    $11 or $140.

    I like $140 more ;)

    • fuzor on 18/08/2020 - 10:48

      You're paying $140 for Aussie designers working on a limited release and the mint to make them in colour and packaged.

      I did buy this at release from Qantas (lucky as I only bought one) but they have been a massive dog. I reckon the mint or Qantas, one of them got greedy and priced it too high and why almost a year later, they still cannot clear the stock.

      • Orico on 18/08/2020 - 10:55

        I still think $140 looks nicer on my shelf.

        Qantas probs. Bastard Mint Machine in Canberra took $3 from me and gave me $1 with some fancy design.

        • fuzor on 18/08/2020 - 21:57

          I fell for that machine too lol. I reckon every person thats dedicated enough to go inside would have given that machine $3 for $1 coin

        I don't think the price was the issue as they usually price $1 carded coins at $15 so $165 and $15 for the box. I think the problem was the mintage at 40,000 units.

        • 4foxache on 18/08/2020 - 13:06
          +1

          And therein lies the problem with a mintage that high unlikely to get much appreciation in value.

      • alvian on 18/08/2020 - 11:18
        +1

        It is quite high priced for a set of uncirculated coins. Unc don't usually hold or appreciate their values.

        • AssociatedTrueno @ Mint Coin Shop on 18/08/2020 - 11:26

          True, it really depends on the subject and mintage when it comes to uncirculated coins and value.

      • AustriaBargain on 18/08/2020 - 14:04

        How much for the 11 coins without the packaging?

    Coin that may potentially be in remembrance of the airline.

    Lots of airlines going bust in the coming years.

          No one wants to see Qantas in that situation, be it any business. I've got friends who work for airlines and some of them still have jobs others don't or have been stood down with no idea when they'll be able to work again. It's really tough for them.

        If this was made of gold expect to pay close to $10,000!

        These are uncirculated collectors coins and are highly collectible.

        One of the new release Banjo sets went off in the secondary market selling for 3-4 times the original price in a matter of days.

        Some people collect these as a long term investment, a love for the subject or are just coin collectors.

        • Sporange on 18/08/2020 - 13:47

          lol anything can be "highly collectible". The monetary value assigned to a collection is based on what OTHER people would pay for it.
          Clearly atm no one will even buy their old stock which is why they're being discounted right now.

        • 1st-Amendment on 18/08/2020 - 16:30

          I never understood the idea behind purposely designed collector item trinkets like this. The whole idea of a collectable is it's a regular thing that was used for a regular purpose, then through some event or length of time becomes rare and therefore valuable.
          But collectable coins are all collected, so they never become rarer than day 1 because they'll all sitting in a collection somewhere. Every single one of them.
          If it were gold then you have the bonus of increasing metal prices, but copper and nickel? You'd actually be better off collecting US Nickels. There's currently 4.2 US cents worth of metal in a 5 US cent coin. Commodity prices only have to jump another 20% (already increased 20% this year) and that's free money :)

          • andione1983 on 19/08/2020 - 07:35

            @1st-Amendment: Haven't you heard of supply /demand. If everyone has them stashed away, and everyone still wants that coin/set/ etc its going to push the price up. You just have to look at the $2 market. Some of the prices are insane.

            • 1st-Amendment on 19/08/2020 - 14:21

              @andione1983: I just don't get why there is demand? If you want a 'collectable coin' just wait for the next batch. 'Collectable coins' are literally being made every day, the thing that normally creates demand is that that thing is no longer made (or has some element to it that is no longer made), hence reduced supply.

      • fuzor on 18/08/2020 - 10:53

        Haha this is only in theory. When I was in retail, lot of adults were spending the proof dollars as regular $1 coins. I gave a couple of the ones i got to the bossman. He could not have cared less if he tried.

      • AustriaBargain on 19/08/2020 - 05:35

        I think it's nicer to put them in circulation than to keep them hidden away in your home until you die. You know kids love it when they randomly get special coins in circulation. If only the Australian Mint were a genuine charity in the first place…

    • Tony-Abbott on 18/08/2020 - 10:53

      Umm collectibles like stamps, surely your are just being obtuse…

      • Sir Flabo on 18/08/2020 - 12:00

        No, it was a genuine question as someone that isn't involved in this hobby. I had a stamp collection as a kid and thought that it only had value once they were out of circulation - hence the question about why it's worth so much at RRP. The old olympic coins being sold for $10 that had a monetary value of $5 made sense to me but I didn't understand why these at $11 were worth $140 RRP. Clearly they're readily available as they're on sale so I was wondering why people thought they were rare enough to justify a 12x increase in price?

    I have a very decent coin collection, but have finally gone sour on the RAM.

    They are just pumping crap out, and itā€™s only my obsessive compulsive disorder which forces me to keep buying. Earlier this year I stopped reading coin forums and their quarterly release magazine, and I couldnā€™t be happier.

    Iā€™ve got Olympic and Paralympic coin sets which havenā€™t appreciated, and can still be found in secondary markets at original issue price. Seriously, itā€™s the only Olympic branded gear which doesnā€™t appreciate in value.

    Yes I paid $180 for this Qantas set. That was a great investment.

    I do (did?) love coin collecting … but my happiest times were 20 years ago when I worked in retail and got to inspect the coins in the float.

    Edit: God damn you trueno. Iā€™m back in. do you have any 3 coin Banjo packs?

    • abc on 18/08/2020 - 11:50
      +1

      The 2020 series non precious metal coins seem to have a good value appreciation as maybe there is a speculation of low mintages given the reduced operating capacity of the mint. Also there isnā€™t as many issues (so far) in 2020. That might change last quarter however.

      Also remember there is the 2019/2020 IWB/JC changeover and most of the coins that were part of a coin swap event have gone cray because you can no longer obtain those coins in circulation.

    • seedyrom on 18/08/2020 - 11:59
      +1

      Oh, just because I want to air my grievances. I hate the change to the RAMā€™s eShop interface.

      The old version was so much easier to log in periodically and see all the new releases since you last purchased.

      Now it is ā€œhere is the most recent 4 coins released … looking for anything else? Go searching and hope you donā€™t buy duplicatesā€.

      I wonder how long coins will hold value. We are headed into a cashless world. Soon These metals disks will be like holding onto beads which American Indians valued highly.

      • abc on 18/08/2020 - 13:05
