One Ounce Kookaburra Toning

If it is a bullion coin only, good or bad toning will not affect the value; purchase appeal to others may be slightly affected.
A bullion dealer would not worry at all.

I have never seen bad toning on bullion Kooks.

BTW, the most common grade for these should be around MS66 to 69, but MS60's are not valued at much below the MS66 level. Bullion dealers handle these like pieces of silver, (which they are); they don't worry too much if they are knocked into each other, and are just klanked and stacked. They haven't the time to be bothered with protective packaging; that just gets in the way, and makes their business less efficient.
So as a stasher, neither do I.

If they are proof bullion coins, that may be a different matter.

Whenever I am lucky enough to pick up any bullion silver coin at below it's ASW value, (which happens rarely, but it DOES happen), it will just be added to my junk silver stash. Toning, good or bad, is not considered by me, when I pay good money.


So don't worry about the toning.

Airtites are a good idea. I will look into them. I look at this series beyond the bullion price. The earlier years are selling on ebay for a much higher premium over their bullion value. When the spot is $15.50 an ounce some Kooks are selling for $45-50. I have them stored away now, otherwise, I'd attach a picture.

Early Kookaburra releases are very susceptible to toning considering many were released without casing

Many of these were re-minted in later years with a capsule so perhaps if you want a tone free set to seek these out

Having said thatI have also noticed toning on kookaburras that were capsuled up to about 2001
