Thanks serial, looking at ebay, it seems to be around $7, not much increased value in it.

Sorry, didn't realise you were only after a price so you might want to make that clear next time thanks and save me the time and effort.

No, not specifically the price, i just wanted to know what it was and when i looked it up on the net I was surprised how cheap they were. I am not going to sell it, it stays as part of my collection, only now I know what it is. Thanks for your help.

No wuckers, we're pretty open around here and if you want prices that's cool and easier done but if you want info it takes a bit more and also happy to help where possible :friends: I don't think they'll ever be an expensive piece and pretty easy to get as they aren't silver other wise they would be worth a bit more but I have two in the folders but they're starting to fall apart due to age :(

Their value greatly ranges from loose circulated examples to carded ones like ausjack has shown(thanks for that btw. Nice pics) I also have a silver proof example somewhere that I would need to find to photograph
The time spent taking photos then posting them its not really worth selling them unless you are just willing to help other collectors get them or you don't value your time greatly.

Thanks serial :) Nah that's the other one trout :laugh2: Honestly I can't remember what one you sent and the other come from the markets but one has a high gloss cover and the other is more matt so funny how there's two different types. Think the one at the markets was only a couple of bucks.
