I've been itching to buy this gold coin for the last six months and I finally pulled the trigger last week. I started watch these coins at $150, but I wasn't ready to purchase back then.
This is my first colorized gold coin purchase since I've been stacking.
Last week the price dropped to $128.78 for this 1/10th ounce of .9999 fine gold, and boy does she look great in hand.
This 2016 Australia Colorized Year of the Monkey from the Perth Mint is 3.1103 grams of gold. A portrait of the wicked witch of the west is on the obverse. She came in a little plastic capsule to protect the finish.
All the other colorized gold coins in this series have skyrocketed in price, and I hope this one does too.
Keep stacking, my friends! 💰

Thanks @fireawaymarmot
hey, @wonderwop.
Very cool looking coin. Really like the monkey. I'm always amazed when I see a colorized coin. In this case, it definitely enhances it, but sometime they don't. I'm sure it's got to be up there among the favorites of your stack.
Do you typically stack gold, or would you say more silver or something else? I've been following @themanwithnoname's silver stacking, which is why I ask. Gold's more pricey, but then, higher potential upside, too, so if you can get it, get it.
I stack mostly hand poured silver @glenalbrethsen, I started an album with smaller gold and platinum pieces in it, so I've been working on filling that.
hand poured. Wow. I've heard of that but haven't ran across someone yet who did it. Now I have. :) That sounds like quite the process. What are you melting down then, and what are you pouring into? Specialized molds of some kind?
Platinum, too? Nice. :)
I bought this piece, I haven't received it yet. Just over 4 ounces .999 fine silver. I think they use generic bullion coins to melt down. I'm not sure if they create a cast or sand mold.
Congratulations!! It is a pretty coin for sure!!!
