The Australian Coin Forum

Could the high prices be because of two things:

1. The VC is well known throughout the Commonwealth and many an ex serviceman now resides in Australia and the design is straight out of the manual; and

2. The packaging is well designed and manufactured.

Now, what is the VC coin worth WITHOUT the packaging.

Another relatively cheap issue was the Barcelona $1 coin. It was the same coin that was put into a special packaging to promote "Women In Sport". They sold for a measly amount and now fetch a price of $175.00 plus.

Packaging my dear fellow collectors, packaging.

A large percentage of RAM packaging contains PVC and is detrimental to the coins well being, all the PNC issues come in a PVC envelope

so your choices are ;
1 keep the coin in its original packaging to retain value and eventually ruin the coin.

2 Remove the coin from the packaging and store it in a no PVC environment to preserve the integrity of the coin.

I purchased these coins ages ago and I have had no deterioration of the coins to date by leaving them in their original packaging.

This one arrived today from the RAM, I had forgotten that I had ordered it.
I also have on its way from Downies, another unintentional double up
