Hobby Collecting: First Time Buying Rounds

          The other day, I mentioned how I had another silver piece coming. It's the first time I've bought any silver rounds. It caught my eyes because of the Star Wars theme.

          Unfortunately, since I don't want to take things out of the bag for the time being, the pictures will do. It seemed comical to have Queen Elizabeth II on one side and Boba Fett on the other. Here's a better picture of the Queen's visage from the APMEX website.

          In essence, it's a $2 New Zealand Dollar coin from the island nation of Niue. Look it up, it's a real place. This is an 1-oz silver piece. I got it for a few dollars above the current silver price. So, I thought I got an okay bargain.

          Browsing through APMEX's wares, coins with like this tend to go 2-3 times the current spot price for silver. You would have to keep an eye out for decent prices if you don't wish to spend more than you want to. One thing to keep in mind, though, availability is always a limiting factor.

          That's it for now.
