    "THE AUSTRALIAN NUGGET GOLD COIN....1 KILO 9999 GOLD" starting bid $3,000.00 :lol:

    Looks just like the souvenir 1kg paper weight I bought from the Perth Mint 10 years ago.

    You gotta hand it to that dude... brave stuff trying to pass off a "Perth Mint 1991 Kilo Gold Coin" amongst his other items, a Holden hub cap and a Bedford Truck headlight. :rolleyes:

    No COA or presentation box, that's why it's so cheap :p

    Expensive paperweight alright.

    Yes indeed, though RRP has recently gone down to $39.90 in line with spot gold falls.

    Dropping fast, down to $39 already! http://www.perthmint.com.au/catalogue/australian-nugget-coin-paperweight.aspx

    Interesting... The paperweight doesn't have the year on it yet the advertised coin does

    That's why there's no pic of the back, because it's green and velvety

    How embarrassing...I hope no one gets stung. Surely someone is bound to ask for the pics.

    My conscience says intervene. But then I am interested in how this plays out. Only 8 days to go...

    Mate it's unfolding before our eyes...the bid is now $6,100.00 for a gold plated paper weight :rolleyes:

    It's gotta be a joke. Any response from the seller to your question?
