2011 Coins In Circulation

I am hanging onto everyone I find but dont think either will appreciate dramatically over the years.

The $2 series is not very popular IMO and therefore I dont think any dates will appreciate much. BU 1993 $2 are still pretty cheap and have a relatively low mintage.

The 10c has a comparable mintage to the 1985 dated coins and again they have not appreciated a huge deal in over 20 years. BU example can still be had for well under $10.

Would also like to add.

The 2011 Mint Set will also be another great collectible. When have we previously had two coins with such low production numbers in a mint set?

I am just wondering whether the mint made an error with realease of the 2011 $2 coin?
2009 was about 65.5m.
2010 at about 36m.
2011 at 1.8m!

Just does not make sense! (To me!)

Ladies and gentlemen I would love to hear your opinions regarding this extremely low production coin!

Many thanks for the welcome The Unicorn.

Time will tell, but I stand by my earlier comments and assure all that no disrespect was intended (or implied).

Would I chase a 93 $2 or 85 $1? No!
If I found one, would I keep it? Yes.

In fact I was aware of the 93, but because I have no interest in 10 cent pieces I was not aware of that.
My interest lies 95% in $1 coins and anything new and rarer in AU decimals.

At 1.8m or under these coins will become highly sought after in the modern collecting environment which is a different world to what it was 20 years ago.

We shall see!

PS 2 more lots of 1000 $2 coins noodled today resulting in another 11 X 2011, 15 X 2012 standards and 12 X Poppies.

Best day ever for noodling these! Total 22 X 2011 for the day!
Will add these to my collection of rolls, bags and loose coins 2011/2012.

There are lower mintage dates than both the 2011 10c and $2 and they are far less common in good condition. If you believe there are more collectors now than the 1980's(i do not) and that those collectors have more access to information (i agree) then it would be reasonable to assume the 2011 coins will be hoarded much quicker than say the 1985 10c and therefore it would also be reasonable to assume they will be in much better condition in general.

I am not doubting that both the 10c and $2 will appreciate much more than decimals of the past 10 years due to the low mintage but I see no reason whatsoever to suggest they will out perform earlier decimals with a similar or much lower mintage.

Why do you think these two coins which have higher mintages than other decimal coins will appreciate beyond other, lower mintage dates? Those older dates which are much harder to find will always be of greater interest than a much more recent issue with a higher mintage which is generally in higher grades.

You seem to have the idea that new collectors are only interested in the most recent issues

Dont get me wrong I am keeping each and every one I find but I would be extremely surprised if theyre worth more than $10 each in the next 5-10 years. Theyre not going to make you rich.

Fair enough but the conversation is about whether or not they will become sought after/valuable. It will be much easier to get nice 2011 10c and $2 than it is to get a similar grade 1985 10c or 1993 $2. That will translate to cost.

Hi Candace.
I am not sure if this is what you mean, but if you are saying "maybe the 2011 50c wont come out", that is incorrect.
I have seen heaps of 2011 50c.

Sorry Candace,
I was not intending to make you feel bad, just make sure you know they are out there.

Sorry ozcoins its not anything you said, I just feel as if I keep making a javascript:insertsmilie('') of myself with the last couple of things iv posted because I'm ether to late "which I tend to be with everything because of everything that goes on here in my bizzy little home" or I thought that I might of been onto something and turns out iv put my foot in it javascript:insertsmilie('') but I spouse its part of learning javascript:insertsmilie('')
