Thanks for the video @Admin . Maybe you could get @SilverTrader to give you German lessons .
It's a nice coin, but again, this is one of those never-ending series that carry on and on. And on. At least with the lunars you know you're only going to be in for a twelve year sentence. It's one of the reasons why I don't collect the 'generic' type coins. Mind you, at least the design changes from year to year: I can't get excited, or even mildly interested, in yet another Eagle/Maple/Philharmonic. The Libertads are nice, but you wouldn't want more than one.

I know what you mean, which labels you more as a collector than a stacker.
Within the Precious Metals community, there are a few types of people. They do cross over from time to time but for the most part WE all tend to be in one category mainly.
Stacker - just buying for volume and weight. Coins and bars mainly
Collector - Buying what ever we like because we like it.
Investor - Buying weight and collectable coins/bars to sell on for profit.
The investor will not touch normally any poured silver or fancy arty stuff. Because the risk is too great.
The stacker might grab some poured and collectable coins, but for the most part tries to remain emotionally detached.
The collector will buy what ever they want, They will love and enjoy their collection, but has no real aim of selling it.

I was looking for something the other day and I've even got some coins which were free in the paper about 30 years ago They are really bad nearly as bad as those Simpson coins
But then I've got some stunners and because for years I didn't really know what I wanted to collect. I collected all of it
