As title say, as these coins in demand (hold long term value) and difficult to come by?

2011 - 2015 between these years but did the coins run earlier?

Cheers, HAPPY STACKING :-)
 
I've been a little confused about these as there are so many different types. I know the general rule is to avoid them but are there any perth mint privies worth more than their regular counterparts?
 
the guys at gold stackers reckon the 2014 koala with Chinese privy which they have in stock but cost a bit, iv picked up a couple just incase

Why do you say avoid them?

Because the privies at least in Perth Mint case is a dirty trick to circumnavigate mintage limits. That's how they skim the noobs. :)
Instead of being more valuable they are less and there are gazillions of them.
(May be chinese privy is different, but you're better of with Pandas if you want that market).

Agreed its just a scam, keep away from them unless you can buy them near to spot.
 
That's just stupid, there are very nice privy coins, the Perth Mint is not only scamming with these coins, they do it with all their coins, it wouldn't surprise me that in a few years they come with the 2 oz kookaburra from 2010.. I think privy coins a nice and very collectible. I hate more the colored coins Silver eagles and maples leafs form the last years which come from Poland, sold for big bucks but ugly as hell
 
Nice Aloha privy from 1991!

There is a 2014 lunar horse w/ lion privy, and soon to be released 2015 goat w/ lion privy. I'll be picking up one of the 2014 koala chinese privy coins....

Not sure what your talking about....the 2013 koala W/ chines privy is just a tad over 10k mintage....
most privys are either 50K or under. Wouldn't that be well under 300K for the average lunar coins? Me thinks so...
 
The majority of the privys are from the kookaburra series. If you go to ngc's website, under world coins, australia, and S5, just look at the amount of kookaburras that are privy marked....it would be cool to have that collection. I think privys as a whole are undervalued now, but might rise in value in the future....
 
I used to collect the Kookaburra privys from the start. I gave up when to European country series started as it was just too many coins coming out for me to keep up at the time.

That's what I thought way way to many to collect,although just the Australian versions would b fine I suppose...

What year was the first Australian privy marked silver coin released?

Yeah? Like lion privys (or whatever the current flavour for the German dealers/market) which doubles the mintage in one go?
Keep dreaming.

With other mints or as an original intent the privis were more valuable/collectable, not then they outnumber the original mintage, like in Perth Mint case.
You've been had by the Mint, like many others, sorry mate.
 
The only privy coins i picked up were 3 1997 kooks 1 1oz and 2 2oz coins with thomas edison, florin and shilling privy. Nice lil set of 3 privy kooks same year.

any premium placed on something is due to it being "gimmicky" surely?


"Premium" and "gimmick" are not the same thing. Though both are individually determined by consumers, that's as far as the similarity goes.

You can have gimmicky privy coins being sold for high premiums...and you can have plain basic bullion coins/blobs selling for low premiums. "Premium" has nothing to do with whether or not the coin is a gimmick (or has a gimmicky feature).
