They have a huge premium but some of the Aussie Kangaroo designs are incredible to me. Anyone collect them?

I came close to getting one of the Kangaroo at sunset coins last year, but never pulled the trigger. I do intend on getting one of the gold pieces though, just not sure at which denomination. I personally prefer the Koala and Kook designs though.

I really love some of the older aboriginal designs and the modern sunset designs.

I'm not a series-collector but if I was, the 2nd and 3rd series I'd go to work on (following right behind the Silver Britannias) would be the Aussie Roos and the New Zealand Kiwis.

The uncluttered simplicity and purity of design of many of the Roo and Kiwi coins are among the most aesthetically accomplished designs I've seen on bullion coins.

That's the series I collect

Aussie-Kangaroos?
roos are not in the list because I have only one coin ... may be one day, when I finish at least two of those I've started ...

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who has the different series they are working on in an excel sheet. Here's what part of mine looks like:

Aussie-Kangaroos?

I've picked up a few Kangaroos along the way, but few and far between. I'll get to them one day. . .

I'm no good with Exel but it looks pretty cool.
I love Roos. Bought some bullion at a premium and
a few of these $100+ collector coins. I have the
Kangaroo at Sunset (proof) the nicest of all
but it stashed away for now. In the meantime, I wanted to share these; A piedfort or high relief and a gold plated
