Hello I have a change to buy large amount of 2009 one kilo silver koala and/or kookaburra coins for $60 (USD) per coin over spot price of silver. To me this sound an incredible deal. I think I will pull the trigger. Which of the two should I buy? What is the collector potential of these coins? Thanks in advance
Easy answer. Out of the two it's the 2009 Kookaburra for sure. Lower mintage, more collectable and sort after.
I think you are wrong on the mintage. The mintage of 2009 kilo koala is 34 947 while the mintage of the kilo kook is 74 757 Source: Perth Mint http://www.perthmint.com.au//docume...ra_Silver_Bullion_Coin_Series_1990_-_2015.pdf http://www.perthmint.com.au//docume...la_Silver_Bullion_Coin_Series_2007_-_2015.pdf It seems atleast that 2009 koala has hardly ever been for sale in eBay. However I am not saying the kook would not be better choice.
In my opinion the 2009 Koala should be your first choise. All kilo coinsin BU do not have a high premiun but the deales offered sales here in Germany is actually slightly better. And I do prefer the 2009 Koala motive.
