KooKoo for Kooks.

IMO I think the square cap kooks will be worth more then this in years to come, especially the 1990 square cap (never reminted)

Cheers, HAPPY STACKING :-)
 
Amazing how the kooks just go up in price. I'm sure they don't have these priced at these levels not to make sales. Lol. I love me some kooks. :o. I'm kookooo for Kooks. Can't wait for the 2017's to come out.

A fellow kook fan and also looking forward to the release of the 2017

How can you differentiate the square cap if I were to put them into round cap?

Differentiate hmm perhaps not but you can buy empty square caps anyways.

Perhaps I am the only one who thinks square caps will command a higher price over the remints in years to come...

And the patina.

How much would the prices differ for any random Kook in original holder vs. after market holder (say an air tite, etc)? I have accumulated many kooks not in original holders and I am going to try and sell them at a coin show where I will have my own booth.

I want to keep most of my original holder coins (I have several early years coins in orig holders) since I like to build complete sets in orig holders and sell them that way as a complete set.

Thus far I would say $5-$15 difference depending on the year, but I can see this gap widening as the years roll on...just one man's opinion :-)

GRETZKY, I just don't buy the square cap thing. I have some square caps and took some of the horrendous toning I had on some coins, opened them up, put those in a capsule, and put my newly remint coin from the perth in the square capsule. would you be able to tell? So, I guess what we need to do, is buy us some square capsules for about $.05 and put our freshly minted 1992 -1998's inside, and charge an additional $10.00 a pop, and we'll be rich? Yeah, I think you may be smok'n too much of the funny stuff. hehehe.

Exactly, the Perth Mint really screwed Kookaburra collectors with that remint fiasco .

Great that with the help of one great USA friend I could get 2016 Kooks for just around 19 USD!

I would think they would only be worth more if somebody collects attached square cap kooks as they do with unwrapped coin rolls.

Then why do sellers even on this forum list square cap kooks at a higher premium than re mint round caps even when selling side by side? I know this is fact because I purchased all of my square cap kooks on this forum and avoided the re mints.

I agree that they can just simply be swapped out and I mentioned this in a thread 2 years ago, but I suggest most sellers wouldnt just swap caps out for the small gains of a single sale which most are. Some collectors are willing to pay a little more for the original and $10 is not so unreasonable given many sellers would not contemplate playing the new lamps for old game unless they had no old lamps to sell.

Also how would a re mint (94 I think?) get the original kook entire gold patina? and why are specimen coins of the same years very often cheaper and less desirable than the square cap bullion kooks? Why are original walleted Proof kooks not much more to buy than square cap bullion kooks?

I have however noticed that my square capped gold 1/10ths have cost no more to buy than round caps or even no caps. :)

Just opinion but I think square caps trump the rounds caps.
