NCLT Winners

[trout]

Bit of a fan of some of the gold coin designs

I recently had eight of the Gold 1/10th oz coins graded and they look great in with my 25mm Silver proofs that are in a couple of slab albums.
Most of these I managed to buy at considerably less that the issue price so they can't be considered as a Grannybait "winners" But I like them regardless

Although not an official coin the Swan/Goose dollar meets all the criteria for grannybait in Spades.
With an issue price of $13.50 these are now valued at $1500+
The 2008 Saint Mary Mackillop ali bronze Dollar is another quiet achiever :good:

They were never granny bait as rhey were made in small montages for club members

I've gone through some of Eric's old coin magazines, and if you picked any of these up in the 80's you wouldn't be any better off, you would probably struggle to make your money back on them (and if you take inflation since then into it, you'd have made a loss)

ALL the Proof sets from the eighties had Huge Mintages.
From 1966-1974 the mintages were quite small 10.000ish and from 1975-1979 the mintages ranged from 55,006 in 1977 and 21,200 in 1976.
In the Eighties the mintages ranged fro 60,000 odd to over 100,000.
This would account for them being  low value sets.

Sorry, my comment was in reference to the 1966 proof set, not the ones from the 80s. If I recall they were selling for $400 or so even back then.

I think it would be extremely "tough" to find a Good set now for $400.
Most of the sets now suffer from various issues due to the set being kept in that disastrous blue box and this makes it very hard to find pristine coins now :ok:

Although strictly not NCLT,  during the 2000's I went through a spate of relatives' weddings of the next generation down - nephews, nieces etc.

For each of them I gave them a wedding proof set.   In every case the wedding sets have doubled in value and in some cases, especially now that NGC recognises them as SP, they have tripled in value.

Similarly now with children arriving, baby proof sets have turned out to be similarly increasing in value, particularly the earlier ones with the Gumnut or Koala themes.

Certainly better presents than kitchen appliances or silver spoons or tankards!

Although strictly not NCLT

The Wedding Sets are definitely NCLT, Just the same as a Proof set for the same year would be and yes the original format sets before they were produced in Proof format have doubled their value.
However as they are the ONLY way to obtain circulation design Specimen coins for the years 2002-2009 I think that they are very much a "Sleeper" because the Majority of collectors have absolutely NO idea Yet that these coins are indeed Different and in decimal terms are a tiny mintage as well.
It will be interesting to see how these perform in the future :ok:

Another one is the Army Chaplains PNC.

Strictly not a NCLT but still selling many many times of issue price.

[LooseChange]

Is that the 2013 20 c?

[SULLA]

Woolworths Olympic coins.

NCLT Winners?

[Goldseeker]

Is that the 2013 20 c?

I believe it is.   It was a NCLT issue.

They are a very exclusive PNC not many on secondary market very expensive :wavemulticolor:

Keep them coming guys, Most of My Grannybait coins are Not "Winners" But it is assuring that it is Not all Doom and Gloom where NCLT coins are concerned :yahoo:

The "In come the Dollars/Cents" sets were winners even before they were issued

[r9453]

How about 1997 $1 Kingsford-Smith (Large) Combined NPA/RAM issue with $20 note - Mintage 2,480?
Or

2000   $1 Last Anzacs PNC, same as the 1999 coin but dated 2000 - Mintage 47,830.
These are all still on my want list from when I gave up on collecting decimals.

2007   1 Ounce Silver Kangaroo Rolf Harris   
2008   1 Ounce Silver Kangaroo Reg Mombassa   
2009   1 Ounce Silver Kangaroo Ken Done

That is probably the most expensive 25mm silver proof that I added to my PCGS set registry besides the ones I had to buy the various Silver proof sets for and I bought 2 of them to pick the best one out.
They were both much of a muchness and the one I sent in for grading came back PR68DCAM which is not fantastic But acceptable
