A little math on the "Kilomasterpiece Sydney Olympic Commemmorative Coin" (The name almost matchs it's size!) One Kilo = 2.2 Pounds x 16 Oz = 35.2 Oz @ about $7.00 American per Oz = $246.00 @ melt!!!What does this big boy sell for considering its limited production?



Issue price for this little "monster" was AUD $855.00...have seen it auction off on ebay around the AUD$900.00 mark. It will cost more if you buy off a dealer if he has it...

Hi Mike....issue price for the Gregorian coin was AUD$332.00...have seen them go in a recent ebay auction for around the AUD$350.00 mark. YEs they are quite scarce and you seldom see them.

Obverse of the Kilomasterpiece

Will take a snap shot of the obverse of the Gregorian coin and post when I get back from work this evening.
Rest in Peace

Thanks lim118! Your photography is stunning. Thanks for pointing out that I was viewing the reverses! The strike quality of these proofs looks top notch. I'll be looking forward to the next picture. Have a good "day" and I'll try and have a good "last night"! Mike
