Will there be more shenanigans when the market opens tonight in about 13 and a half hours?

Here in the states, there’s a popular site, that shows the pricing of bullion items from all the big online dealers. (I won’t name it cause I am not sure if that’s against the rules). I like Libertads. I just checked it. 8 large online bullion dealers. Cheapest price for a 23 Bu is $30.10. Most expensive is $41.79. It is common for the cheapest vendor to rotate position, as it’s never always the same vendor with the best price. An $11.69 per coin difference is pretty bonkers to me. All these big bullion vendors do weekly specials. So that partly explains why they change so much on the price ladder. I suppose some of the higher priced ones may also have all they are going to get, and don’t mind sitting on them and waiting for the market to come to them? Atkin sounds like Apm@@ here in the states. Never the best price, and they have the widest selection. Why anyone would buy bullion from them boggles my mind. Yet they probably sell the most. Different business model than a couple of the other ones who operate on thin margins and fight for market share. Happy Shopping.

I am certainly a bigger loser. My stack I loaded up on bars in early October when silver was flirting with $21 an ounce. My collecting is atrocious. Ms 70 Kookaburras, Proof, and Reverse Proof Libertads are my weakness.

Perth Mint went a lil crazy with all the privy shenanigans. I have to stay away because they are like Pokémon’s, I get one and then I gotta get them all. The proof, 10oz and 1 kilo Kookaburras are my favorite. ❤️

Prediction: gold $1965 silver $23.48

Kookaburras and Libertads are my 2 favorite coins. As far as 1oz Kookaburras: I live in Texas. I think most of y’all live in the UK. Kookaburras sit in this really weird spot here. New release Kookaburras, Libertads, ASE sit close in price. Out of ASE, Libertads, and Kookaburras, Kookaburras would absolutely get the lowest premium return when selling here. I could go sell 500 ASE or Libertads no problem. Trying to find a buyer of 50 Kookaburras would be a problem. Ultimately I think it’s the perception of the community. Kookaburras have low mintages, high Perth Mint quality going for them. What kookaburras don’t have going for them is that they are a poor stacking option. I think it says a lot, that I as someone who loves and collects Kookaburras, wouldn’t even stack them because liquidating them in any quantity would be an issue. Kookaburras in general are under appreciated by the public.

I am starting a full run best grade slabbed Kookaburra collection. Kookaburra’s definitely have a rabbit hole of Privy Marks, 10oz, 1 Kilo etc. I tend to like Perth Mint products Good quality, low mintages, and I like how the design changes yearly. I also want to start a Libertad collection. I need to spend far more time studying that market.

Hi. I am new to the coin world, but I have found the kookaburras to be my favorite. I am thinking to start a collection myself, so was happy to see this discussion. Personally I like the 10oz. and 1 kilo versions. Cool design, low montage, and the premium isn’t bad at all, especially compared to ASE’s. For the 1.oz, 10oz, 1 kilo kookaburra coins, what sort of retention of premium should I expect if I sell them on? Living in Texas, and kookaburras being an Australian coin, I would think I would only get spot price. Thanks for any feedback and education. Greatly appreciated.
