Australian Kangaroo Coin

This Australian Coin set is from 1994 and has two 1 kilo Silver Coins featuring Elizabeth II on one side and the Australian Kookaburra on the reverse side; one 2 oz Gold Coin with Elizabeth II on one side and the Red Kangaroo on the reverse side, and finally one 1oz Platinum Coin featuring Elizabeth II on one side and the Australian Koalo on the reverse. This is a set numbered of 15000 minted through the Perth Mint in Australia. Only 5000 of these were sent to the US and this is number 001812. Looking for collectors and market value along with any other information possible.

I could only find one such set for sale (US$2950).
The bullion value of the set would be about $710 for the silver, $1160 for the gold, and about $1080 for the platinum, so $3000 is about right.
Here is the link to the set I saw for sale:

TV9 - 1 Ton Gold Coin - Australia#39;s New Kangaroo Coin...........! Australia#39;s new Kangaroo coin weighs one ton and is made from gold worth ...

During my travels to Australia over the last couple of years, I randomly decided to collect all the 1$ coins - and by chance, the last purchase I made these holidays at coles brought me the last missing coin. This does not include the non-circulated special editions, but merely the circulated ones.
Here's the list:

1986: International Year of Peace.
1988: Figure with and Koori Kangaroo for 200 years of English colonisation.
1993: Landcare Australia.
1996: Sir Henry Parkes.
1997: Sir Charles Kingsford Smith coin B.
1999: Year of Older Persons.
2001: 2 coin issues
100 years of Federation.
International Year of the Volunteer.
2002: Year of the Outback.
2003: 2 coin issues
Centenary of women's suffrage.
Australia's Volunteers.
2005: The Dancing Man - 60 years since World War II.
2007: APEC Australia 2007.
2008: Centenary of Scouting
They are in relatively good condition, I mean they were used and not new, but I can polish them. I obviously also have the normal 1$ coin with the kangaroos, but I doubt that counts. Anyway, it's 14 1$ coins, so its worth 14$ technically, but how much would they be worth as a set on ebay or other?
Thanks!

wow, go to a coin shop or an antique shop....
they would probably give you a more accurate estimate than people on yahoo answers. its advice, take it or leave it =]

I have this coin. On the front it has Kangaroo Tour Australia Vs England, With a shield in the middle with Australian RL
On the Back It has a Pic of Mal Meninga, with Salute to mal Meninga written at the top and Tour Captain 1994 on the bottom.

Its a cold coin about the size of A 20 cent piece. if any one can give me some info about it, that would be great :D

The coin would be when the Kangaroo's went over to play England in the tour.

I think Mal Meninga was the captain, and they salute him cause he was so good, and helped them win.

I have the EXACT same coin, when I went over there and watched them beat England, it was absolutely GREAT.

BE SURE you ordered the right size for your intended use!!
Printed on WHITE, premium, self-adhesive, re-positionable fabric paper.

I am looking to invest in some....
I know there is the: US silver eagles, Chinese Pandas, Australian Kangaroos and others, Austrian......
But what other countries mint pure (99.93% +) silver coins?
Not looking for Sterling Silver...
