    I can't believe this, this really is crazy and beyond my comprehension.

    Ebay Item: 330539603081

    A one ounce 2006 Red back coin going for AUD$736.
    $736!!! Who would be crazy enough to want that?

    Numisists... numimatic... numatic... damn coin collectors, they are mad. I don't understand them.

    That's better than I found on there on Saturday. I've never searched for the Redback until I saw it mentioned in the Kangaroo thread.

    3 on there, all Buy Now, cheapest was $1199 (200583689129)

    For a Redback, that's cheap.

    They regularly go for around 1kg in Silver in sale value.

    Well that has just been my fact to learn for today. Redbacks go for exhorbant prices (or however it is spelt).
