    I think you need to amend your price from $280 for a kilo coin..

    For what it's worth, that's not one of the proof versions limited to 500 as you've said

    That's just a normal BU 1kg, over 27,000 minted

    Thank you for the knowledge @Soprano16.
    Can you enlighten me as to why people will pay AUS $ 1,750.00 for the proof version when it is made by the same company and of the same grade with the only added features of a certificate/paper and number plus a display case along with a card board box with a pretty picture on it.

    The proof is a different coin, where the background behind the look on yours is frosted, the proof ones are mirrored. You can google the image or search on eBay.

    It's a lot more than just a piece of paper and pretty box. Just like SilverSurfer has said, proof coins have a mirrored finish, so you can see yourself when looking at the coin, where as BU are frosted and "normal"

    Proof coins cost more to make and are usually produced in a limited number and these are the things that add to their value

    Here's a google image of the 2017 proof Kook - notice that very shiny and mirror like quality? That's a proof coin, where as the one you have listed is the normal bullion coin
