I know these are overpriced, but I have been collecting since the beginning. Will these be released this year? Thanks!
Seems it comes uncarded this year? Unless Downies etc again makes an unofficial carded version... https://eshop.ramint.gov.au/coin-pack-1-frunc-ag-2020-40mm-kangaroo-series-red-kangaroo Bullion mintage 10'000.
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.".
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 https://www.silverstackers.com/forums/index.php?threads/wtb-carded-ram-roos-seasons-of-change-2016-2018-2019.99535/
