Barbie 50th Anniversay Silver Collector's Coin

If you enjoy collecting toys, games, cards and other items then something like the 50th Anniversary Barbie Coin 1 oz Silver Proof Coin from the Perth Mint under licence from Mattel should be something to really pay attention too. This coin is limited to a worldwide release of 20,000 coins and is something that any young girl interested in Barbie would find to be a highly regarded addition to their collection.

Not only is it a treasure for the Barbie name itself and the limited mintage but the coin is made from 99.9% silver so it has a solid investment value as well. The coin also comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity, so as a future investment there's alot to like about this particular coin.

Size wise its about double the size of a quarter and twice as thick so it's a good solid 1 ounce coin. It's cased in a presentation pink box encased in a protective plastic casing. When you buy from the perth mint they offer worldwide express shipping with insurance included so you never have to worry about any collectable coin you buy from them.

As we all know there's many individual Barbie collector's fairs and the Barbie brand itself extends around the globe. So there never will be a lack of interest in viewing or reselling at a later day. In fact both Amazon.com and HSN.com both stock these coins but at a significantly higher price than if you just buy directly from the Mint itself.

Both gold and silver are expected to rise in coming years as inflation returns to the economic landscape after a long period of low interest rates. Driven by chinese demand all world commodity markets are subject to large price rises when global economic demand and inflation return. So it makes sense to look at these type of collectable coins before prices for the metals rise even further.

Just a brief word on the Perth Mint that produces the coins. They are located in Pert, Western Australia and are owned by the State Government Of Western Australia. They have been producing gold and silver since the time of production for the British Empire so they have worldwide recogition for what they do. You can also purchase gold and silver bullion directly from them and they offer a price to both buy and sell. So in effect you do not need a broker to invest in precious metals you can deal directly with the producer.

I actually purchased this coin myself so if you would like to see some pictures and learn more about the coin then take a few minutes and Click Here
