2014 M.O.R Mint and Proof set coins

Yeah I thought the prices were up there what's the mintage?

Sometimes mintage has little to do with the value of a coin.  The mintage for the VC dollar is approaching 100,000 which is actually a lot for a NCLT dollar.  And yet the CV is higher than almost every other NCLT dollar.  The reason is that the VC dollar saw a surge in price on the secondary market immediately after release meaning that people were holding dollars they didn't want to sell cheaply.  Hence the price has remained high despite the fact that the VC dollar is neither scarce or hard to find.

try telling that to some of ebay sellers who claim EVERYTHING is scarce and rare.  By the way, how can 1 coin be scarce and rare at the same time?  I must be a mushroom.

@ lacey
I have bought low mintage $1 coins at bargain basement prices and agree with your thoughts about the high mintage coins , eg Victoria cross and Mary  Killop.
Both of these coins are unexceptional designs and are rather high mintages :angel:

[Goldseeker]

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 :dash1:

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.

[Goldseeker]

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 :dash1:
