David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 10/08/2021 03:23 am I knew about the 2012 Red Poppy and the later re-issue (can't remember the date) but had never heard of this one till today. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces73232.html Holy Cow.... These have sold for $700-800 on ebay with current sellers asking $1500+. Puts the 2012 Red Poppy in it's place. Does anyone know what the price was for the initial Westpac carded release?

Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 10/08/2021 03:51 am Not sure about price, but when only 13,500 were minted its bound to be like that. For a comparison, the 2012 Red Poppy was 500k minted and the 2013 Coronation was 1 million, so this is a huge come down. Report this Post to the Staff
jens coins Valued Member Australia 177 Posts	Posted 10/08/2021 04:00 am The $1 poppy coin was released thru the Newscorp newspapers in each state. The $1 poppy coin was free if you subscribed and purchased the whole set. It came out with the 2015 20c ANZAC 20c coin collection and a special album for the set. There was also a set that you could get from the newsagents but never had the special $1 coin as that was for subscription members only. Report this Post to the Staff

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 10/09/2021 03:13 am I thought the price of it had come down in recent years but I remember it being a bit pricy at the time. $1500 is quite a climb though! Report this Post to the Staff
polarboy Valued Member Australia 112 Posts	Posted 10/09/2021 03:32 am I think a lot of collectors ignore it because it was never a circulation coin. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 10/09/2021 05:13 am $700 to $800 each is an awfully big price the pay for an only scarce (not rare), example from a total mintage of 13,500. I would think that for a collector who desperately wants one, $50 would be a fair price to pay. Report this Post to the Staff
