    Nothing fascinating, just said that I got most of them from ebay. Some sets were as low as AUD$290 delivered (1984), some were as high as AUD$442 delivered (1989).

    Based on mintage figures than 1989 Historical Figures has got to be the key date with a mintage of only 5679 sets produced. Some sets had mintages of over 20000. Fair value of the 1989 set should be north of $1500 since the average price of most sets are around $400.

    Just picked up a set of Historical Figures 1986 for $450.00.

    3 of the coins are NGC PF69s and 1 is a NGC PF 68.

    IMHO a pretty good price considering to grade 4 coins would cost around USD$100.00

    Therefore like buying the set raw for $350.00 and you probably wouldn't even be lucky enought to get 3 coins graded at 69 and the other a 68.
