Coloured $2 Circulating Coin (CLOSED)

[robbiegal]

that seller has another one up
must admit that I expected a few up last night but didn't see any from the regular mint 1st day of issue peddlers (myself included!! h aha)

[Coins from Vending]

I am expecting these to sell for about $25, however the poppy coin sells for about $12 and only 500K of them were released, these purple ppl eaters have 2 mill issued?? maybe more collectable as it is another first, good to see the parliament house 25th anniversary triangular coin I bought for $85 is now selling for over $250.

Wonder what the 2 coin black caviar coin is going to sell on ebay for???

Some one else setting the ebay price.

$8 with freepost. You buy one it won't look like that image!

I paid $18 for 5 and that is more than enough for me to have.
However IF I do find any in circulation I will be keeping them :ok:

Amazing how fast the roller coaster seems to move....$23, $8,

I'm not sure whether the RAMs "sometimes upheld" policy of restrictive purchasing is a good thing or a bad thing...seems that people will find a way to work around it.

On the PCGS impact on prices, agreed it is going to have a big impact on the cost of collecting. No longer can you look for the dealer at the coin fair with the poorest eye sight and buy their F grade coins which are actually closer to EF.....not that I've ever done that, of course.

the mint might package/sell bulk for the dealers?
that seller is a dealer - we had dealing with him years ago and he was a horribly rude person to deal with so we have never ever gone back - the coin was damaged and he was abusive telling us how much he'd lost on post etc etc for the sale

I think the ram does that - which takes a lot of the fun out of it for the little guys!

ho hum

I was pondering this morning. ANYONE actually getting this in change, what are the chances they'll actually pass it on and spend it? I think the changes are slim to nothing.

I think they will end up like the 1927 florins
in nana's sock draw

I think it'll end up like the Captain Cook 50c.  Hoarded by every man and his dog thinking it'll be worth a bundle.  In 30 years it'll be worth.....$2 and they'll start re-appearing in change in good condition as those old money boxes are emptied out.

I totally agree.

I almost had a run in with him as well, but came to my senses after checking back through some of his completed sales, such as flogging 'Mule Like $2' coins that were very slightly off centre for up to $70.  He uses 2 eBay ID's and I will never ever buy from either. :dodgy: :dodgy:

I did buy from tonyozcan cos it was cheap, but it smelled like smoke

Oh, I dunno... Same mintage as fed state coins, and what are they going for?
