    My observation is that RAM Kanga are under-appreciated here in Oz, but commands premium overseas in Europe & US.

    I think that 2012 Rock Wallaby looks a bit...chunky.

    Much nicer than the hung over koala though.

    Last week it was, this week i can see why RAM raised the price. I mean silver spot has gone over $50.. they need to know they can source blanks and mint the kangaroos for $60 now which means they proberbly wont lose too much money making them, at $50 the risk is buying the raw silver @ more than the final sale price - a bunkrupting strategy.

    Yep to me.. $60 is still decent and the quickening is upon us.. few years back i thought $25 was taking the piss

    Downies $87 - who can find $88!

    Proof $100 online.

    Their little spiel says "available at issue price."

    You can find them elsewhere for $60 but really $87?! Sheesh - JOKE! The RAM will list them online soon and they will be $60. Some trying to cash in on them being "just" released it seems.

    yep RAM drastically raised the prices on all the roos :(
    unc: $50 -> $87
    proof: $65 -> $100

    Gold roo has gone from $260 to $365 this year!
    Was sold out online within an hour last year - still available now at the end of the first day....
    ... gee, wonder why - 2011 and 2010 gold roos sell for less than that

    Combination of high price and ugly coin = possible future boomer ??

    Mind bogglingly stupid. I can't see myself buying anything from either RAM or Perth mint this year. Domestic market fail.

    The gold roo was my worst performer. Bought it at end of 2009 @189.
    Today it is not possible to sell it at this price.
