Afternoon everyone …..
When I first got back into collecting/stacking I was kinda going a little crazy. Jobs were very profitable and money was rolling in.
My initial thought was to try and buy the coins I had sold years before. But in looking at the prices of those coins over a decade later, that was not really an obtainable proposition.
So instead I went hard on semi numismatic coins and generic silver. I started buying series of coins immediately, since collecting was my first experience. Being a completionist that I am, that meant buying everything offered in that series.
So up until about 2000, I was buying not only one ounce coins of series, but two ounce and ten ounce if they were offered. Most of the ten ounce coins that I had have been sold off, in the last several years to add additional weight to my stack.
The ten ounce kookaburra coins became worth double what I bought them at, so I was selling them and buying as much silver weight as possible with the proceeds.
I’ve come across a few going through boxes from my private security place recently. So I thought I’d share one with you today.
It’s a nearly 30 year old coin. It’s a 1994 ten ounce kookaburra coin. It’s worth roughly $400-$450 from what I’ve seen on sold auction listings. That’s more then double what I paid for it.
