    You already have 50's, why not add a tube of crocs? If you didn't already have 50's, I'd say get those first. I think having silver coins that circulated is of up most importance but like to have variety

    Croc.

    Sealed tubes will pull extra premium. Premium on fiddys barely moves, crocs have potential for upside.

    I wont be cracking my tubes.

    Good idea. At worst you will always be able to trade them for 3 fiddys.

    Game, set, match...Croc. :)

    Exactly.

    The exchange rate on these can only go one way. Croc = at least 3 fiddys, it will never be 2. ;)

    There is always a seal on the tube unless it was opened.
    Was it the Crocs or the Seal ?

    If they get ugly and milky they will only be worth spot, 50's command a premium for whatever reason..

    Comparison on Crocs and Fiddy

    Croc $1 FV, while 3 x fiddy $1.50 FV.
    1 oz vs 1.02 oz in total

    Few weeks old compare to 48 years.
    Less space vs More space
    Cannot be break down vs 3 x coins


    Price wise ~ both are par at the moment.
    Potential vs Known and established by every Australian.
    May need capsule vs not require
    99.9% vs 80% with bonus copper

    Im willing to speculate that spots wont be a problem, Im willing to experiment with a couple of tubes...put some straight into airtights and leave some in an unsealed tube. Will post pics say every six months we can all check fir croc viruses. Willalso open a sealed tube in a years time and compare to the others.

    I will also post pics in 6 months of the aus/us coin tube Ive opened and examined the other week and see if any milkspots have appeared.

    SS mythbusters. :p

    Looks like the fiddy is much more popular.

    Not for me, don't have a single one and staying that way unless they sell at spot.
    I'm happy paying premiums for 999 minty fresh coins but not junk silver.
