    Can someone help me here? As i understand it this coin issued by The Perth Mint has 99.99% silver and according to weight specifications at least a half a gram of 'pure gold' privy insert in it.
    At current price for Bullion content alone 2 oz of silver and a half gram of gold, the bullion content alone is $70 (Gold $25) so these coins on Ebay with starting bids at 99c look good long term collection value. Certificate of authenticity says only 1500 minted Worldwide for each coin making them RARE too.
    i would appreciate any comments from 'learned' numismatists on their thoughts as to long term appreciation.
    i recently purchased the 1994 set of 4 X 2 oz Kookaburras and got them for $90.00 Australian (which i thought cheap, but some $80 odd right now) and they are beautiful to behold.
    Will they go up if silver goes to $30 or $40?? Should i buy more now???

    The second one (2 oz silver kokaburra) is on sale now on Ebay its got the Perth Mint Gold Privy insert-Also a Johanna Privy insert.

    GREAT WAY TO SEARCH iS GOOGLE 'BULLON SUPERMARKET' go to Silver Coins
    then go to 2 ounce silver coins and open links to 2 oz Kookaburras. Some inone year thnk only 100 issued worldwide in Singles.

    Recently sold an Old Captain Morgan, but these coins fade in comparison to Australian 2 ounce silver kookaburras with 'GOLD PRiVY' inserts!! The one on left of this posting is PROOF too !! They come personally boxed with 'individually numberered' Certificates of Authenticity!!
    This stops Chinese Coin Fraudsters as Chinese getting a real bum name in Numismatics and fake Bullion too!!
