this new series of coins has a new design every year. But with the tube frosted i cant see the coins inside. so in a few years when more designs are release, the tubes will stay the same. So you will end up having to break open the seal just to see what coins they are. If say 5 new coins are released in 5 years time and i order a tube of the now very high premium 2014 croc. I will have to crack open that tube to know if they sent me the right coins. Or keep the tube and just hope that the right coins are inside. But when i sell it off to someone else, they will have the same problem. if they decide to break the seal and open it, and its not the crocs.. is it my fault?? Lol. Im crazy over thinking this. But anyone with some tubes of crocs, u know what im talking about right??
Buy a 26th Croc, put it in a capsule and keep it with your tube. A tube to store, and a croc to look at.
His concern is the issue of trust when comes time to sell. Years down as the series progresses, a buyer cannot trust the seller if they are indeed what the seller claims them to be, unless the buyer opens them up, which makes them lose value.
What's wrong with a small label on the base of the tube? Let them open it on condition that if they are not what they are claimed to be then you will refund their money. Easy, not your problem once sold.
yeah i have put labels on them cos i know ill get alot of every new coin, just getting ready . its what beanz said. we sell and buy, what if u buy? price is higher with the seal. imagine if u bought 2000 kilo dragon and it arrived in a black box, but if you ever opened the box to see if it was actually in there, the coin would loose value. its weird. they better be changing the tube.
There are some very deep philosophical and metaphysical implications about whether there really are crocodiles in the tube if nobody can see them. Personally, I'd just put a sticker on the side of the tube and forget abut it. Or buy Noah's Arks in the transparent tubes.
Exactly. The tubes might not contain silver coins at all. The Perth Mint could be stuffing them with irradiated baby crocodiles to mess with our perceptions of reality.
Sound like a problem without labelling. Recall and ask them to put sticker on the tubes. :lol: :lol: Productions or marketing problems.
Croc tubes are semi-transparent - you can see the sides of the coins and count them, but I don't think you can make out the design.
Come clean GP, that tube you sold me last week was a scam. I decided to open it to find that it was a crock, not crocodiles. Inside was a single cylinder block, crocodile on one end, Betty Windsor on the other end, 25 indentations to give the appearance of coins, all in silver coated tungsten.
I was just thinking: sooner or later Bron will be posting on his blog that no, the Perth Mint is not trying to kill people with irradiated coins, nor is the Perth Mint a secret government weapons laboratory trying to create a race of elite half human, half crocodile warriors.
