“Now the sets are being valued at $6,000. “It's purely down for people's attraction to the $2 Mars coin. To see its value increase nearly 30 fold in five years is beyond ridiculous.”
In a recent video, he revealed the 2012 Red Poppy coin and the 2013 Purple Coronation coin were now fetching a combined price of up to $550.
“It has a lower mintage than the most valuable coloured $2 coin, the Mars $2 coin from the 2018 Planetary Series collection, which is currently valued at around $4,000.”
These coins are high-mintage items. The HH on them does not make them a rarity and between them, nearly 200 million examples were produced between 1988 and 1989. It is amazing that people still think these coins are valuable and this is the result of some articles that have been published that are absolute nonsense.
“Coins made in 1988 and 1989 with 'HH' on them are only worth $2,” he said in the video. “As there were 198 million of these minted.”
And the purple 60-year coronation coin from 2013 has jumped up in value to between $75 and $180. Both coins have been in circulation for several years now, but their unusual design and their low mintage numbers have made them very collectible.
A money expert has revealed a tiny detail on a gold $2 coin dating back 10 years that can be worth a fortune today. Commerce teacher Joel Kandiah, otherwise known as The History of Money on TikTok, said a 2012 gold coin featuring a red poppy can be worth as much as $180.
If you've got an interesting-looking $2 coin with a red centre lying around, hang onto it – or sell it for $200. Joey Kandiah, a Perth-based teacher behind popular TikTok account The History of Money, has revealed the existence of the “rarest circulating” $2 coin that could be worth 100 times its value.
The Royal Mint is set to release a 10th anniversary edition of the 2012 red poppy $2 coin , known as the remembrance coin. The updated coin will be sold for $15, but its value could skyrocket. Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II , the coin reached a peak of $400.
'It's purely down for people's attraction to the $2 Mars coin. To see its value increase nearly 30-fold in five years is beyond ridiculous,' Mr Kandiah said.
Your Lincoln penny could be worth $300,000 – the exact date for a 'holy grail' find. A PENNY worth six figures has been found on a deceased grandmother's property, and there are specific elements to keep in mind to spot it.
Australia's rarest one dollar coin is the 2000 $1/10c mule - this is the one to look for! A few years ago, a mint condition example sold at auction for more than $10,000.
Although the 2014 $1 WWI Centenary Unc will be issued for circulation, this is an irresistible opportunity to keep your collection complete in strictly Uncirculated condition. Better yet, this key type can be yours at a mere A$6.95 apiece!
A list of valuable 50c Australian coins is fairly short - most are only worth their face value unless they are in premium grade. One of the first 50 cent piece designs that many people notice in their change are the fifty cent coins struck for the Centenary of Federation - there is one for each state and territory.
The 1966 wavy baseline 20c is still the most sought after rare Australian 20c coin.
At the time of writing, one of the 60,000 uncirculated coins was selling for as high as A$36 – but that's not the only sting in the tail of this commemorative release.
The original red poppy coins were released in 2012, Mr Kandiah said, and had a mintage of 503,000 – 40,902 of which were C-mintmarked. In 2018, for the 30th anniversary of the $2 coin set, another version was released with a mintage of 30,000, he said.
Unfortunately, a very common mistake is that people think that all 2p coins are valuable. The fact is that only the error issue 1983 coins and 1971 coins are the ones that can fetch you some money. In most cases, the estimated value is around $600.
1930 Proof Penny
This humble proof penny is the most valuable copper coin on the planet. It was one of only six proof coins to be struck at the Melbourne Mint. Three are in museums, leaving only three available to private collectors. And this particular coin is considered the best of the bunch.
Adding these circulating figures to the 2018 - 2019 RAM Annual Report, it can be concluded that a total of 5'400'000 of the coins were produced.
