Who likes Koala’s?

I love perth mint products, as does i am sure most people do. I have been stacking Kookaburra and Koala’s but just really got into it in 2016. I really wanted to do a set of Kookaburra’s but some of the back dates were just too much money. So I got to thinking. Koala’s are really not too old yet and the popularity is really not what the kookaburra is yet. So I decided I was going to work on the Koala set..

The hardest task was going to find the 2008. It had the lowest mintage at 84,057 coins. When I was looking this coin. At the time I found it was cheaper to buy it slabbed as a GEM BU than buying the raw coin. So here it is

Next was I needed to find the 2007 Koala. This is the first year of issue. The mintage is higher then the 2008 with 137,768. So i wanted to find a good deal. And again like the 2008 koala. I found the best deal was to buy it as a slabbed coin. So here it is as a Mint state 69.

The rest was relatively easy to fill in the rest of the set. Over the course of 2017 I was about make youtube trades and find them for good deals on eBay. Below is my entire set..

I do still have to get the 2018, but I will get that one soon enough. I would still like to get the 2007 and 2008 as raw coins for the display box at some point, but they have to come at the right price. Right now I am just happy I have them all and it didn’t cost me too much..

Thank you everyone for checking this out.

I only have a certain quantity of the proof 1oz Koalas of the Berlin Money Fair 2015 and looking for time to flip m or in a give away or alike.

Really nice. I don’t have any proof Koalas. Only a few proof High Relief kooks.. Thank you for stopping by..

@silverwolverine What I need to do if I get the chance this week is get my Full Set of PCGS grade Koala's out of the Safe Deposit and do a post.............

Yeah, That would be cool.. I should do a set of graded Koalas and ungraded..

Nice little collection your getting there dude 👍

Thank you Pit. Much appreciated you stopping by..

My Koala collection is all unslabbed. I bought most of it at ebay. A seller named baxtobax usually auctions the "old" issues.

Thank you. I will check out that eBay site..

yeah I thought about doing a kook set but agree a few of them will be pricey oh well I still got my penny's lol
