2013 $2 Coronation C Mintmark

Pedro · May 17, 2015, 09:24:42 AM

Looks like the 2013 Canberra mintmarked $2 in the folder has attracted some interest! They were sailing along in the $30+s up until last month and now they have risen markedly.

I have a few of these in my spares locker

Pedro · May 17, 2015, 09:54:27 AM

My wife asked me why I didn't buy 20 of them (as opposed to the 1 I did)!

Thems the breaks.

Yeah I bought 4 of them when they first came out for $12.95 I think it was.Not a bad profit margin

ausjack · May 17, 2015, 07:02:50 PM

yes there's been a few things I wish I bought or bought a few more of but like you said Pedro 'thems the breaks' so we'll have to go rough Uni up and get him to fire his old crystal ball up again

sell, sell, sell now Stevo as ya never know how long the trend will last :winkextra:

just a quick bump of this thread as I want to thank pedro for posting this.
I have several of these that I got a couple of months ago in some bulk lots and I just chucked them in the carded coin pile with all the other nclt just I hoard.
I didn't think they were worth this much and being able to essentially "swap" 4 of them for a pre decimal proof set has been great

Good deal!!

I thought so, they don't really do it for me and to think they are on par with a 2000 Victoria cross $1!!
ridiculous !!!

Well done Serial! A pleasure to have been able to come up with some info that was of use to someone! :ok:

Price shock seems to be over on these for the present but still obtaining around $60.

The coloured $2 shock price was never going to last
Like sportscars when fashionable huge price but when another model arrives the old one depreciates

I think because of the various commemorative $2 coins produced lately the lowly $2 coin has finally become collectable.
this particular "c" mintmark coin wasn't that popular when it was introduced and there is probably not that many out there for new collectors to add to their sets.
Hence the feeding frenzy :ok:

Pedro · May 25, 2015, 07:30:52 AM

Yes, Trout, that was the conclusion that I had come to as well!

Might be worth getting in on the 2014 C mintmark carded $2 before the
price gets too high while the RAM is still selling them for $12.95
