2008 Austria 1 oz Silver Philharmonic BU

Get this coin before they run out. This was the first year of mintage.

First year of issue. These coins at .999 are really pure, and I did not receive any with spots (milk spots). The mintage of 7.5 million is mind boggling, but I really enjoy having one. The QC is really good in the Philharmonic silver compared to some of the .9999 silver from Royal Canadian Mint...just seems that the way the Austrian Mint makes their coin's edges, ...they are less "sharp" and less prone to "cut", "gouge", or dig into other coins in the batch. I bought for hobby, so, the premium is not so bad. If you want to get a coin closer to silver's "trading value" that day, APMEX rounds and bars are better "bang for your buck". Basically most people know that, but just in case! Best Regards, Monday2Sunday

World class coin and world class service!

Very shiny attractive coin and even nicer then I expected. Already needing to order more for the collection.

this is probably the most beautiful 1oz coin in existence (uncirculated coins).

My in-laws have the last name of Oestreich. I've always struggled knowing what to get them for gifts until I saw these. I gave them one for their last anniversary and they just loved it. These are beautiful coins and have a personal connection for them. Thank-you APMEX!

Theses coins are absolutely beautiful. I've always loved the gold Philharmonics and I was so excited when I heard these were coming out back in 2008. I've given them as gifts and they never fail to impress.

Bought a whole tube + 1 for showing off. Started the first year and I'm glad I did.

I like these as another bullion choice. The ASE and CML are undoubtedly more well known and more seen on eBay, for example, but this coin is very lovely. The minting seems a little more "crisp" than the CML and the slightly chunkier, smaller diameter coin with the non-reeded edge is unique. I like 'em, and they are still a nice ounce of silver!

The Philharmonics are beautiful!
