-Silver-Alice-in-Wonderland-Antiqued-Clock-SKU-91748-/111719833652?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1a03056034 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-Australia-2-oz-Silver-Alice-in-Wonderland-Antiqued-Clock-SKU-91748-/111719833652?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1a03056034) Title: Re: [opinion] 2oz silver clock alice-in-wonderland tuvalu 2015 Post by: wheresmycoin on July 19, 2015, 01:58:14 PM looks pretty neat and unique. Not seen an actual clock coin from them before..
coincidental enough, shortly after i ordered and posted this OP, perth mint qty was immediately unavaliable.. Title: Re: [opinion] 2oz silver clock alice-in-wonderland tuvalu 2015 Post by: TookDk on July 19, 2015, 09:36:04 PM Looks pretty nice, legal tender in Tuvalu.
I was wondering, does it have a functional clock build in?

It's not mentioned if the clock is gold-plated or not, so I guess it's not. Seems like a tiny clock small enough sized like the size of a watch

Title: Re: [opinion] 2oz silver clock alice-in-wonderland tuvalu 2015 Post by: AT101ET on July 20, 2015, 05:54:26 AM It looks very cool. I've seen a few similar things like this before and think they're really neat.
What was the reason they went with Alice and wonderland though? I mean it seems like a pretty random theme to go with. What I like about it is that it's something I'd openly have on display at home or in the office unlike having just a silver coin displayed in a presentation box. Those are more likely to end up in a collection in a box out of view.

What I like about it is that it's something I'd openly have on display at home or in the office unlike having just a silver coin displayed in a presentation box. Those are more likely to end up in a collection in a box out of view. It's for the 150th anniversary of Alice In Wonderland. I believe I've read that the Perth Mint is doing a few other coins with a similar theme, but I could be wrong (I read a lot about silver/coins sometimes when bored and end up surfing through different links). As far as a valuation: Perth Mint products are very finely made and known for quality and purity of the precious metals used. Their smaller mintage/limited edition stuff usually does well as far as appreciating over time. I would say you'd probably be able to sell it for a profit in the future, but don't know how much profit it will be because it is already a higher-premium item. Perhaps in the future when and if the silver spot price rises substantially again. That + collector value might pay off. Either way, it should be a cool product; if you're into it I'm sure you'll enjoy it. That is very cool the coin has a working clock on it, sort of like a silver pocket watch-coin. |
