People still think kooks are the equivalent version of the ASE but for Australia. True, they haven't performed as what many expected ( like Lunars) but believe me they are holding theirnown and moving up. The US has recently just started to catch the Kookaburra buzz and already 4 of the local rip-off coin shops are willing to pay OVER spot for kooks. They pay $2 under spot for maples and ASEs.

In Singapore a poster from another forum site stated that while the stores prefer Pandas (as Yennus has pointed out before) they love kooks, Lunars and koalas too.

Again, I understand how people feel about kooks. Their premiums were pretty high several years ago and when silver skyrocketed to right under $50, ASEs were going almost the same price on the bay. But since then, Kooks have really been picking up the slack and certain key dates (1990, 1996, 2008) have been getting really nice premiums.

Kooks went from a bit overrated coin to now a bit of an underrated coin. Most years were 300,000 mintage and look beautiful. We are spoiled with Dragons, Lunars, Pandas, Brittannias, etc,,,,,but many that are starting to come into the "modern numismatic" scene think kooks are hidden exquisite gems

If you can trade for older Lunars, go for it. Lunars are better than kooks but my whole point is kooks are still really nice coins and have now been picking up some steam.
