    here there everywhere
    Depends on a few things
    If you expect them to go up in price NO
    If you like the design go for it
    I like them , just can't afford them :(

    Under spot. Yes.

    Under the influence. Maybe.

    Any other reason. No.

    I've observed these.... if a proof coins series r TOO Australia centered, it would lost international buyers's interest..... hence, secondary market appreciation would b limited.... but, there might b some exemptions....

    I would buy it if you liked the design or as a gift but not as an investment.

    Appropriate-shaped air-tight capsules are available with the original packaging :)

    Currently, one sells at around 90 $ on eBay, but NGC-slabbed MS70 graded pieces sell for 120 $.

    I've been watching a few of these and I reckon the sellers are having a lot of trouble getting rid of them: few people ever buy.

    they make heaps of coins with 6,000 mintage, reminds me of when they started producing basketball cards, 1/1.
    wow, a 1/1 jordan, or a 1/1 shaq, problem is there's thousands of jordan 1/1's every collector in the world has a bunch of jordan 1/1's
    don't be fooled by mintages, and certainly don't be fooled by slabbed/graded coins.

    Stupidly I started, then finished the full set - I know I will never recoup.... A lesson learned.

    Which Kook? A coloured Kook?

    I love the standard non-coloured Kooks.

    I actually like the design of this map-shaped coin, but I think I'd have trouble re-selling it... unless Kiyosaki's 100 $ silver kicks in.

    Ha, indeed, it does!

    Was able to get a closer look, as Apmex has a few dozen of them for $85 USD cash, apiece.


    Anyway, still not interested, LOL.

    I suppose the concept was better on paper. Perhaps they could have went a different route with it.

    I meant the first coin..the kook design on this map-shaped coin if you can find at the decent price.

    They could be interesting, but I'm happy to wait 3-5 years when they'll be getting flogged for a little over spot along with a whole lot of the same gimmicky items. I can't really imagine a future premium on this whole genre of non-coins.
