Silver Dollars

Affectionaly known as "Smithy" this was issued in honour of Sir Kingsford Smith..the pioneer of Australian Aviation. Mintage of 20,000 with the small head and interrupted reeding was strucked in 1997. BV for this issue is AUD$65.00.

Another 4,000 Silver Proof with the Big Head and continous reeding was minted for a joint issue between the RAM and NPA (Note Printing Australia). This is one dollar coin that is missing in many dollar collections.

HMAS Sydney II was issued in 2000 with a mintage of 20,000. Issue price was AUD32.00 and current BV is AUD65.00

you should show the whole folder lim as I think it is the best NPA / RAM joint issue ever made

grossy under valued is a huge understatment lim this folder with a mintage of 4000 should be at least double the price

So how undervalued is this coin? If there are NONE on the market that can play into value as well! Seems to me if they are offered up for sale now and then that tends to drive prices but when a coin absolutely disappears into the hands of private collectors where they are basically GONE they then become "out of sight, out of mind" and the prices can remain stagnant as the world loses interest pretty quickly when NONE is available! Hope you see my point. If there was never really a big fight to get one of these coins then the market would remain non-existant in a sense? None the less, what is this limited issue worth today and do they ever really come on the market! Any coin with such a low mintage should be represented in the U.S (Indiana)!
Lim18 you should go to Downies.com and do a Liberia search for the 50mm "tiffany glass" coin. Just look at that and tell me what you think. Absolutely beautiful, but not really a coin? But, with an issue of 999 world wide it is going to be very scarce in the future but will it have a demand? Yes, I bought one!

i think NPA not making any more folders has killed the market a little bit but the silver dollar coin with a mintage of 4000 should be worth 5 times what the other kingsfordsmith silver proof is worth ($70) and that is not even counting the $20 dollar note , so lim is about spot on with his assesment

book value on that prefix note os around 80 dollars but the overprint has to be worth at least another 50 , so the note is around$ 130 and the coin around 300 dollars plus so your assesment of 400 to 500 dollars lim is very valid and accurate in my opinion anyway

i have 4 lim so I will leave it for someone else
