I will add that i have put in a few stupid bids on kooks as i have 6 to go but i get out bid still.

It does not look like kookaburras are getting any cheaper.

I had a bid in for a 1990 kook at 73.58 delivered as it had no toning, thought it may make highest bid and did not care just had money at the time, it went for $112.49...

Anyone got an untoned one for sale? I may be interested.

I call BS on 90-91 kooks with no toning
It's probably been cleaned ;)
 
Do you think so?, i notice some scuffing if you look close, but my screen is not great, im using a tv without great resolution.

Im not worried if i get a toned one one day, just need one and am prepared to wait.

I have only been collecting for a year and have not really seen many 1990 in sales to know.

I've been told by a certain dealer that they should have toning
He even told me how to clean them
 
NP lunarowl thanks for letting me know, i should have posted in a kook "2008 kook expensive thread" thread as people will be expecting snake talk.

I just posted as i was surprised, i thought maybe one bid above mine but it went better than any lunar series 1 1oz probably.

Which is why i posted mainly.

When im rich again i may post a WTB thread.

I am fussy and dont even like scratchs on my capsules :).

They sure are.. got a roll at $39 each and a few singles at $38 each...

I note BB still has bulk amounts.. people seem to be down around 3-4 from the original purchase already (unless they purchased at a decent price through gold stackers).

The privy release might rip the lunar snake a new AHOle

Interesting how "Year of the snake" in Russian is "Year of the snake", "coins" in German is "coins" and "sold out" in some other languages is "sold out". The must have some well paid linguists working over at the mint...
 
Snakes have just gone down to $40.85 at BB -- about $1 off...

I have still found them cheaper... 165 left

Snakes sure will be getting cheaper in relation to stop once they stamp a privy on 200,000 of them in march !

So truth orginal version will go +50 and privy 35 $ or euro. Mint is making extra money on privy version.
 
Ok 26 Rolls of Snakes available at Bullion Bourse for $758 per roll.. $37.90 each...

The IMPOSSIBLE happend.. (lol) you can get snakes in the 37's.

Just cos the majoirty said it would not happen, didnt mean schitt.. just like Schiff says.. Just cos they are the majority does not mean they are right!

Too early to say its a PM backlash.. im slowly dumping my PM bullion as well as the few Numi items i own.. seems like there is a run on dumping them though so its obviously a bad time when we are competing with eachother to get rid of them!
