I bought the 2004 then. these bullion dollar become my favorite Bullion coin to collect. I have the whole set in with cards. These are the UNC ones not proof I have 2004-2008 I need to take new picture of them soon.
I have two qustian. I have been looking on ebay and see the 2004 listed very high in price I got it for around 30 so I wanted to know if anyone knows the price of each one of the coins. also does anyone know the true number minted of each year 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 if anyone know this it I would like to know thank you Title: Re: New Zealand Kiwi Silver Dollar Questian Post by: Tobyle on October 21, 2008, 08:28:33 AM According to the 2007 NZ Catalogue .....
2004 - Original Mintage 10,000, but actual mintage was estimated as 2,500 2005 - Original Mintage 10,00, but actual mintage was estimated as 4,000 2006 - 5,000 (doesn't give actual mintage) I'll hopefully be getting hold of the new catalogue soon, so will give you an update then Title: Re: New Zealand Kiwi Silver Dollar Questian Post by: justabeginner on October 21, 2008, 10:07:05 AM Has 2004 got something to do with the coinage change? Maybe... I don't know.. :)
Title: Re: New Zealand Kiwi Silver Dollar Questian Post by: Tobyle on October 21, 2008, 12:25:31 PM No, the coin changeover in NZ was in 2006. It may be that the final mintage was actually much lower than the original estimate.
Title: Re: New Zealand Kiwi Silver Dollar Questian Post by: Nevol on October 21, 2008, 07:44:20 PM In the 2008 NZ Catalogue, this is what I can find:
2004 Little Spotted Kiwi 10,000 (est 2,500) - .999 Silver (1oz) Unc $200 2005 Rowi (Kiwi) 10,000 (est 4000) - .999 Silver (1oz) Unc $125 2006 North Island Brown Kiwi 3000 - .999 Silver (1oz) Unc $150 2007 Great Spotted Kiwi 5000 (4401) .999 Silver (1oz) Unc $100 2008 Haast ToKoeka 8000.999 Silver (1oz) Unc $55 I think when there are separate mintage figures in brackets, these might be for coins that were intended for sale only in NZ. There is an * beside each of the above entries and the footnote reads: *NoteThe rise in the price of coins from the Kiwi themed series 2004-2007 is a recent phenomenom driven largely by interest from outside New Zealand.

Title: Re: New Zealand Kiwi Silver Dollar Questian Post by: Tobyle on October 23, 2008, 06:06:22 AM Here is a quote taken from page 4 of the 2007 NZ Coin and Banknote catalogue (page 4):
IMPORTANT MINTAGE INFORMATION After some lobbying efforts, selected figures have been released for decimal collector coins from 1993 through to 2005 showing those issues where the total number ordered from the applicable mint was LOWER than the the mintage limit set for New Zealand. It is unlikely that further coins will be minted for these issues. Besides each of the affected issues, the maximum mintage for New Zealand is given, followed by the actual number ordered in brackets. These numbers reveal significant information about how many of each issue actually exist and should be of wide interest to collectors and dealers alike - some of them very low indeed. Also, here is a page from the RAM report for the 2004 issue: (scroll down to page 6) http://www.ramint.gov.au/about_ram/downloads/AnnualReport2005Supplement.pdf |
