markn Pillar of the Community Australia 1295 Posts	Posted 12/09/2010 06:07 am $1500-2000. Last one I was aware of selling was at Brisbane ANDA last year, it sold for $1500. There was another one that appeared a few times on ebay last year but kept getting pulled a day or so before the auction completed. One of the (if not the) hardest decimal collectables to get your hands on. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16808 Posts	Posted 12/29/2010 09:46 am We had one surface right here on the forum a couple of years ago; it ended up selling for $1800 in 2008. See this old thread.

johnsopet Valued Member Australia 153 Posts	Posted 01/04/2011 08:21 am All of the early unc RAM wallets did little to protect the coins and the PVC content sweated the coins and tarnished them Decimal coins before 1984 are best off bought individually from rolls not mint sets unless the coins from wallets at the time of issue were stored out of the wallet professionaly in the days of very few alternatives,true specimens as such hard to find now in perfect brilliant unc Report this Post to the Staff
the-purple-penny Pillar of the Community Australia 515 Posts	Posted 01/04/2011 8:55 pm Good point Johnsopet, I agree the PVC degrades and oozes chemicals and green slime over the coins and they end up useless and damaged. I wouldn't however pass by a fastbuck wallet if one were offered to me, but would remove the coins, replace them and store them far far away from the wallet. Report this Post to the Staff
johnsopet Valued Member Australia 153 Posts	Posted 01/05/2011 06:23 am All 1966 wallets are very collectable thats for sure Its a real pity it took till 1984 for the mintsets to have a decent protective type packaging,it wasn't until 1986 until the plastic was sorted (some yellowing but coins ok) and all good from then Report this Post to the Staff
