Hey, #SteemSilverGold community! About a week ago, I saw a post from 
So my shiny loving friends, how do you decide to buy a coin in a new series? Do you just pass on all new series because there are just too damn many already? What factor is the most important to you?
- How many were minted?
- Who minted them?
- Is it government backed?
- What country is represented on the coin?
- What is the price over spot?
- What is the size of the series (if announced)?
I bought one of the Czech Republic coins due to its low mintage of 10,000. I could not do any more than one as I don't necessarily think this coin is going to fare well. The lion looks cool, but the obverse says its from Niue. So let me get this straight, it's a Czech Republic coin from Niue? Also, why are there so...many...Niue...coins?!? They may have more different coins then citizens on the island!
The Barbados coin has a larger mintage of 30,000 but is a bit cheaper than the lion. It is minted by Scottsdale Mint, which is oh so close to Barbados. I feel the design is a bit plain and isn't making me rush to order one.
There is a similar coin to the Barbados coin. The Cayman Island also has a first year coin by Scottsdale Mint. This coin has not sold out yet and it has been out for a while so I also don't see this coin doing anything spectacular.
Enough of my blabbering. Enjoy the pretty pictures and tell me how you feel about new coin series
