New Perth Mint releases! Here's a preview of what's in store tomorrow:  I. Famous Naval Battles #3 - Monitor vs. Merrimack Perhaps the most anticipated single coin release of the year, the third in the Famous Naval Battles program highlights the first clash of the ironclads, the famous USS Monitor vs. CSS Virginia (Merrimack).

Sold Out at the Mint! #2 - Battle of Trafalgar - Lord Nelson's flagship Victory under full sail! II. Young Collectors - Creepy Crawlies Set You don't want to miss this superb, 9-Coin Dollar Set at a value price, with all the bonus goodies you've come to expect! Stay tuned tomorrow...Today, we remind you about the 2009 9-Coin Set: 9-Coin Outer Space Set - Perfect for space enthusiasts, scientist fans and kids of all ages! III. Bush Babies #2 - New five-coin program of baby Australian animals! Tomorrow, we'll announce the release of the much-anticipated Sugar Glider Silver Proof. Today, however, it's all about the Baby 'Roo, first in this most-popular series! #1 - Baby Kangaroo - Sold out in days! We have a few available! These brief introductions will have to suffice until the Mint's big announcement tomorrow! |

Famous Naval Battles - Pure Silver Color Proof Dollars
|
||
 Famous Sea BattlesThe Perth Mint's latest historical triumph is this
series of five coins celebrating history's greatest Naval Battles!
The next issue in this series is the famous Civil War
clash between the Monitor
and the Merrimack
(aka Virginia)
- the first battle of ironclad ships in the world! This third issue is
sure to be the biggest coin release since Gettysburg!
  Miraculous
victory by Greek triremes! Today, the Battle of Salamis, fought 25 centuries
ago, is little known
and perhaps barely remembered outside of naval history circles. Yet,
like the other three decisive victories of Athens and the other ancient
Greek city-states over the Persians (Marathon,
Thermopylae, and
Plataea), it is fair to say that we would not have Western
culture or
society as we know it had the Greeks faltered and lost at Salamis. A
number of historians believe that a Persian victory would have stilted
the development of Ancient Greece, and by extension Western
Civilization per se, and has led them to claim that Salamis is one of
the most significant battles in human history. Read about this most
important of naval battles on our web site!The Battle of Salamis Silver $1 Proof Sold Out at the Mint! Get it at our special sale price while it lasts! 
Naval Battles
#2 - Fighting Sail!
The second coin in the new series of Famous Naval Battles, the follow-up to its extremely popular Famous Battles of History set! The second salvo (if you will) is the Battle of Trafalgar, the British victory over Napoleon's combined Franco-Spanish fleet that marked the beginning of the Pax Britannica and, along with the British victory over the Spanish Armada in 1588, bookended the Golden Age of Sail! We expect the Battle of Trafalgar Silver $1 Proof to Sell Out at the Mint! Get it at our below issue sale price while it lasts! |

2010 Bush Babies - Baby Kangaroo Color Silver Proof

|
Bush
Babies - Adorable Baby Animals are hottest new Perth Series in years!
The
Bush Babies pure silver proofs are a most
stunning, collectible new series from Australia. All coins and
display boxes in this series feature original artwork by wildlife
artist Elise Martinson.
Tomorrow, we'll announce the availability of the second in this series - the Sugar Glider, a most unusual, flying marsupial!  Adorable
Baby 'Roo Starts New Series!This adorable baby kangaroo (an original work of
art!), the first in
the new Bush Babies series of pure silver proofs, sold out in no
time at all at the Mint! (We've just located a few.) Celebrating five
adorable baby animals, the stunning new Bush
Babies Program hs proven even more popular than the Sea
Life - The Reef Series that preceded it. The
Red Kangaroo is the largest of all kangaroos, the largest mammal native
to Australia, and the largest surviving marsupial. It is found across
mainland Australia. Like most marsupials, the baby kangaroos, called
joeys, live in their mother's pouch.Your Own Personal Art Gallery! Another clever innovation (and a neat little bonus!) is the colorfully illustrated outer box shipper. Each features a different, original commission by the designer of the coins, artist Elise Martinson (please see the section online for a short biography of the artist). When lined-up in release order, the outer boxes will form a gallery of original artworks of the five baby critters by this well-known, Australian animal artist. A special, five coin display box is available at a nominal additional charge. This is a superb way to protect and present all five coins in their full color, illustrated cases. The Baby Kangaroo sold out so quickly it made everyone's head spin, and we couldn't supply enough for everyone who wanted one! Fortunately, we have just found a few in the aftermarket, so if you still need this one, get it quickly, as it is trending higher as we write! |
