Kilo coins are my preferred silver products. Due to the relative low premium and the efficiency in storage. Also I really like the chunky and heavy feel they have. I have a couple of kilo coins and the most of them are kookaburra's. Really enjoy the quality and level of detail from the Perth mint.

I know exactly what you mean as far as picking up a heavy piece of silver or gold. I pour a lot of 100 ounce silver bars and when you hold one in your hand it feels so much heavier than it looks. It's awesome realizing just how dense stardust is.

Love the kilo coins, how they have lower tax compared to poured bars (Germany...), how they're nice to look at and how you can flip them by selling an old one to a collector and get a new kilo coin and a whole bunch of 1 oz right away.
I kinda wish you could get "tubes" or rather cylindrical master boxes for the kilo coins.

[PabloTBrave]

I have 1, 10 and kilo coins. The kilos make a big statement but I think the 10oz is a better size shows the details off nicely without the less intricate areas looking bland. They can also be harder to sell you need to keep your exit strategy in mind .

[SilverDragons]

they are awesome but usually the premiums are crazy. nice post my friend 🔥🐉

Just a few comparisons in AUD using pricing from perth mint's website (AU:1821.86, AG:22.15).

1KG Koala coin is $776.18, with a 9% premium of $64.06. You're paying $24.14 per troy oz, or $1.99 over spot.
1KG cast bar is $745.18, with a 4.64% premium of $33.06. You're paying $23.18 per troy oz, or $1.03 over spot.
32x 1oz Kangaroo coins at $25.87 each is $827.84, with a 16.79% premium of $119.04. You're paying $3.72 over spot.

Love both coins, the Kookaburra is always my favorite. The shine is way more impressive!!! Plus I love the bird itself!!!

I paid $600 for a 2011 1-kilo Koala, and I’m extremely happy with this purchase- it’s a big, BEAUTIFUL coin, and it’s already worth almost $300 more than I paid for it two years ago..

[GoldenSlumber]

Frankly, I have never seen the fascination in such large coins. For me, silver in such volumes is quite adequate in ingot or bar form without paying the premium for the designs and in the end, I’ll be converting my silver (except for my 1 oz. collector coins) into gold when the ratio is more favorable.

[ax]

mathmatically, one can prove that 1kg coin has less surface area that the equivalent of 1kg of 1oz coins, thus you lose less silver to tarnish due to less surface area.

[bneelman]

A kilo coin is reall something special to hold. The disadvatage is thta they are not easy to sell. I like the Koala most because of the frosted background.
For next week the Gibraltar coin please.

[txmoon]

If I HAD to pick one, it would be the Kook, the Koala looks creepy. But for kilo silver, I'll stick with bars. And I'll vote for the Germania "coin". I ended up buying one between last week's vote and now but I still would like to hear your review.

[rustyshackleford]

I'd go with the Kookaburra.I really like the 2014 version. I think both 2019 Kooks and Koalas are very good and I'm trying to save up enough to get both in a kilo. The 10 ounce 2019 Kook is exquisite.

[cheril.henderson]

By the way, I'm a 1-3oz. Woman depending on the mint we've got a new up and comer Intagio Mint. Even their 1oz looks like it's a 3D coin I buy all their collections, I'm about to be buying from you too, plus I collect Treasure from shipwrecks of the 16-1700's. All pure silver, I've got quite a bit from The Atocha, a 1700, ship carrying 8 tons of gold and silver n part of its up for sale on eBay, it's all been verified I just wish I had $50, 000+ tax & shipping & insurance!

You bring up how the design is just lines and angles. Yes, that is true, but that's true for all art. I personally draw caricatures, so I tend to accentuate certain features on a person's face with accentuated lines.

[jean-louisbiekmann]

I don’t care really how they look like. The only reason to buy them is that you do not have to pay VAT (Outside GB)

[loboplateadostacker]

Any stack deserves to have at least one silver Kilo coin. My pick was the Lunar Series kilo Tiger 2012 with the capsule and wooden box, traded it for 2 x 20 oz tubes of Philharmonics, nice collectible value.

[msmorgans]

Have the same 2014 kilo Kookaburra! Love it!

[bhupendramehta]
