    IMHO: Lunars for snapping up and flipping (short term) Kooks for longer term holding.

    That's the impression I get from the way they move in their respective micro-markets.

    I prefer Kooks, but that's my preference. Why? More stable, less hype-ish.

    Edit: Lunars at a decent price are always a good idea too, getting them for low-ish premium is difficult sometimes though

    Both, in short, either can return good profits depending on the year/type

    What about the different sizes? So not just the 1oz coins but the 10's and kgs?

    We still can find old kilo Kooks from the nineties for small premium while you'll rarely find an S1 kilo coin for less than $1000
