Sounds about the normal price I ever saw this one go for. Usually ranged between AU$75 to AU$90 tops. The last coin in the series always seems be the weak one as far as return go and I think something was mentioned once that not all the first 2 were either minted or sold, something like that. This meant there were more of the last coin than there were complete sets that could be made. Please don't quote me on that as I'm going on memory from way back and my memory isn't that good at times  It does give you something to look into in your spare time though |

Well done Those figure were quoted from McDonalds 12th Edition Which is a popular guide to the value of Aussie coins and banknotes. I repeat guide. I'm sure the Bigfella could organise you a copy. 13th Edition is the latest. Some items go for much less than the guide and some go for more on ebay and other auction houses. Really glad to hear your getting into Aussie coins. Good Luck Edited by King Coing

they are a very good guide to own , but it might pay to buy a few back issues just as a reference to see the price movement of coins over a 10 or 15 year period |
