Hmm... it seems like things are slowly changing over time. It has faced decades of being unfairly shunned.

In poor condition they do all kinds of funky surface changes.

They will continue to be dis-hoarded and melted. Many have lost hope in the numismatic market but there are glimmers of new kinds of interest surfacing. This new interest is coming from stackers with curiosity and overseas. It's too early to tell if the market will become more collectable but certainly pre and post are an excellent "cheap" way to acquire silver coinage (fractional). This will change over time.

On a side note... there are things that are shunned like many older Olympic coins e.g. sterling. And some other coins. Although there are stackers there are way less collectors of this stuff. The people that spend money a lot modern numismatic and stuff are grandparents and trust me most grandchildren couldn't care less, technology is where they are at. Times have seriously changed. Kids aren't going to movies and eating on a few bob anymore.

Prices swing quite a bit in Sydney. I can usually buy bulk between spot plus 5 to 10%. One rule of thumb is spot plus an Aussie dollar. They can sell in small numbers for spot plus 20 to 30%. Because they are not a bullion coin and impossible to hedge , like for like, if bought at a certain price, most sellers sit on them to sell at a higher price.

Offer to buy 100 of them at 50% above spot and I suspect you will find some pretty quick :D :D
 
LOL - you got me there Gollum. Really why didn't I think of that.

I see that getting them at spot plus an Aussie dollar is not too hard.

But I guess like most I want the least % above spot possible. Better still below spot.

...3d are the only size coin not to have copper-nickel modern equivalents to be 'accidently' included in the bag...[/quote]

Unless you 'accidentally' get some British or New Zealand post 1947 coins in the bag :mad:
