    What do you guys think about this?

    Personally i really like it. But it is so hard to like investment wise. i dont see it having a big market demand wise.

    Mintage is 5,000

    The price is $104

    Upcoming releases in the series are:
    Didgeridoo
    Captain Cook
    Surfing

    And finally the coin:

    Thats an amazing design and a great use of colours. Too bad Im not interested in numismatics. Great coin though

    Sure it looks nice, but at $104, just do a risk/reward analysis by taking into account the following points:

    1. Of the last 20 or 30 coloured numismatic releases, how many sell now for under their list price and how many sell above their list price?

    2. When taking into account buying coloured numismatics, you have to remember how much it will cost you to sell (eg fees), the time you intend to hold to make a profit and therefore the opportunity lost in your funds being tied up in this coin as opposed to a higher returning investment.

    If you like it, buy it. The most you can lose is $70 if it's value goes to spot.


    There would be far more collectors in the world that would relate to a snake or spider on a coin than the opera house on a coin.

    That's a good way of putting it, I might go to downies in a couple weeks to have a look at it, bullion is so much easier to buy
