1oz Australian Kookaburra - foreigners heard of them? I am getting a good deal on 1oz silver kookaburras. (working to 3c under spot per coin, up to 20) I know everyone has heard of Australian Gold Nugger/Kangaroo series. Just wondering if these coins are worth scooping up. I do not want something just for the silver content, but also something that is widely recognised and respected and tradeable. Can I have your feedback please. Thanks

If it says .999 on it, it is recognizable and tradable these days. However, Roo's are considered a premium like eagles, maples and panda's. They are rarer in North America, but recognized. If it is a deal, and you are in the market, buy em.

Re: 1oz Australian Kookaburra - foreigners heard of them? oh ****! Buy 10,000 of them!!!! Kooka's are beauties. they routinely trade 40-80%+ over spot on ebay, just because ...well, when you've got one in your palm you'll see,( errm, as the actress said to the bishop.)

Re: 1oz Australian Kookaburra - foreigners heard of them? Have foreigners heard of them? Just who is a foreigner, are you Australian? If so, I'm foreign (I like the sound of that, sounds exotic) and I have definitely heard of Kookaburras and have a number, along with a bunch of other products of the superb Perth Mint. I bought a gold Lunar 2002 Horse recently, which was a mistake because I now lust for more of the series (including my birth year, rat, go figure). The silver Australian Lunars are as nice as it's possible for a silver coin to be, passing many of the Pandas in my opinon.
