RE: 2012 1oz silver fiji taku! - Mojofabulous - 03-12-2012 04:32 PM

I emailed the new zealand mint inquiring about the mintage. Hopefully i will hear back promptly


RE: 2012 1oz silver fiji taku! - Mojofabulous - 03-12-2012 04:40 PM

Wow, that was a fast reply to my email. Didn't give me all the information i wanted, but it was useful.

Hi NAME(edited out by me) we minted approximately 20,000 1oz Takus for 2011, and approx 10,000 in 2010.

I cannot yet confirm the how many 2012 coins will be produced, or when they will be available.


Thanks

Ursula

Just fyi, that was a 2011 taku, not the 2012. They are basically the same coin minus the year difference.

yeah ofcourse. I figured that 2011 should be somewhat more rare Smile


RE: 2012 1oz silver fiji taku! - mike silverhair - 03-15-2012 04:04 PM

Thats a great looking coin.Im on my way to get 5 or so.Thx for the heads up.Never realized how low the mintages were.


RE: 2012 1oz silver fiji taku! - Honey - 03-15-2012 04:42 PM

Love this coin. I got 6 yesteday and 6 mooses.. I can't wait to see that taku in person! went to Gainesville for the first time. I have only purchased from Provident or Apmex before and pleased with both. Gainesville actually called me today since it was the first time, they wanted to verify the delivery address.

I guess these will have to do since they haven't come out with the Chipmonk one yet...Smile

I'm happy I got 10 sat in my coin case.. If your looking for Taku's in UK Buy the Dips here http://www.purefinebullion.com/silver-coins otherwise they can be too pricey but at todays prices they are worth a punt.


RE: 2012 1oz silver fiji taku! - silverexplosion - 03-16-2012 10:58 PM

I ordered 4 Taku's, and 6 Moose the other day when silver was slightly under $32.


RE: 2012 1oz silver fiji taku! - Mojofabulous - 04-08-2012 12:59 AM

Great news for any of us that already own the 2010 or 2011 fiji takus. The 2012 taku mintage has been announced and the number is (drumroll) 350,000!

Remember that the mintage for 2010 and 2011 were:

20,000 1oz Takus for 2011, and approx 10,000 in 2010.

If only the coins had different images we'd be looking at some killer premiums. Still, this can only help the premium for the older dates :-)

Wow! That's a big number considering past sales and the fact that the NZ mint is a small one. Looks like they are expecting an explosion in silver buyers.

But the mintage numbers of 2010 and 2011 did seem too good to be true and so I tried to contact them as well about the mintage numbers of the Fijis, but I didn't get an answer. Did you contact them through the email address stated on their site?


RE: 2012 1oz silver fiji taku! - Mojofabulous - 04-08-2012 10:40 PM

Yes, one of their official reps sent me that message from their official contact email. Let me see if I can dig up the exact question and answer


RE: 2012 1oz silver fiji taku! - Mojofabulous - 04-08-2012 10:46 PM

My message to them(some info edited out for privacy reasons):

At Tuesday, March 13, 2012 - 10:31 the following enquiry was sent Customer Type: Customer

I was wondering if you could tell me what the max mintage is on the new 2012 1oz silver fiji taku. The website says the mintage is limited but not what the mintage is.

Also, what did the max mintage end up being for the 2011 1oz silver fiji taku?

Thank you



Their response:

Hi (edited) we minted approximately 20,000 1oz Takus for 2011, and approx 10,000 in 2010.

I cannot yet confirm the how many 2012 coins will be produced, or when they will be available.


Thanks
