AUCTION - 10oz Lots (Big Coins and Little Coins)

G'day Stackers,

We've had few "Bar Battles", now for a Coinage Auction to finish things up

Disclaimer : It's really REALLY not the time to be selling silver but circumstances dictate otherwise help a fellow Stacker fund his rather quickly planned impending nuptials in Bali (in 3 weeks time )

On offer here are a couple of interesting "sets" of 10oz Silver - some 10oz coins, a mob of 1oz Roos and a rather eclectic mix of coins totalling a 10oz batch

Auction finish at 17:00 AWST (18:30 NT & SA/19:00 QLD/NSW/VIC) - Monday 5th...Tonight!!!
*Due to agreeance among the majority of participants, and no "nays" received, the Auction finish is being brought forward* - There has also been "requests" for another Auction to fill the gap created so keep an eye out at the end of this one

*No edited Bids, please the Forum does indicate "edited" when posts are edited (look above the "Quote Reply" right hand side) so if you make a bid and it turns out the same or lower than a previous bid please place a new post for the bid to make it higher rather than "edit" the post with the unsuccessful bid - although editing to clarify a Lot # is fine *

Due to no "seconds" showing on Forum time-clock any duplicate bids with the same timestamp will be "first in line" gets the spot

Just a beginner question:
Is 10oz Kookaburra Silver Coin much better than other 10oz? People seems much prefer it.

I'm in it for the sweet,sweet copper! I see you...CU

 

Ahoy, Welcome Aboard and thanks for the bid @BelfastChild (Joining the fray with a hefty increase on Lot 4 (the 2011 10oz Kook) )

It's hard to say what individuals prefer, for me I would think the Lunars are good value (and certainly are at the current price point ) but the Kookaburras have a great following too

Lot 1 (Eclectics) – $300 SteelHand
Lot 2 (10oz Goat) – $285 Real $
Lot 3 (10oz Pig) – $285 Real $
Lot 4 (10oz Kook) – $345 BelfastChild
Lot 5 (the Kangas) – $300 SolidAg

 

I don't consider myself an expert on this matter, but here's my take on it.

The Perth Mint has global recognition and renown for its products; the fact that it's a government-backed (be that for better or worse), legal tender coin with an annual drastic design change - leading to collectibility - along with theoretically limited mintage (the 1oz variety might be produced in the millions, whereas the larger coins could be only in the tens of thousands).
There's a lot of international and also domestic demand for certain years, which could be for any reason. Or no reason at all.
And, unlike let's say the Chinese Pandas, which command a huge premium relative to the mass, the local example of larger bullion coins tend to be just as good (if not better) than the other offerings.

It all ultimately comes down to individual preference - whether you want to collect for the semi-numismatic allure or you just plan to stack them for the silver content (there are better options for that), as long as you have your own reasons behind it, everything is collectible




Now while I'm here...
