if the brown snake is complete with box and COA, that would be a fantastic buy!

Capsules can be replaced with 80c airtites but would it take a premium off because it is not the original capsule? I have to see the coin in hand to judge that.

They were selling them at their bullion price. The brown snake is the coloured one from 2009. Same as this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2009-Discov...t_4230wt_689
The capsule has some friction scratches on it though. They threw out the mint packaging unfortunately. The scratching is definately on the capsule not the coin so I might get them and replace the capsule.

I can get you the brown snake if you want erkle. It probably wont be till next week I go back to town. You might want a new capsule for it though?

If you can get an extra one ounce roo at sunset at that price from him, I will gladly reimburse you cost plus markup plus shipping. I have been lusting after one of these since I first saw a picture.

If the scratches are only light surface scratches try using normal car cut & polish to remove them.

Read about it here http://www.australian-threepence.com/blog/tpgs/
If you want to retain the original case this might be worth a try.

a friend who has used epoxy resins thinks the scartches can be filled and then rebuffed to get the clearness, he just isn't sure what the new resin would do to the old case, ie if it would melt it or react wrongly. but I'm not scratching one to let him try lol

I love the look of this coin - off to check ebay. I've bought several kooks for $42 - 45 in the states. I have 1991, 1996 and 2012. I want to get the whole set and would like to get some of the roos too. Is ebay and the secondary market the only ways to purchase these in the states?

ebay has to many fakes for me, try trading with Australian people that stack silver. I do, the kooks are a great design, I also love the Canadian wildlife series, although I don't have any, looks like I need to go get a few :D

How can you tell if a roo is fake? I ordered one that was in Poland. Should I be worried?

I finally have 50+ posts and can buy on this site. I would love to be able to buy kooks and the roo at sunset. If anyone has coins they are selling or want to trade please let me know.

I have one of these and they are a great looking coin.
My favorite 1 dollar coin however is the 2008 Coat of arms coin
