Rare Stolen Bluey $1 Coins from the Royal Australia Mint are now VERY Collectable

[@ozyrob1]

Thanks Dan. You're tempting me into coin collecting again. I used to do it as a kid. I'm trying to stay away from the light. I bought the 4 space dollars in the uncirculated set. I was tempted to get the Vegemite set but managed to resist

[@TheBlondeSuperman]

Why hold back from something you enjoy?

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Now that I have started this KZbin channel I have fell in love with the hobby even more. The more you learn about it the more enjoyable it is. Dan

[@ozyrob1]

@@TheBlondeSuperman it's just that I have multiple collections of things. Just more worry for my kids to sort out when I no longer need it.

😂🤣😂 hilarious , so the police basically let the law slide and basically help resellers scalp the public ridiculous amounts of money for coins that are going into circulation anyway , I bet you were sweating for a bit thinking the police would go after the buyers for receiving stolen goods 😂 lucky they didn’t cause it wouldn’t be hard to follow that paper trail 😂 excellent video , I needed a good laugh 😂

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Yes, I definitely was thinking they might show up to tack them back 😥 it’s definitely one of the craziest things I have heard! Just wonder how collectable the bags will become now! Glad you had a laugh 😂🤣 Dan

[@chrisa6082]

@@DantheCollectingMan What do you think of the rolls from the folder set. They will be $29, and can keep the roll unopened. Also the more expensive cards ($10 each), may very likely be a higher quality than the rolls and bags that have been banging around. I think having the full set to sell rather than 25 the same would be more valuable.. maybe. I do have some rolls, like the 2024 premium set, but they aren't much for displaying. More of just a pile of treasure to bury on a secluded island.

So so so true

[@johnrozs]

So whatever happened to receiving stolen goods... must be a thing of the past now as it's set a precedence 😊

[@navypti]

I bought one 2 weeks ago from a person on a coin selling page. I'd say it was one of these stolen coins. I paid $7 for it. I had NO idea they were stolen.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Me too. I was so shocked when I first heard about it… and didn’t know what to do with the coins I had. But have to told I can keep them. Dan

[@petervonstamer7859]

From the news report, it sounded like the Aus Mint used a normal storage company, not a currency storage centre, that they were storing the coins at. I suppose to save money as its only coins

[@DantheCollectingMan]

I don’t think they will be doing that again 🤔

[@thebigcheese3489]

6:41 wow. I’m shocked. The mainstream media wasn’t interested in accuracy

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Yes, they are so lazy. That’s why you can’t trust them.

[@drumcrazy72]

I prefer the 2005 $1 MOR off-centre 10% error coin. Beautiful coins those.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@milli5486]

This is all Great marketing. Well done Dan 👍

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Thanks 👍

[@michaelmeola9652]

i found 6 2 weeks ago in coin rolls from bank

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Wow, that’s amazing that people are finding them in coin rolls 👌

[@milamberhague8095]

spent 1200 made 5000 got set of everything still and still some selling yyyyeeeewww

[@DantheCollectingMan]

That’s definitely a nice return 👌 you must be very happy with that!! Thanks for sharing. Dan

[@riverland22]

How difficult do you think it would be to bag up 20 coins? 🤔

[@DantheCollectingMan]

If you could find a similar bag. But I don’t think it would be easy. Dan

[@TimBoss2000]

My advice dan with any coins that remain in a bag is to align them head to tails and then roll the plastic bag around them to protect them from rubbing against each other as much as possible and to prevent any uneven or unnecessary toning.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Thanks so much for your advice. I’ll definitely do that. Dan

[@TimBoss2000]

@@DantheCollectingMan From the perspective of collecting, locking coins into position within a bag is of an overall advantage. While you can no longer view both sides of any coin within the bag you are protecting 18 of them from uneven toning and all of them from scratching each other.

[@barrysharman2645]

Thanks Dan.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

[@lavanderlilly]

I got 1 in my change

[@DantheCollectingMan]

That’s definitely a nice find. I would love to know the final mintage

[@chrisa6082]

@DantheCollectingMan there are now ebay listings for a $1 coloured proof coin. There is a silver proof and AlBr proof. Is likely an upcoming September EQL.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

It will definitely be crazy trying to get them!! The silver one will be the key one to get! Thanks for sharing. Dan

[@brucejensen3081]

Got to think that bag will be falling to pieces in 10 or 20yrs time but

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Yes, definitely in the long term

[@turnedinaus]

I do hope you have passed on all the information as to who you purchased from onto the police. (They are unlikely to be the original source) NSW Police have stated Strike force bandit are still investigating, they have stated the collectors can keep them. They are just trying to track down the initial parties, all the pieces of the puzzle can help the police. If we want to stop the dodgy stuff happening in the future, the community needs to step up with assistance where they can.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

I’m happy to pass on if requested. I’m sure they have seen my videos 😉

[@peterpullthrough]

They will be worth $1 by Christmas. Don’t be stupid people.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Maybe Christmas 2025 👍
