Hi, apart from PM's, I buy Perth Mint base metal issues, for the grandson of course mainly young collectors, PNC's etc, prices are reasonable especially for the PNC's which have been at $15.95 since 2010 but I see now they are $19.95 a 20% increase. I wonder if our States debt has anything to do with it, haha ask a stupid question! Sorry I had to post as I was a bit miffed. Cheers
PNCs.......... Have not touched them since 2007. loaded up with the Surf life saving one with the 20c coin. Paid the $15.95 with a mintage of 30, 000 Lucky to sell one for $10 on ebay, if you are lucky. The PNC market got flooded with private issue crap. The onlyone that I did well with was the 2005 World Heritage with Aussie & English 50 cent coins.
Same as the rubbish collector coins issued by RAMINT. A $1 coin stuck on a piece of cardboard, or they stamp C, M, S, P on a coin and then they charge $10 or $15. Ill informed people buy them. There is a new sucker every day!!
