Hi Everyone,

I'm after selling price for a Perth Mint Gold Locket Coin.

I boobed and put it on the Introduction page, and all the photographs show on there.

It's in its original double sided glass frame, and number 483/5000.

Does anyone know anything about these things?

Thanks,

Chris.

Yes. You are now trying to sell it on eBay for US$980 (originally for US$1,177), but is only worth US$500 in proof, which may explain why nobody has bid for it.

This value of US$500 is from the 2008 edition of the Krause catalogue, where it is listed as Cook Islands 397.

The silver version (Cook Islands 396)is worth US$11.50 in proof, only 11% of the original price from the manufacturer.

These are not genuine circulation coins, and not a good investment.

hi BK,
could you perchance have an image from the 2008 catalog showing these coins and the prices? i am curious as to seeing these after participation in this discussion from the beginning. the markdown is quite remarkable and the krause catalog seems to value only the siliver/gold content of the coins and not the jewels. very strange indeed. thanks.

amities,
c
