Firstly, welcome aboard! Do tell us a bit about yourself if you wish. We don't bite.

I'd put the eventual value of these up in the ten dollar range, because I think they will wear terribly. Quite apart from people dipping them in acetone, just general wear and tear will ruin them in no time. Plus, they have piqued non-collectors' interest, and are being hoarded as soon as they surface. This should make them tough to find after the initial release phase is complete.

I'm certainly keeping all I find, and would only contemplate sales if I scored a full sack of them, which is unlikely. My haul to date is 15 in RAM bags, 5 UNC and 3 circulated, from over 20,000 coins.

You did ask, I did it and NOW you are bitching ?
Most of these coins will be hoarded much like the Cook specimens and the 27 florins , the only difference is the cook specimen coins are actually a lower mintage than both of these coins  and still regarded as junk coins by many :angel:

[robbiegal]

did it come off with acetone?

I have a bottle here if you need more ha ha

[runway]

Why try to sell them Nikolce92 they will cost face value to even list on ebay I would tend to just keep them

I now know where to find mint coin uncirculated coin, Yesterday I got a $2000 bag of 2s and in the 40 individual bags were anywhere between 5-11 purple coins, I know have near on 400 of them, I got that many that when I told my fater about it he asked if I could spare him some, I gave him 100.

Now where is this coin you ask.

OK Find a CBA branch that has its own customer operated coin counting machine, all the coin that comes in through it gets bagged and cleared, they order in all of their coin requirements, The teller I spoke told me that all of there coin is brand new.

So on Monday I am going back for a bag of hopefully 2013 50c bits
Keep these purple ones, I reckon they'll be worth $20+ in a few years time???

I don't think they'll go that high but who knows.

With a mintage of 2,000,000 I doubt it, look at the Captain Cook specimen coins in the plastic boxes mintage of only 556,888 that are still available at about $5.
Although one of these did sell at auction for over $1000 for some unknown reason :ok:

My local cba only gets new coins once a year.  The rest come from the self service machine.
So far I have only found 2 from change.
