New Lionfish, Shooting Thaler, and Mendelssohn, plus more! Here
at Talisman Coins, we are always scouring the world for
interesting coins for your numismatic pleasure! This week is no
exception -
we have some intriguing designs (both brand new and formerly sold-out
winners) from all around the globe! We're also pleased to bring you the return of the infamous Bonus Box! Act quickly - most are sold out at the mint and in short supply here!
Without further ado, this week's global potpourri in three sections:  I. Brand New Releases• The 2009 Lionfish Color Silver Proof from Australia - the first in the new Sea Life Series, already sold out at the Mint! • Another beginning - the Great Composers Series leads off with German genius Felix Mendelssohn, with traditional engraving resulting in frosted cameo portraiture. • The 2009 Swiss Shooting Festival Thaler features a most appealing design for this traditional, high face value delicacy, with an incredibly low mintage - only 1,500! II. Back By Popular Demand! • October is International Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we want to do our part! How does $10 off an original, mint-wrapped (not bank-wrapped) Roll of 40 Pink Ribbon Quarters from Canada sound? Remember, this was the world's second-ever colorized circulation coin. • With a mintage of only 10,000 each, the Gilded Kookaburra coins are much scarcer than the standard versions. We found a small group of the 2006 Gilded Kookas just for you - get 'em now! • One of the fastest-selling coins we've offered this year is the 1963 Corvette Stingray in the sold out Classic Sports Cars Series. It took us months, but we located a small group! III. Bonus Box That wacky Bonus Box is back - with hard-to-find goodies in such small numbers we can't even list them on our web site! So hurry, email, phone, or fax those orders in for: • A Silver Piedfort - The 1989 Kookaburra $10 Proof! • Mint-Sewn State Quarter Bags - very, very few available! • Ultra-low-mintage (2,500) Ferrari F2007 Formula One Racer Silver Proof - With two applied technologies - color and gold-plating! - Additional $5 discount on this racer when also purchasing the 1963 Corvette Proof! |

Australia 2010 Lionfish Color Pure Silver Proof
|
||
  Venomous Lionfish Opens New SeriesAustralian
waters host the most famous (and largest) reef system in the world, the
Great Barrier Reef. Reefs form a haven for thousands of fascinating
(and often brilliantly colored) marine animals. From spectacular
tropical corals to towering forests of kelp, these dynamic environments
are teeming with aquatic life. Celebrating five intriguing reef
dwellers, this stunning new series of pure silver proof collector coins
begins with a release portraying the Lionfish.
Covered in bands ranging from red to tan to black, the Lionfish has very long pectoral and dorsal fins. The dorsal fin comprises an array of extremely venomous spines, which are used for protection against predators. A clever innovation (and a neat little bonus!) is the colorfully illustrated outer box. When lined-up in release order, the outer boxes will form a panoramic image depicting all five reef creatures.  This first of five spectacular pure silver proof designs is already sold out at the mint! Get yours today before they're gone... Note - Order what you like, but we reserve the right to limit excessive orders for this coin.

Tuvalu 2009 Great Composers - Felix Mendelssohn 200th Anniversary Silver $1
|
||
200 Years of Musical Genius!
A German composer, pianist and conductor of the early Romantic period, Felix Mendelssohn was born in Hamburg on February 3, 1809 to a Jewish family. One of the most gifted composers the world has ever known, he left an extraordinary body of work including symphonies, concerti, oratorios, piano and chamber music. Among Mendelssohn's most memorable early works are the overture to Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, written in 1826 during his teenage years, and of course later the Wedding March (1842) still used in most wedding ceremonies even today! Celebrate the 200th anniversary of Mendelssohn's birth with this new silver proof, the first in the new series of Great Composers coins to be released by the Perth Mint of Australia. |

V-rr-rr-ooooooom!
Indulge your need for speed! Sometimes you just need to feel the wind in your hair as the scenery races by in a blur! If you've ever felt the need to go very, very fast, you know that nothing can satisfy (or turn heads!) like a classic sports car. This sold-out coin featuring the 1963 Corvette Stingray is back in stock, with severely limited quantities. Any
way you slice it, the Corvette Stingray is one heckuva good looking set
of wheels! Introduced in 1963 as the "C2" (which means the
second-generation Corvette), the 1963 model is notable for several
reasons. It was the first hardtop coupe ever offered by Chevrolet - all
Corvettes from their 1953 introduction through 1962 were convertibles!
It was also the first and only year in which the split rear window was
ever offered, and it featured faux (false) hood vents not found on the
1964 and subsequent models.This is one of the best-selling coins we've offered all year! We thought we had enough to last us for years - but we sold out in less than two weeks! We'll, they're back, so whether you're an auto enthusiast or a savvy investor, get this official, GM-authorized silver proof (only 3,000 released individually!) now for only... |
