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. 

Good points ET. See my post below.

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.  

Scarcity AND demand LDC

A bit like the AFL saying "limited seats available for the Sun's next match at HBS...get in fast".... but for some reason there's thousands left all going cheap!

No Australian coin large enough for Charley's ears apparently

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!

True but you'd kick yourself if you accidentally stuck it a parking meter.

I've still got about 100 round 50 cent coins tucked away. I believe their silver content was circa 10 bucks last time I checked.

$5 for a $1 coin?  Buck that.

Doesn’t make much cents to me.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I’m pretty sure that’s photoshopped.

Ok you can get all clubs but still. AFL 2023 $1 Melbourne Coin - AFL Collectable Coins (auspost.com.au)

 

 

Awesome, thanks for that. Very I interesting that they are printed with the queen on them.  Could become valuable in years to come!

I don't think these coins will ever be worth much more than the $1 face value but some of the releases have sky rocketed.

This ranks right up there with ‘Is more effective than the cloaca method’ as my favourite random sentence of the week on Demonland.

Thanks HBT. It's certainly an award I like to get my hands on.
