These 1 oz Silver coins meet the Internal Revenue Service’s minimum fineness requirements for Silver, and buying these Silver bullion coins to add to your Precious Metals IRA is easy with the assistance of our IRA specialists. Adding physical Silver such as these Australian coins to your retirement portfolio can provide protection against economic downturns, international tensions and other unexpected events. The relative purchasing power of Silver bullion tends to remain stable when other investments like stocks and bonds waver.
How do BU Silver Kookaburra coins differ from Proof Silver Kookaburra coins?
Since the release of the Silver Kookaburra coin series in 1990, the Perth Mint has always created two versions of these popular coins, a brilliant uncirculated coin and a proof coin. The Proof 1 oz Silver coins have a mirrorlike coin table or background, and the design elements have a frosted appearance. The brilliant uncirculated Australian coins feature the reverse of the proof Silver coins, and go above and beyond the usual worldwide standards for Silver bullion coins. Many call the brilliant uncirculated Silver Kookaburra coin a “reverse proof” because the coin table appears frosty while the design elements have a shiny look.

The history of Silver Kookaburra coins
Look at the 2015 Silver Kookaburra coin, and immediately you are drawn to the eye-catching Kookaburra design on the reverse. Each year these 1 oz Silver coins feature a new Kookaburra design, and past years have shown the bird in a variety of situations, ranging from feeding babies to soaring through the air. Like all Australian coins, these Silver coins feature a likeness of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. This Silver bullion coin is the anniversary edition of the popular series, and its design is the same one that was featured on the first Kookaburra coin in 1990.

Why invest in the Silver Kookaburra coins?
Many investors choose Silver bullion as a way to preserve wealth and diversify their portfolio. The Silver price per ounce tends to remain stable during inflationary times, and Silver is recognized as valuable no matter where you go in the world. These Australian coins have the added benefit of being guaranteed for weight and purity by the Australian government, and they are approved for use with a Precious Metals IRA. These world coins also have the added benefit of having numismatic, or collector, value.

Great to continue the Kook Kollection for my grandson. He loves adding to the 'ol pirate treasure chest, a couple of ounces at a time. He knows the routine; have the gloves ready just in case he needs to handle the raw coin. I'm loving this endeavor.

Yeah! that's right , call me Kookoo if you want but when you see these close up and really start looking at the detail, you should see why I gave this review the title I did. If you hold the coin at an angle you can really see the contrast in the finishing; which brings details such as the following; Fence post finish is frosty contrasted to wire shiny to make the wire stand out against the fence post. Grass is raised contrasted to smooth tree in background shiny against a matte finished skyline. Bird feather around head and underneath frosty and soft contrasted with wing and tail feathers shiny and smooth. Great coin, while premium to spot is more than I would prefer to pay for New Silver Coins- the fixed mintage, Australian Perth Mint reputation, beautiful design and good track record of previous years value increase, makes this a must in any collection. I do have to give credit, where credit is due and Eric Taylor at APMEX is the one who helped me see and realize the great value in this one and I thank him for that. As he pointed out the great detail with the wire on the fence post, that originally caught my eye and had me looking closer at these. I hope to be adding more 2016 Kookaburra's while they are still available. Silver around $20/ounce... Still a Great time to add coins...Happy coin collecting.....
