    I recently acquired the subject item through a trade and am interested to see how much it may be worth. I have checked EBay (completed) but that hasn't given me much of an idea as well as this site. I would consider offers of either AU$ or Silver Bullion bars (= or greater than 10oz).
    Thanks!

    Each coin is worth about $80-$100.

    They were not that popular when they came out.

    Most of the coins were re-released as 'Show Coins' in different packaging. Then a 10 coin set was released in Australia (with a normal bullion uncoloured coin)

    Issue price was around $1100, quickly dropped but still usually more than $700.

    If you still want to swap it for a 10oz bar you know where to find me :)

    Quality was also a bit of an issue. Flaky paint was an issue if I recall correctly with some people having to put several sets together to get a decent set.

    Yes, this is decent with no paint flaking. Also sorry to disappoint but for the 10oz I'd be looking/hoping for about three minimum. I like the bigger bars! :)

    I know... The colour is one thing but the Australian version killed the price. Not my fav asset at the moment so I will see what I can get for it or if it's not great, good ol eBay! $1 reserve and I will upload the link here! ;)

    Will be interesting to see what the market thinks is a fair price, who knows if the price stays under spot I might even chuck on a bid myself :)

    Good luck with the auction

    Yes, I will post the final price here too so people know and will come across this at a later stage. It may be interesting!

    Hey mate, $751. Keep in mind I had to pay some ridiculous eBay fee ($120 thereabouts) so it was a costly practice. I didn't anticipate on making money but knew others would be interested in what the 'market' valued them.
    Hope this helps! :)
