Hi all,

Just picked up this carded set from LCS this afternoon, coz the 5 privies look pretty cool.
I couldn't find much references to this other than the mintage of 9,999.
Just wondering if this set is desirable? and what's the expected market value.

Many thanks!
 
Pretty good looking coin - since the privies are based on US coins, i reckon the optimal price would be paid by an American collector.

Are the Quarters made out of silver as well ?

Cu-ni (unfortunately) :(
 
I think it looks good, but agree that an Amercian collector would be the target market.

2 reasons I wouldn't pay a premium for it-

1 - Its not relevant to my local market
2 - Being a Peth Mint product the premium is capped. As they have proven on many occasions, once one of their products reaches a certain value they find a loophole in they system to remint it. That means if this particular coin gains huge value for some reason you can rely on the Perth Mint to find a way of robbing your premium from you. Just like they did with the Mouse, dragon and kookaburra series.
With these types of fringe products you're usually better off buying something made by a reputable mint.
 
Agree. I'll do a bit more market research, most likely will go to feebay to flip.
 
Got it from the Wynyard coin shop.. Sydneyians, go and check out the shop.. I've never seen so many kookas before :D

*disclaimer: i don't work there and i don't hold any shares of the company (not that they're listed anyway)
