    I'm a bit annoyed about this. Missed out on them in Australia - the US retailer that the PM directs US/Canada customers to buy from is only selling them slabbed for $799 USD. They were $475 AUD here.

    Damn $799, and I thought $475 was a rip-off....

    I'm out of the city at the moment but will be heading into the mint when I get back in about a week. They are unavailable online but the retail store may have one in stock. Last time I was in there I got talking to the guy in the store and he told me the online and retail store are separate so one might have stock when the other does not. I'm not interested but can have a look for you while I'm there. If they have any I could grab one and pass it on plus postage. Let me know.

    Might have scored one today, find out in a week if it's available or not.

    I think this might be a ripper of a coin.

    I got one of these a few days back. My local PO had one. "I just got it in" she said.

    I asked how many more she had, she said "None, I just got the 1. I'll have to order some in now."

    Which branch? Queen St GPO, Brisbane.

    At $95/oz it would want to be good.

    Got one at Sydney PO (last one on display). Showed a workmate and he thinks he saw one at another PO. If anyone is REALLY interested, I will ask him tomorrow and maybe check it out for you at lunch time (if workload permit) if I have time. Please let me know.

    Seems the serials from 1-4699 are NGC slabbed and go for USD$799
    4700-5000 are the rare ones in boxes (only 300 produced) and originally went for AUD$475
