And I think the date being 11.11.11 will help it. But my concern in buying it, is that the $5 al/br coins never increase in value! What's everyone else doing with this one? Buy or 'meh'? I'm leaning towards 'meh', at $15 I prolly woulda wasted the money on its aesthetic appeal!... ... but then I think... $25... overpriced... maybe lots of people won't buy and it might have long-term value! help me!

This hasn't caught my attention, its unlimited mintage- which means as long as people buy it they will keep making them for the promotional period and its over priced. For $5 less you can get the queens visit -- which was what I was looking at as you can add the circulating $1 CHOGM to it. And royal stuff tends to have its own following of collectors.

CoinManTim Valued Member Australia 318 Posts	Posted 10/10/2011 07:00 am Yes; you're correct Australian Coin, but funnily enough, so does remembering war stuff... victoria cross and vietnam war dollar coins spring to mind as war stuff which has jumped in price! - 1995/2005/2009-2011 Australia Remembers series. ... thinking the mint likes to make war themed coins! The unlimited mintage doesn't throw me on this one because it is so over priced I can't imagine it being a 'hit'. Report this Post to the Staff
the-purple-penny Pillar of the Community Australia 515 Posts	Posted 10/10/2011 07:18 am When I heard of this coin I imagined a scalloped hendecagon (that was my word of the week a few weeks ago) would be much more dramatic once seen than the coin actually looks. I will pass on buying this one. You are right, it has positive that it is military theme but the $5 coins are always duds. What about the 1990 Anzac Simpson and his donkey $5 -dud.
