    Hello folks - a newbie to the whole PM thing - so be gentle

    I just started off by buying a baby coin proof set for my daughter in 2006 when she was born and now am totally addicted to buying anything 2006 to stash away for her. I missed out on the lunar coins so have been scouring Ebay for a deal

    Ive also decided to dump everything I got ie. my record collection (6000 odd pieces of vinyl and over 1000 CDs), my old comic book collection when I collected as a kid (2000ish) and every other bit of rubbish in my house that is taking up space to sell and convert into silver or gold. SAD BUT TRUE

    A warm welcome to you! Nothing sad about selling collectibles to fund purchases of gold and silver. Enjoy your stay, I'm sure you will learn a lot here.

    I'm not too sure on the premium for the coloured lunars, but I personally find them to be quite fugly :p
    Having a quick look on completed ebay listings, one went for around $100 (110709692130) and another went for around $125 (260815213433).

    So I guess its really up to the buyer what they are willing to pay..

    I know there was a television movie with the 'W-word' as the title. Just the 'W-word'.

    I suppose the word is used so profusely its beginning to lose its power, like the word 'dyke'.

    Lunarowl: UR A GEM!!!!!!!!!!! mate I knew I came to the right place. Its only as a keepsake momento for my daughter - its not going into my stack or anything, hopefully it can be the start of her own stack. In saying that I tried to swindle a don bradman 20c coin from her the other day - tried to swap it for a normal one but she refused so i ended up saying I will keep it for her and put it in a 2x2 along with the rest of the coins

    fishball: lol - just a name that came off the cuff, no harm meant by it

    Welcome blippy, I have a 2006 proof kangaroo if you're interested. It was quite a good design that year. You can give me records for it if you like. :)
