Aussie Kookaburra's

[scouse12345]

Got a shed load of Aussie Silver Kooks, i'm about too offload.., i haven't sold on the site as yet, but do realise, i can't just put "Offers" etc....If someone with more knowledge than myself, could kindly message me, or offer assistance in prices i should be asking, it would help me etc.... Kooks all capsuled, and range from 1 ounce through to full kilo's.... 2015...2016...2017....

Thanks in advance...

It is a tough sell at the moment £30 a coin would be max, I would think.

[scouse12345]

Interesting how people's perception of value varies, thanks Silvergaga, appreciate the comment, and time taken... do i think personally £30 per 1 ounce, considering age and mintage, and premium for kooks a good price...no...:)

When the market is booming you might get £32 for the later years, perhaps £35-42 for the earlier coins

There was a set of 1990s coins that sold for £35 + post not that long ago although spot was lower

When there was a major dip in spot price I was able to buy 60 kooks on TSF for £23-25 + post in sealed rolls

The kilos perhaps you will get £850ish as they have sold here for that price in the past

It's hard to give a definitive price due to how volatile silver is right now. TSF is also a weird place with regards premiums and sticky prices

I've also picked up a bunch of kooks on eBay while spot price has been swinging all over the place for £27-32 inc ship

The later years 2011 onwards don't command enormous premiums unless you are on BBP then they are £50/each

Really IDK you'd just have to list them and find out I guess

Thanks Honest....advice appreciated, and comments noted, i know a fair bit about Kooks, it's the only silver i've ever purchased, and the low mintage and availability (rarely see them in any quantity for sale on TSF)...was a major decider in purchases.... always went with the "Kook, or Brittania, or Eagle"....no brainer.....unless your just interested in the true weight...which i would assume most TSF users aint...

IIRC @ilovesilverireallydo was the one selling cases and rolls at that price (£25 reduced to £23) and perhaps @QuantumStacker was the other one selling rolls. You do occasionally see them in rolls or bulk but it's rare. I will stress though that was at the bottom of the market when spot was at its lowest and nobody was buying. They sat unsold for days before I gave into temptation. What I'm going to do with 20+ coins of the same year IDK but I love kooks and they are my favourite silver coin. You could try seeing the latest sold listings prices on eBay, take off 10%, and maybe that's what they would sell for on TSF

Unfortunately kooks have been flooded in the U.K. they used to command premiums due to the fact they weren’t easy to get and most had to import from Germany or Belgium. 
now they are like any gov issues coin, mostly weight to stack. 

[scouse12345]

Totally disagree....Same as Gov issue coins... your talkin Britt...>?  Eagle...?> you can only flood a maekt with a virtually unlimited mintage......2015 Kook mintage 500,000..... 2015 Eagle...47 Million.....2015 Britt...1 Mil...

Stick them up for sale, see how they go. Whatever price you put up there will be I assume some worth more than others🤔 you’ll never know otherwise…….🤔

Welcome to the forum.

Atkinson's paying the same price for Kooks as Brits. There are some coins they pay premiums for. You might get a quid or two more on here than at the dealers once you've established a reputation 👍🏼

Seriously.... We dont sell to dealers here though do we..... who in thier right mind, would be willing to let thier gold Sovs. or Gold Britts, or any coin come to that matter, go for what a dealer would pay, you'd have to be completely naieve, or short on some mortgage payments....

They're paying £387 at time of my reply for mixed date bullion sovs. Quite a few sovs on here at the moment at 388 390 392.... Multiple sellers.

Who is selling to Atkinson's for £387 at the moment... People who feel that the time and effort of dealing with multiple individuals and listing on here or other places is not worth a couple of quid per coin....

Maybe some who are desperate, maybe some sat deep in the profits, maybe some who just don't know about the forum. 

My point bringing Atkinson's up was to see whether particular years of Kooks were singled out as being higher premiums than others in an effort to help you out.

The sweet spot on here is usually to sell between what a dealer will pay and what dealers or other sellers are selling for. 

Good luck with whatever you choose to do 👍🏼

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.

Kooks are really collectibles like most of Perth Mints offerings (Koalas, WTEs, Emus etc.)  PM do make a bullion coin (Kangaroos), but they don't have a massive amount of traction in stacking circles.  Here in the UK, Brits and sovereigns get some tax advantages due peculiarities of UK tax law that make them exempt from capital gains tax, so they're the go to coins for stacking.  Folks do collect Perth Mint coins, but they're really treated as collectibles here as well.  A lot of folks here will just collect one or two ASEs or Libertads for much the same reason.

Not all Kooks are equal - the earlier ones and low mintage proofs sell for a decent premium - as do Privy issues.

My Favourites however are the high definition Kooks.

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.  ❤️
