    Friendly with the people at the local newsagents, so they kept me one.

    Now trying for a second set for a mate who missed out.. that should be fun to find at the issue price. :lol:

    Just checked and it looks that infamous auction site still has a lot of this set listed as BIN, as well as auctions ending soon. A last resort if I can't get a set for my mate at issue price, but it's his money, not mine.

    Although if it's me spending the money being asked now for this "ANZAC to Afganistan" coin set, and I wanted to stay with a modern minted Aussie Numi set, I'd go for a 2016 "Baby Set" or the 2016 "In Come The Dollars" set which includes the low mintage 1c and 2c piece in it

    Only the $1 poppy that sky rocketed...2016 won't go anywhere as there is no special limited coins...and even the new 25 cent didn't really take off.

    Surely the 1st factor will hold at minimun value but likely to increase well

    Actually there was a 25 cent coin struck by the Perth Mint in 1988, 1989 & 1990 as part of their Holey Dollar & Dump Silver commemoratives. The Holey Dollar had a legal tender value of $1.00 and the dump was 25 cents :)
