Owner Comments:

A juicy looking Georgia Peach! All in all, I think these are really great "Crossover" kind of collectible coins. They are cool for Americans who want to dabble in Aussie coins, or Australians who want to dabble in U.S. State Quarters, or also a chance to dabble in Australian Silver Bullion, .999 pure, while at the same time, having some fun with the U.S. State Quarter series! The options abound! However, I don't know the reasons why the series stopped after the first five coins in 1999. Regardless, I personally imagine that makes them highly collectible, seeing as though they are such a limited series, and with such incredibly crossover appeal to collectors in two countries! I also think it speaks highly of how immensely popular the State Quarter program was not just in the United States, but abroad as well!
