    What do people think about this? Actually add some value or just ebay bs? I've got a number of perth mint coloured coins I am considering selling to buy more lunars or bullion, some of which are low or consecutive numbers. eg 1oz silver Thermopylae coin, numbers 944,945,946,947 and 948. Also got some bush babies joeys, some of which i believe have the "error" on the foot/leaves I saw some sold on ebay as and commanding a higher premium...The error is barely noticable and theres no longer any error listings on ebay. Im not big on numismatics so Im interested to know if collectors are interested in this kind of thing.

    Consider yourself lucky if you get back the purchase price plus interest and selling fees.

    G'Day,

    Sheeple love that consecutive number/low number bs.

    If you market it right on the bay you should get a significant premium.

    Cheers

    The Famous Battles Series you have - you'll be doing well to get back their issue price after fees etc....

    Thanks for replies, yes i am aware some of the perth mint coloured coins are dubious investments. Famous battle series was a dissapointing underperformer ...however i do quite like the Thermopylae coin so may just hang onto them.
