I know what you mean, I've been so tempted to pull them all out of the boxes and cards and put them into capsules, but I figure someone would rather have them in the original packaging.

Useless fact # 2 -- 3 x full sovs + 1 x $200 = Exactly 1 Troy oz fine gold (AGW) Well, not Exactly --- .2354 x 3, + .2947 = 1.0009 -- That's near enough to an oz for me
Steve Aurora et Luna has all of those Johnno - but you'd need to bite his arm off or provide services of the most indecent kind to prise the '93 from him
Aussie $200 gold coin is my favourite gold coin. * If gold plummets to $500/oz, these puppies are still worth $200 * Low premiums * Good size, just over 1/4oz * Made in Australia
Why? You can cash them in for $200 and go and buy more gold. No way i'll be leaving them in my drawer if gold plummets!
lets talk mintages, common misnomer regarding these little beauties is the proofs fetch more than the bullion, check out the mintages for each, as you see from 1988 onwards the proof minatges were higher, making the bullion version ,carded or not much, more attractive, well to me at least now any numismatic with minatge under 5000 should be attractive to any collector, especially aussie gold coins, happy hunting 1980 Koala (Machin Portrait) BU 207,500 P 50,700 1981 Royal Wedding BU 77,890 , P 0 1982 XII Commonwealth Games BU 77,206 P 30032 1983 Koala BU 88, 000, P 15889 1984 Koala BU 49,200 P 12584 1985 Koala (new effigy - Maklouf Portrait) BU 29, 186 P 16691 1986 Koala BU 15,298 P 16,654 1987 First Fleet Departure BU 20, 800 P 20,000 1988 First Fleet Arrival BU 11,000 P 20,000 1989 Frilled - Neck Lizzard BU 10,020 P 30,032 1990 Platypus BU 8,340, P 14,616 1991 Emu BU 6,879 P 9,560 1992 Echidna BU 3,935 P 9,521 1993 Squirrel Glider BU 3,014 P 5,000 1994 Tasmanian Devil BU 4,000 P 5,000
