Hi All,
Was in Canberra on the weekend and I went to have Macca's for lunch (I know, dont bag me) and I got a TV mintmark back as change. It was in pretty good nick. Does anyone have any idea of if it is worth holding (without the cardboard holder) or not?
Thanks.
CM

I saw them in Edlins for $2.75 last Friday, so they can still be purchased at their original price. I always hang on to the nclt that I find. After all, they'll always be worth at least exacly what you paid for them.
I don't think the TV will go up in price for some tim, and yes I would expect them to go up in price quicker if it had the original packaging.

It'll definitely be worth more than face value. How much more, is hard to say. It just hasn't happened enough yet for the market to determine a reliable estimate for this coin. You could make a guesstimate based on a coin in a similar condition from an earlier series, but they're still not given in catalogues - ebay might be the best guide at this stage. I seem to recall hearing a rule-of-thumb figure of one-third of the uncirculated price being quoted before, but it probably still does depend on the amount of "circulation" it's seen. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Thanks for the responses. I will hold on to it as it is only one of 50,000 and who knows what may happen in the future regarding pricing. Its a shame that whoever spent it at Macca's didnt hand over the cardboard holder as well  ........ |

Is it the TV coin with the TV mintmark? I picked up extra folders from the RAM when I was there doing MYO C just because they were there!!!!

Hey I have got TWO in Indiana thanks to my Aussie friends. Not really sure HOW I got into Aussie Dolars, well, perhaps I am as it had something to do with the Mob of Roos and things took off from there! Still working the PROOF Mob of Roos as they are absolutely stunning and during that search a little trading came about and I now have a pretty darn good start on the modern dollars. I am really amazed at the amount of mintmarks available on Aussie coins and the challenge to get them all, especially when you live in the U.S.!!!

Was it the actual 'tv' mint-mark that you saw for sale, or was it the other mint-marks? Because I haven't seen them in any coin stores for less than $10.00 each for the 'tv' mint-mark. |

The actual TV mm is retailing for $10 now but not many dealers have them understandably and thats because some were not alloted any.The other mms are still at issue price

hey people...
The 'TV' mm is actually retailing at $15 now. And all other mm's have actually increased. Retail price is between $5 and $10 depending on which mark.

Hi Nardia.I have noticed the TV dollar mms C S B M are still available at RAM for issue price of $2.75
Does new McDonalds list them at these prices,if so that may be why some dealers have changed their retail price ?

I can't see price of these increasing much above issue price for quite a few years,the TV mintmark itself probably always will be valued more than the others
