Upcoming Release For April 2022
It feels like the last three months have revolved around speculation concerning the Train Coins/Folders. I have to say that while I’m a big fan of them, it’s great that we can move on to other things!
The first interesting aspect of the RAM releases coming in April is the increased number of rolls and ‘c’ mintmark cards.
This is an obvious attempt by The Royal Australian Mint to reduce the secondary market. In my view, this release will see the end of the price gouging on the secondary market in the area.
Everyone will have a chance to get a roll and ‘c’ mintmark, which is the way it should be. it looks like the mint is making a real effort to get rid of the secondary market and I applaud them for it.
I’m happy to sell at RRP if that is the market. However, I can’t justify selling coins to secondary sellers at prices where they make all the profit. The increased mintages ensure that buyers will have increased opportunities to get these items for a fair price, which is really encouraging.
In terms of the Perth Mint, we have some serious gold items. We are unlikely to stock anything besides that 1/4 oz gold proof coin, the 1oz silver proof and perhaps the 5oz Australian Kookaburra. This is all going to be based on what allocations we receive.
