In AG/AU news yesterday Ankh & Mjolnir

If anyone sees when these are released and where could you let me know please

Certainly will @tray : I'll be looking out for them for me too.

They are stunning

Wow these look epic! will be keeping an eye out for them.

I would love to know how they are actually made, they look both cast and pressed.

Are these Korean Komsco Mint? They have that look about them.

Yes they are, Mjolnar is out for release March 2024

It's a bit of a moot point. The manufacturer is now always given as Coins Today or Coins Inc., but when they first started to appear they were said to be Komsco. It may be that Coins Today is an arm of Komsco, or that they have separated out the stackables (as they're now called) from the mainstream coin business. I've never been able to find out.
I've been getting them from the Coin Shoppe, who are excellent, but postage is expensive and I would love to find a reliable closer supplier. Aurinum get some from time to time, but it's erratic and they've recently removed the English language version of their website, so it's all in German now. Powercoin also get them in, if you still have a kidney to sell.

I'm still waiting on my 5oz guilded dragon from them, I pre-ordered it months ago and if I'd known Martin would have been selling them I would have got it from him. They are on Ebay as well so everyone else seems to have them already. I have e-mailed them and they are supposedly any time now. I also have this on pre-order.

I do love that sword. They are quite a hard mint to find information on it's a shame because their products are so high quality and unique. I would have so much more from them. Hopefully one day soon as supplier in the UK will start getting them in regularly

I saw the sword, but resisted on the basis that it wasn't really part of the 2oz stacker series

Their stacker series seems to go all over the place so I just buy what I think looks good, I think the idea of the sword is it's a follow on from the Archangel Gabriel 2oz stacker which is actually the only one I don't have.

I wasn't aware of the Archangel Gabriel stacker. I have the Shield of the Archangel Michael though.

Do you know if there are going to be anymore from that Forbidden fruit and Lucifer series?

I have not heard anything and I would have thought that they might make more..

or perhaps the series died.

I honestly don't know. I'm keeping fairly well up with the stackers as they emerge, and there are quite a lot in the pipeline, including a Pieta - which is a religious theme. I can send you a list of the issues to date and those on the way if you like. It's fair to say that they don't come out in any regular order, and I think their designers just get carried away with new ideas.

For information, the Coin Shoppe now have both Ankh and Mjolnir showing as available to register an interest and be notified when they come into stock.

Same here. I just thought I'd have a look on the website, and lo and behold.

On a point of interest, I got my Snapping Turtle Shell today, and the capuled stacker came in a plastic ziploc bag stamped 'Coins Today'. That seems to be the latest info on the manufacturer.
I also understand that Minted will be getting them in, although I don't know which ones and when. Or how much. The Male and Female Torsos are showing on the website with prices to be announced.

I have just ordered the Male and Female Torsos from Minted. Sharon (aka Minted) has said that she intends to stock the stackers, and her prices are not bad.

Talking to an American dealer last night he said the Ankh is released is march. Theres a lot of interest now in the Korean stackers so hopefully the UK dealers will start getting more of them in. It's not so much. The price of the items is the postage and packing

I know! Minted charges a fixed £6 p&p rate, so when compared to dealers abroad it's a big plus. The price for the Torsos was a lot less than Powercoin, and obviously Minted will have paid UK taxes. I don't know if Panda is still selling them, but he doesn't sell here now so he's out of the equation as far as I'm concerned. Minted is good to deal with - and Sharon is a cat person too.

Speaking of Coins Today, this is the latest on AgAu Bulletin, and all I can say is WOW!




I have asked Minted if it will be coming in there.

What did they say ? I do get my 2oz Germania off of minted that I can't talk Martin in to getting, they are very good. No I don't use panda anymore never had a problem with him with what I ordered but no

I've only just emailed her, and I'll report back as soon as I hear.
She has the Freja bar too. I don't know if Martin is getting that, but it isn't on his Newsletter list.

I've been a bit slow with this, sorry, but updates on all three:
Minted has the Bear (named on the site as Furious Beasts). Eight in stock, price £105.
The Coin Shoppe has both Ankh and Mjolnir available to order, due by end of April (but that does depend on the manufacturer   ). Price CAD124.76.

The Coin Shoppe also has a rather nice Lunar Dragon by D G Smalling, a Choctaw artist. There's a plain silver (mintage 8888) at CAD42.97 and a colourised one in a presentation tin (mintage 88) at CAD169.99.
