    I know these are overpriced, but I have been collecting since the beginning. Will these be released this year?

    Thanks!

    To anyone interested in this topic, I sent an email to the RAM and here is their response: "The Royal Australian Mint with not be producing a 2020 Silver Kangaroo Series on a presentation card.".

    How about Downies, sometimes they'll do a card if RAM don't.

    RAM previously issued 2 versions of the frosted 1oz silver kangaroo coin: carded and non-carded. Both sold for only slightly less than the proof version.

    So I guess now only offering a non-carded version saves their production costs. And the 2020 coin is now about 45% cheaper than the proof coin.

    Probably a good idea.
    Royal Australian Mint (RAM) have Baoquan Coin Investment's as one of their distributors.
    If you remember back when the coloured dragons were all the rage, Baoquan placed a huge order with Perth for their coloured bullion coins, they then repackaged them into sets
    so, Baoquan are very experienced in this field.
    Having said that, histories mintage figures maybe a hurdle for the Roos.
    RAM, like The Perth Mint, often yield to what customers want, so it's worth an email or two. ;):)

    Such a shame, I've collected these forever and a bit annoyed quite frankly. an end of an era--like me too.
    Not buying ripe bananas anymore. Looking to sell some of my sets (full-27 coins), and a bit of a loss as to how much they would be worth . Can you guys help?
    I see Apmex have just a few of the lower value ones left-and none under $100---actually the 11 listed average $116.
    Appreciate any advice.

    Look at Australian auctions if you want to sell them locally in Oz (not for selling in auctions but for realistic reference prices). E.g., pre-2000 roos seem to go for around $40-$42'ish.

    I'm looking for 2016 and 2019 ;)
