Definitely not a proof the finish on the kangaroo is not consistent with other proofs of the year. Also some facts according to Sterling and Currency no more than 12 were minted 8 of which were distributed to collections of those 6 different ones have been sighted at auction since 1993. Link:

Nah that's fine and I saw that coin that was one of the four not released to the public so there is at least that one at the Museum another at the National Collection and two more kept at the RAM most likely. Anyway note the finish of the kangaroo on the link I posted before. Anyway Welcome to CCF

Its not a proof but seems to have a bit of lustre and is better than the average coin. Not worth heaps though. Maybe $20-30
