    I wouldn't hesitate if made that offer - provided I trusted the source as offering legit items. dirt cheap imo.

    Agreed - good price for the very first Kook ever made - actually only knew of proof versions? Paid $50 6 months ago from a fellow SS

    I would love to pick one up at that price assuming the coin in is mint condition.
    Most of the 1990 kook I've came across have toning & scratches :(

    Sounds ok, but your call as to whether you know the dealer, or get the right vibes, but the price is good for genuine article. There are Chinese counterfeiters reproducing coins from other countries but haven't heard that they've got around to kooks yet. 1990 kooks are desirable

    it's normal for coin that old to have toning, but it's nicer without it :)
