Do these coins have numismatic values?

i see lotsa of kangaroos, kruggerands, maples selling over their spots with gradings, etc.

i guess they would be worth at least 10oz x USD1,000 each? :biggrin:

Even the 1991 proof coin with an extremely low mintage of 124 was selling in 2003 for less than its issued price 12 years earlier. :452:
The 1993 coin with a mintage of only 23 coins, struggled to generate a 10% premium above its issued price more than ten years after it was minted.

Prophet, how many of your friends can afford one?:biggrin:
If 99.9% of the population can't afford to buy your coin; the premium isn't going to be generated.

Below is the valuation history up to the year 2003 in Aussie dollars. Unfortunately I don't have the latest catalogue to give you current prices.
I am guessing approx. $A14,000
