Kookaburra Gold 2020

[Frenchie]

Hello,

This anniversary Kookaburra could be a winner. Mintage 15000, 1/10 oz  gold. I'd be curious to know if this is a one shot or the first in a new serie

Looks nice.  Apmex listed it as available Jan 02.  Apparently it's the same size as the lunar 3 gold.  16.6mm diameter.

I'd love to hear what more folk think of these

I am tempted, especially around the £130 mark they are sitting at currently, they surely must go up once sold out (?)

This is my first time contemplating any sort of gold Kook so would appreciate advice, cheers!

@kimchi  It's THE iconic kook coin, buy it if you like it ,weather it goes up or down in value it's not going to break anyone's bank either way.

These are on Coin Connection site £150.

 

hope this helps

Many thanks, I'd missed that it was the iconic design for long-term Kook collectors (I've only been collecting the last few years, and mainly the more recent ones as the older ones are so expensive) so great point, cheers!

I really like it so am certainly going to try to grab one at least. I don't have much of an idea on the history of the Kook golds, unfortunately - having a browse today I am not much more the wiser. There seem to be a few from down the years, and obviously the 2015 anniversary is a (the?) biggie, but beyond that I'm pretty lost. Any more input much appreciated!

goldsilver.be have them on pre-sale @  €151 (£130) as I write

Hey @kimchi was waiting for you to chip in regarding this coin lol. Fancy it myself to be fair. If the silver version is anything to go by then the quality/strike will be far better than bullion. Almost “proof” like you could say.

There have been other gold kooks in the past. Not many and think most have been smaller than 1/10oz in size 

Either way I’m interested so if you get wind of a Poss group but pls keep me posted 

Cheers buddy

Do you think it's a 'goer' pal? Anniversary, not a bad size for a 1/10th, BUNC (so should be better than bullion, but we all know the Kooks are 'better than bullion' anyway) at 15k mintage, classic design...if the premium is reasonable hard to see what's not to love as a Kook fan who also does fractional gold too, no?

A brief look around today and I've found the P20 20th anniversary set in gold in incredibly tiny sizes (adding up to an ounce overall I think) which seem to have a decent premium, but perhaps not the interest you'd expect from such a boxed set. Also the 2015 which looks very decent to me. Some others which seem to be a bit random and don't really 'fit'. But this one seems a little different, maybe something new, maybe something slightly special (?). I think @motorbikez might be our man there!

I shall certainly be looking to pick up a few hopefully yes! Where are folk going for these? £130 quid from Europe looks like a bargain imho, and our trusted Coin Connection are doing them here in the UK (for more, but for a bit more piece of mind in my book).

@kimchi Yes mate for £130 it’s on a par price wise with a bog standard 1/10 Britannia. Can’t see many downsides really

Plus delivery though.

<edit> Still feel this one is a little cracker and should do quite well if you can get a good price landed. Obviously Kook fans like me would need to keep one for the collection so any bit extra you can make on spares is of course going to help

@kimchi  As before pal it is a nice coin & I'd advise any collectors who like the design to just buy it, don't worry about flipping I don't see it soaring away. Personally I'm not going to buy it as proofs are my thing mainly & I've too many collections on the go. My problem like most collectors is I buy one coin then I feel compelled to complete a set if one starts lol.

Bear in mind Perth mint just love anniversaries & have used this design a number of times & will continue to do so IMHO in the future. Mind you could start a collection of anniversary coins.

Nice looking coin, would like to try and pick one of these up. Be a nice addition to my fractional stuff. Have to have a gander at where to get one, unless anyone can point me in a good direction?! I see goldsilver.be and the Coin Connection have been mentioned so will check there first.

always loved the kook, having it in gold is very tempting!

[silverdocket]

 I pulled the trigger on 10 today...

 For fractional gold I'm happy enough...

 These will be going into my long-term/ retirement Vegas stripper fund

 Expected delivery end of January 

[Tn21]

Nice, just out of interest if you don't mind sharing the total damage compared to say a full Oz gold coin just as a % maybe.

Also was the source GS.be ?

In transparency, I did pick up one. First, and only, Kook...I guess that is redundant as first would be indicative of only, in present tense....question now will be, will I get the Kook bug and want more...more...more Kooks!!!😆
