2 oz ANDA silver snake

No one interested in this coin?

Managed to snag 2 at the fair............

 

Not as popular as last years dragon, selling for half it's price. It's mainly for numi collectors who already have started the set.

 

Anyone know where these are still available?

Should have asked this question before you went to the fair.

 

Downies have them for anyone interested in Melbourne.

Perth Mint should really give the ANDA show coins a privy mark to differentiate them to the normal 2 oz coloured. The only thing unique currently is the packaging and COA.

 

I have 1 spare.

 

Seems they are selling in excess of AUD200 at the bay....

 

You can buy the 2oz coloured coin for about $100, how much is a box and piece of paper worth ?

 

Surprising insight Matthew. Weren't you only recently saying that a coin with missing COA is worth much less than one with COA?

 

Collectors collect all kinds of printed matter.

If you are a collector of ANDA, or maybe some other collectable packaged coin then good-on-ya.

I collect the Perth Mint carded koala coins that are classed as specimen coins but the coin is a bullion coin. The 2007 - 2012 carded Koala's fetch a very good premium and just recently the 2012 carded koala was withdrawn and has the lowest carded mintage of the series so far and is now rarely seen on ebay.

I don't think we should knock collectors or flippers for buying packaged coins but we can let new collectors and stackers know that the carded or packaged coins like ANDA are available as either bullion coins or coloured bullion coins.

Some of us have tried to use some logic with The Perth Mint to produce a special coin for their coin show specials or at-least somehow make the coin "different" in some way so that collectors have a unique coin with packaging.

My suggestion would be for the small mintage of say ANDA coins or other coin show specials to have the coins hand selected or have them graded to about 69.

I'm sure collectors wouldn't mind paying a few bucks more for a packaged and graded coin; it would benefit the secondary market and also provide The Perth Mint with additional sales opportunities.

My preference would be for a unique mint mark; nothing flash just something to make the coins "Special"

I dont make the rules, I just observe them.

 

...aaaaaand ... Here they are on the Perth Mint website. 64 in stock.

4 pages of recent releases at the mint and none of the coins sold out.
It looks like they get what they deserve and they have only themselves to blame.

 

^ Remember the 2oz ANDA Dragon? Queues and a limit of 1 per customer. On the mint's website, its sale crashed the webpage. Now, you can buy as many as you like, no 1 per person limit.

Suffer Perth Mint, hope this mess of your own doing really hurts your bottom line. You shaft and rip off customers, you reap what you sow.

 

I think the Perth Anda snake looks like it will not sell out. Picked up 2 from Downies and there were 20-30 boxes still unsold.

Anyway I have put one up for auction on feebay more out of curiosity to gauge market interest. Have a look and you never know ... Might pick it up below cost.

Might got something to do with spot being this low.
Before, the modern numis are about over 2x spot.
With today's price it's over 3x spot..

 

^ Yep, the Perth Mint put up its numismatic silver coins to $109 because they claimed silver had risen in price. Funny how silver is now lower than where it was in December 2010 but the Perth Mint haven't dropped their silver numi coins to December 2010 prices..... well, not surprising really given their recent tricks.
