    Hey guys I was doing a demolition at work at an abandoned house over the weekend and came across a little blue Australian mint pouch and inside was this gold coin, I'm just wondering if it holds much value and are they easy to sell?

    A fair price based on the current spot + 5% would be $428
    Cheers

    U should be able to sell it here quite easily. Probably with a local buyer for f2f meeting.

    OK - I know this is old, but just in case you have something unusual, you *probably* have a $200 gold coin with a Koala on it, but there are others using the same pouch - check the mintage year. The blue pouch indicates it is uncirculated (relatively high mintage). If it doesn't have a Koala, look more closely :) Photos always help. It doesn't have a great deal of inherent value over spot, but one attraction is that it will never drop below $200. Lots of info out there. Lots of these spent time in drawers whilst gold languished (hopefully the days will not return).
