here is a picture of the 1 oz Koala

I took all my Commonwealth games 50c out of their plastic capsules which in turn are housed in the card.  I put them all in 2x2s.  The cards I stacked side by side in a seperate box. I did the same with plastic capsules (although they don't stack well  ).  I bought 20 of each which is my usual habit. 

Muckeye,
It is not that uncommon to find unc 1984 $1 coins.  As I understand it there was a restrike of the 1984 $1 for the 1992 5 coin set.  I don't know how many extra were made (if indeed they were). If that is the case, then they are still 25 years old and therefore unusual .

Did you keep a copy of the serial numbers? Or a photo of the framed article, which might show the serail numbers?  Given that they are going up in value, I would suggest you keep an eye out on ebay and auction catalogues.  I don't know the law in the US, but in Australia you still own the item and claim it back if you happen to see it.  The person who currently has the note/s has to give them back, regardless og how they came about them, legitamately or otherwise.  I don't believe the is a statute of limitations either.

Rusty,
I have nearly all the proofs ready to go. I'm only missing one of the Masterpieces, the Decade Dollar with continuous reeding and the 2003 Fine Silver Set.  I'm glad to here some of the proof cases are easy to get into.  I've been wondering about that.  Did you break open a Smith portfolio to get the large head, or did you manage to get one seperately?

I have no difficulties in taking the fine silver $1 out of the sets. No damage done there.  My major decision (and concern) is whether or not to open the 2006 proof set to get at the 2005 MoR. 

I note you also said there was a proof variety. Which one was that? And how hard was it to get?

Did you think about adding the gold proofs.  I did.......for about 10 seconds. They would add beautiful colouring to the silver and bronze, but the cost!

Rusty,
I am currently setting up a proof and Unc set of $1 coins.  I must admit I got the idea from you.  They look great.  Very welll done.
My Unc set will also include all the portable press $1s, a mule (only EF) and the die varieties (when I get them all).  I still looking for a few.

I used to have one too. Gave it to my wife and she traded it for food. 

The 20 cent piece is also available in the 6 coin unc set.
