2016 sets

I did manage to get 2 of the open day and 4 standard issue Gold plated 50 cent coins before the prices went stupid.
They are a nice enough coin but I think when the "Hoo Ha" subsides with these the Silver coin in the here come the dollars/cents sets will be the "Prize" coin

The RAM Changeover Tent in Melbourne yesterday and one could buy as many as you liked over the counter at issue price.   No limit.

Are we talking about the gold plated 50c here Goldie?

[jens coins]

Yes you could buy  the gold 50c standard release ( NOT OPEN DAY )
for $20 each. ( No limit)
It looked like they had plenty

I am surprised that the in come the dollars/cents sets haven't sold out at RAM yet.
With a mintage of only 10,000 and this is the only way to get one of the 2016 Silver round 50 cent coins and the other denomination coins with the standard designs plus the 1 and 2 cent coins I thought that this particular set would be a sell out.

I agree - I thought it was a well-priced set, besides the fact it's quite nice.

Maybe we collectors are the only ones aware of the significance of the coins.

This is a good thing as it allows the collectors that haven't  got one of these sets yet to be able to buy them without the added "vigorish" that comes from having to buy them on the secondary market :good:

The changeover sets were selling quite nicely at the changeover tour here in Melbourne on Thursday.

The in come the dollars/cents sets are now sold out at RAM and selling for $90-$100 a set on eBay

I'm glad I bought a couple before they sold out and the price spiked. I guess it will only go up from there now.

I guess my six sets are pretty safe for a reasonable profit then?

At $66 a set these were an absolute bargain to begin with as they are beautifully produced high quality coins and they are packaged rather well also :good:

I would think that this particular set will be as sought after as the 1966 proof set in a few years time and they have almost half the mintage as the 1966 set :ok:

I think you made a wise investment with your 6 sets purchase Goldie, Well done Mate :yahoo:

[Cougar]

I'm just glad I was able to secure a few for myself and the kids. I wasn't originally going to purchase any but after listening to Trout, It was a smart move. They are very nice indeed.
