Australian Mint Coin Set


Answers

Need info & value of Australian Coin Set 1994 "The Aussie" 2-1 kilo Silver coins 1-1oz Platinum, & 1-2oz Gold

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:

Obama Inauguration | Contemporary Photos

Can a non U.S. citizen to sign notes Obama inauguration?

I'm Australian and I want a ticket to the inauguration Obama. How can I get hold of them, legally or if not possible is there a black market for these tickets? Who do I talk? Mongolia you need to get a passport. Australia is multiculural the company in 2008.

Over there is no black market for tickets. Anyone claiming to have tickets to opening is a liar because: 1. Tickets are available from your state senators or congressional 2. Tickets are Free 3. No body knows if they'll even get tickets up to 1 week before the inauguration. Then each member Senator and receive a small number of tickets (such as 150 or SO) to be distributed on a first come, first served basis or by lottery. So if you're not a citizen and does not have an MP or Senator, so I do not think you can get tickets. Not to mention that each Senator / Congressman has received thousands of requests for tickets and they will give about 150. So anyone who claims to have tickets is a crook. Tickets are free, and nobody will even have until January 13 and must be effectively incorporated in Washington DC by the person who made the initial request. And then, after January 13, there will probably many people, "affirming" They got their tickets to members of Congress and picked them up and can not go and it will be virtually impossible to distinguish liars out of people who really have them. Not to mention you struggling to find a hotel, because every hotel in a 60-mile radius of DC is booked solid, and people are beginning to offer, in fact parts of their house for $ 1,000 a night.

Australian 1966 Carded Mint Set

February 14th 1966 saw the introduction of decimal coins into circulation in Australia and for the first time the Royal Australian Mint made uncirculated grade coins in sets available to collectors and visitors to the mint. The very first of these sets were coins sealed in plastic and then sealed in a blue and white cardboard holder which was initially available only to visitors to the new Royal Australian Mint facility in Canberra. The sets included an example of each of the new decimal coins, the 80% silver round 50c coin, the cupro nickel 20c, 10c, and 5c and finally the bronze 2 and 1 cent coins. With a total face value of 88c these carded mint sets were available for just $1 (just a 14% markup), a far cry from the margins achieved with mint product sold these days (the 2010 mint set has a massive 679% markup)!
