So just found out that detectives have charged a man for allegedly stealing over $600,000 worth of limited edition Bluey coins from a Sydney warehouse. 👮♂️🕵️♂️
Very strange that the coins are for sale so soon . No wonder its so hard for me to get coins at release time as others seem to get them weeks early. Not happy.
The silver versions will be 11.66 grams. Coin will be the same size of a dollar coin. Just over 1/3 ounce. Weight, size and thickness are listed on the sheet.
I understand your point. But I also think this is great to get kids into coin collecting. If the next generation doesn’t get into it, the hobby will disappear. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Dan
@DantheCollectingMan I have given my entire coin collection to my grandson for him to continue to collect but I have never seen one with a cartoon character on it only historical figures who are recognised for their achievements 😃.
they are only worth $1 just be patient , the resellers that are selling them early are obviously mint workers who else would have access over a month out from release
It is would be surprised if the mint works are allowed to get them early? The ones I bought were from Queensland. So might be people working for Bluey?
I kinda wish governments around the world change to legal tender coins & notes centering around cartoon characters. It will certainly bring a little joy in today's messed-up world (inflation/falling economies/war)
I really like stuff aimed at younger collectors. I hope at least some of these end up in the hands of kids, hopefully with an interested adult around to explain to them about coin collecting. Probably not, but hey, I’m an optimist 🙂
I totally agree with you, my daughter loves the Bluey coins. She loves the collection I’m getting for her. Hopefully the mintage is high enough to for collectors and kids. Thanks Dan
I'm not sure Bluey coins (UNC and for circulation) will maintain their high value in the future. It's popular now as the show is popular. Once the show ends (whether tomorrow or in 5 or 10 years), hype will drop significantly, and I expect that prices will do the same. It'll always have some premium due to nostalgia, but I don't think it'll last. Happy to be proved wrong, however that's always been my experience and observations regarding television and film related collectables.
@@DantheCollectingMan it is fun to collect things during a subject’s heyday. And I wholly encourage anyone to collect whatever brings them joy. I think the caveat is that our generation were encouraged to hold onto things because they could be worth a lot of money one day. Some thing have, but 98% hasn’t. The Simpsons, I think, are the outliers for commercial longevity and have passed their best-before date. The Simpsons today is a shadow of its mid-late 90’s peak. I think Thomas the Tank Engine is a better fit to Bluey. You can still get Thomas things today, but it’s nothing like it’s peak in the late 80’s and 90’s thanks to the tv show - despite the actual source material being 80 years old next year (bring on a Thomas coin!!).
I think the difference this time is Bluey is exploding in American! If it really takes off over there it will be around for a while. And also adults love the show as well. Just like the Simpsons. Time will only tell. Thank for your input. Dan
