Sold thanks. 

Another run for the collectors,I don't need to say how hard these 3 are to get at a fair price. Plus no customs grief buying in the UK. £300 inc RMSD to a UK address. All coins are in excellent condition with no spots, any marks are on packaging. 

I will sell these separately from Wednesday @ £100 each plus postage of your choice. 

I just want to give collectors a chance who are not on here 24/7 

@MrStacker stick a pic up pal.

Hello dear friends of precious metals, for the weekend a few more beautiful coins that I personally like very much. Unfortunately, the 5oz in BU and Antique Finish as well as the 1oz in Antique Finish will apparently no longer be minted from the new Apollo onwards. This is a great pity for collectors of this popular series Gods of Olympus. I have therefore also ended the series for myself. Here are the pictures of my last coins. I wish you all a peaceful weekend and greetings from Maxe. 

 

 

Yeah as a collector myself I don't understand why Perth mint does these things,they are the worst mint in the world IMHO for messing about or changing things part way through a series.

I used to collect all the 2oz silver proof kookaburras until they stopped them in 2005 but they have started them again I think 2017 (correct me if I'm wrong) but I'm not having a collection with a 12 or 13 year gap.

@CowPat No but the coin looks right to me.

£300

Oooooohhhhhhhh my credit account with RM is paid off, shall I go for the 2oz gold and hope for the best/gamble on it 🤞 🤔

You'll have to Paul to keep your set going.

For what it is I don't think that is over the top price wise.One to keep for the beauty of it a collectors item for sure.

@Kitalon plod are as much use as a chocolate fireguard, you commit a minor traffic offence or call someone by the wrong gender & they'll be all over you like a ton of bricks. 

@Rares The coin you show has no privy & is the standard bullion coin.

Yeah I'm talking about anyone who needs or wants to sell instantly say a 500oz monster box or similar. Personally I've never ever seen a dealer offer over spot for silver.

@Rares I don't if you know the mintage on that coin but the declared mintage is 20,602

I've just had an email from Atkinsons who are paying 10% over spot for silver coins.

Might be useful for anyone who has big lump of coins they want gone quickly. 

@dicker you are not wrong about ms 70 kooks being expensive, I've got a few coming from the US over the next week or so. I haven't bought anything from the US for nearly 2 years & am a bit annoyed that you pay a sales tax on top of your purchase price on ebay & elsewhere I didn'tpay any sales tax before. Then I've got the vat grief to look forward to here.

I guess in the US they are hunting for tax everywhere same as here to pizz up the wall & fund illegals grrrr.

@kimchi did have lol I'm not up to speed with the newer stuff.

Thank you @motorbikez, great info. I was just curious about how much it's a 1999 Australian 2 Oz Silver 2 Dollars  P100 "The Australian Kookaburra" worth, aprox
There are some for sale on ebay for 135 pounds, but I'm not sure that's the real price for it

I'd value that around £75‐£85 

The problem with privy marked kookaburras is there are literally hundreds of them.10- 15 years ago there was an Australian data base which had them all listed with mintage figures but it has since disappeared into the ether.

That was the main reason I didn’t collect them you would never know if you had them all.Within those hundreds of privy marks were specific sets for example European countries so you could complete that set they were 1oz specimen coins in a case,basically a bullion kook struck twice.

I had a few 2oz silver proof kooks with a privy mark & most of them I sold made no more (indeed usually less) than the standard proof coin.There are always exceptions as some collectors will know exactly what a specific coin is worth & if they need a rarish one they'll just buy it.

My advice to anyone starting collecting kooks is keep away from the privy versions IMHO it is just the Perth mint taking the pizz to get more money out of collectors. Something our own Royal Mint is adept at.

But as a collector if you particularly like a coin privy or no privy buy it.

🤔😮oh! Can see now why you’re selling your other great looking Australian stuff! 😮Despite not wanting to spend too much on silver, I am still being tempted by the odd Britannia and more recently some RAM to try to make/continue ‘runs’ of types🤔 … oh yes, despite being slabbed, great looking coins!😮

I'm trimming some of my collections that I have duplicates/ the same designs of ,re 1oz roos I have the full run of silver 1oz proofs to keep me happy.Although I  do sometimes find it hard to let go of stuff lol.

But like anyone who is a collector you have to be realistic unless you have an unlimited budget.

I've been collecting coins seriously since 2008 although I've bought the odd coin since I was a boy.I've various continuing collections still on going but I'd like to know what brand new stuff you are starting this year.

For some reason I've never collected 1oz silver bullion kooks I have full runs in 1oz 2oz & 10oz silver proofs but not 1oz bullion.

So today I'm starting a brand new collection of 1oz kooks in MS 70 these are my 1st 4
