    Worth one dollar but they want $5. They do come in a little presentation pack.

    Given it has Queen Lizzy on the coin, maybe it’s now seen as an antique. Could explain the inflated rate.

    It's not the coin value as the motive for purchase.

    Really some DLErs are off the mark. Historical objects and prices are not judged the same value of the purchase but a potential value or sentimental etc. which is different to different people. 

    Its so basic and critical to expect this novelty coin for a dollar really. If it was a dollar it wouldn't be worth buying!

    Went to the Perth Mint in Summer (Which I highly recommend by the way) and saw the million dollar coin that weighs a tonne and is currently worth around $50 million based on all the gold in it. Amazing stuff.

    Ironically, (if that were true) that would mean that in future, the relative scarcity of the GCS coins would make them worth more than the rest.  

    Or they could go the way of the 1&2c coins and no longer be considered legal tender.

    Why isnt Barrassi or Smith on the flip side . We never learn.

    We’ve made the mistake of not putting their heads on a $1 coin before? I’m guessing because it’s legal tender and also not a decision made by the club.

    Perhaps you should find out rather than allude to the MFC missing an opportunity.

    There quite possibly have not been a choice on the Queen for Clubs in this promotion!!! 

    Perhaps you could ask why isn't it the King also?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
