    Yeah not a very popular series. Funny I think they are a nice looking series but just don't have that must have appeal I suppose ?

    They are the victim of a mintage to small to generate popularity.. to me the best way to esb a following is to have a higher mintage intilally and then cull it down (& or vice versa) so more are being demanded than being produced. But if its not HOT its hard for it to ever get HOT

    The Koalas are a good example.. inital low mintages 07, 08 and 09 .. now they are limitless which is creating more market awareness.. when/if people do try to get the previous dates this should create an excess demand over supply until the price is driven up to an equilibruim D/S level

    They were a mint on demand I think and given that they cost double or more what a silver coin cost people just didn't buy them I guess.

    They seem nice to me and maybe they will catch on for collectors one day. Haven't checked for a while but I some time back the 2009 was hard to come buy on ebay for a good price.
