2017 Australia 1 oz Silver Kookaburra BU

feel good about this purchase

I was avoiding Kookaburra's and Koala's because they usually command a high premium over spot, but I was lucky to catch in on sale. This Kookaburra doesn't disappoint in person, the amount of detail is incredible. I love how the Perth mint coins come in an airtight. Apmex delivers again with fast shipping and good packaging.

Brillant Lusture. Fine detailing right down to birds feathers. Will buy more of these coins, in different settingsn in the future.

Another perfect condition beautiful coin. Highly recommend five stars. Thanks apmex

Nice that it came in an air-tite capsule, In my opinion, its the est kookburra design to date. Apmex makes it easy peazy!

My first Kook coin, love the design, ordered random year deal today at a excellent price.

These coins have excellent potential. The mintage is well below 1 million, yet they are only a little more expensive than the American Eagles and not that much more than generic rounds. (Which I do recommend starting with if you do not own significant silver.) These Kookaburra coins are around 500,000 mintage per year. There are some examples of coins with similar mintage that are worth a fortune today: The 1909S VDB penny, the 1877 Indian cent, the 1914 D cent, 1931S penny, and many of the Seated Liberty coins we have today. Despite being smaller, they carry higher premiums and similar mintage. I think, once people wake up and realize what a value silver is, these collectible coins will realize similar premiums because people will want them--and they will use generic rounds and high mintage Eagles to spend (along with 90% silver coins). The Kookaburras come with a protective capsule, so if you do not open them, they will remain in uncirculated condition forever. This also makes them a bit bulkier than Eagles and Maple Leafs that come in loose flaps or loose in tubs of 20 or 25. Even the Koala and Kangaroo come in loose flaps (and yes, I also recommend those). Buy these now, and you will not regret it. Just look at the premiums, as modest as they are, in the earlier years of Kookaburras. Just imagine what they will be like in 50 years or so. Plus, you are getting silver for when the dollar becomes toilet paper, something that will be a bargain once that happens (and we get no final warning just before it does).

I always like the design. I continue to collect them.

I especially like the Australian Mint kookabura coins because of the design and limited mintage which make their value to up each year.

This is my first sealed roll kookaburras and I could not be happier. Exactly as advertised with fast secure shipping
