What is the value of a 1988 Australian gold proof set?

Answer 1

There were no Australian gold proof coins minted in 1984. Perhaps you refer to the One Dollar coin which is an aluminium bronze alloy and has a gold appearance. An Australian 1984 1 Dollar coin (Proof), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to $6 AUD, or maybe $10 AUD if it was in the presentation pack. A reputable coin dealer will be able to advise a more accurate quotation.

Answer 2

An Australian 1984 $200 coin, depending on whether it "uncirculated" or "proof" and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to $230 AUD. The 1984 design features Queen Elizabeth II (Machin) on the Obverse and a Koala (Hahne) on the Reverse. These were produced by the Royal Australian Mint, Canberra, and were intended as non-circulating legal tender. 1984 Canberra Mint - 49,200 minted - Uncirculated - current retail $265 AUD.

1984 Canberra Mint - 12,584 minted - Proof - current retail $290 AUD.

By "Gold Proof set" I take it that you refer to the "Gold Cased Proof Nuggets - Famous Nugget Series" issued by the Perth Mint.

An Australian 1988 Proof Gold Nugget (two coin) cased set might fetch up to $380 AUD. It includes 1/4 and 1/10th ounce coins. There were 1,276 issued. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

An Australian 1983 $200 coin, depending on whether it "uncirculated" or "proof" and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to $440 AUD. The 1983 design features Queen Elizabeth II (Machin) on the Obverse and a Koala (Hahne) on the Reverse.

Answer 6

Australia does not produce any gold coins for general circulation, the coin would be worth at least $100 dollars more than its face value.

The Australian One and Two Dollar coins have a gold coloured appearance, but are made from a copper, aluminium and nickel alloy.

Gold Proof coins are issued from time to time but are valued accordingly.

Answer 7

The Australian 1984 proof one dollar coins are not particularly rare - due to the importance of the occasion, no less than 159,340 of them were struck.

Although they still look fantastic and hold an important place in Australia's numismatic history, they sell on ebay for anywhere between $2 and $15 apiece today.

Answer 8

Such a coin does not exist.

The Australian Two Dollar coin was first issued in 1988.
