2014 Aussie Crocodile $1

[Goose]

Drove 285 km (170 miles) round trip today to attend a coin show. I picked up the 2014 silver Australian $1 Saltwater Crocodile coin....to me a beautiful coin. I paid $24 (U S) for it. Is that an average price for that coin? I see some on U S eBay at a starting bid of $22 U S.

Yes, that's the coin. It's 40.6 mm dia. which is a larger dia. than our old silver dollars at 38.1 dia. I also noticed that there are 6 horizontal indentations equally spaced at 60 degrees on the reeded edge. Was this due to the minting process?

yep - reckon so - it is BU so more likely to have that edge (I guess)
