Coin Collectors' Corner

@Mustang67 thanks for the update 😍

The new 2026 $2 Tooth Fairy Colour Coin in Card is out and available in stores. Here is what the coin looks like.

I just ordered mine, so they are not all sold out yet, if anyone is interested.

@Mustang67 that coin is so cool, glad you got yours secured.

I had a collection of dollar coins that disappeared when I moved back home so I haven't bothered to collect any more. I am still looking at the Vietnam 50th anniversary coin though.

Thanks for sharing your coins again 😍

@ENKELI they have been bringing out the $2 Tooth Fairy Coin since 2020 (This is the first year the coin has had colour). I have all the years except for that year. But I refuse to spend over $200 to purchase a $2 coin.

Since 2022 I have been purchasing two of the coins, so I can sell one at a later stage once the price starts to increase.

Hi @Mustang67 @tyme @ENKELI @Harmonium @TAB and others. Thanks for sharing all of the latest coin news and updates @Mustang67 - very much appreciated!

I’m so impressed with all of your coin collection that you’ve purchased @Mustang67 - well done!

I have some coin news of my own which I’m sharing as I haven’t told anyone else yet, including my housemate/ best friend for various reasons. I put in for the Bluey Tooth Fairy ballot on Wednesday after seeing a post on Facebook and entered to win the coin and the tooth fairy set - decided to risk an entry into each to see how I would go. Anyway, Friday morning comes around and I got 2 separate emails at different times to say I’d won both ballots - I honestly didn’t expect to win either and I would’ve been happy just to get 1 win. I didn’t tell my housemate/ best friend as we’ve had issues lately and she missed out on the Christmas bluey coin in October last year and was really upset by this happening to her as I also got that coin so I know she’d be really upset which is why I haven’t told her. I’m curious to know/ find out if the tooth fairy pack is worth more to collectors/ general public/ Bluey fans than just the coin on its own? Does anyone know? Are Bluey coins a good investment strategy or am I just wasting money and time entering ballots and getting them if it happens? Obviously I just spent $60 in this latest Bluey coin collection plus the other 2 editions - I just go for the basic cheap option as I’m not as serious as other coin collectors- and I’d like to think there could be a market for the coins should I choose to sell them later on if I need money. I think the US people love all things Bluey and I’m not sure the coins were offered to them so I’m thinking of that as an option- so I’d like some advice from a knowledgeable forum member regarding these questions. Thanks in advance for all advice given and offered!

I look forward to seeing what other forum members post in regards to coins and coin news.

Take care.

Hi @Judi9877 and @tyme @ENKELI @Harmonium @TAB. My personal opinion is that you cannot go wrong with the Bluey coins. They sell out ultra-fast and there is a big market for them. People on Ebay are asking ridiculous prices for these coins, but they should sell for a good profit in years to come.

This is what Google said

• High Resale Interest: Early releases like the
  2024 Bluey Dollarbucks
  10-coin set (originally $29) have sold for as much as $300 on platforms like eBay.
• Recent Trends: The 2025 Bluey Christmas coins, retailing at $20, saw pre-sale listings reaching $85 before they even officially launched.
• Collector Demand: Expert opinions suggest that Bluey’s global popularity could sustain demand for these coins for over a decade.

I have been collecting the tooth fairy $2 coin since I started collecting in 2023. They started producing this coin in 2020. I wanted to try and get the full collection, so I purchased the 2021 coin and the cheapest I could find it for was $69.95 and the 2022 coins I purchased for $44.95. I don't have the 2020 $2 coin, and just by having a quick look at the coin shops, they are selling this coin from $195 to $270, and I refuse to pay that much money for a $2. So, it looks like I won't get the full set, unless I find one at auction going cheap.

So buy those prices, I would say they are also a good one to hold on to. For the last three years I have been buying two of the coins, so I can sell one later on when people are trying to complete a full set.

This is what Google said, and it makes a good point about the last three years.

Purchasing $2 Tooth Fairy coins can be worth it for short-to-medium-term profit, as older issues (2020–2021) have seen substantial value increases, sometimes trading at over 10 to 15 times their original retail price. However, newer issues (2024–2026) frequently have unlimited mintages, which can significantly limit their long-term scarcity and future profit potential compared to the strictly limited early editions

I hope this answers your question.

I saw the tooth fairy ones! They are so cute @Mustang67 !

Hello coin lovers,

Thank you @Mustang67 for keeping us in the loop : ) I always appreciate your thoughts on all things coins.
Sadly I missed out on the first EQL Ballot for 2026 but this time around won the Queensland 25c and the Tooth Fairy coin pack with toothbrush (bid just because my little one is about to lose a tooth : )

Actually, I accidentally won the whole Federation coin collection on EBay today for $250 so it’s selling for $90 over its purchase price already. I’m thinking of breaking up the set as there are more set collections than individual coins. Only 750 individual coins of each variety were released while 11,175 set collections were also released this week. Thus I think the individual coins will have a solid aftermarket value.
The sad passing of our Queen is what drove me into coin collecting…I kept all recent coins with her effigy and the transition to King Charles and then Bluey hit and I won quite a few and got hooked then on…
I now keep my coins wrapped in acid free paper in an old hardshell suitcase. This, I hope protects the packaging from temperature variables.

I once read about a coin that was found in a box of cornflakes that was remarkably well preserved due to its position between packaging and cardboard - it was worth in excess of 40k! It was called the Sacagawea "Cheerios" Dollar. So I think, if you hang onto coins in low releases you just never know the yet untold mysteries that may show up down the line in terms of errors, special varieties and just plain old rarity. These sorts of things are what really bump the value up as well as safe storing : )

Have a good week friends : )

@Harmonium you did better than I did. Even though I posted about the releases, I wasn't in a good place mentally when the ballot opened, so I missed it all together. I was lucky enough to obtain two Tooth Fairy coins form a coin shop yesterday.

I completely forgot about the Federation coins, until I just read your post now. I just had a look on Australia Post and they have them as coming soon, but to be released on the 28th of February. So, I will have a look on the site first thing tomorrow morning. I only want the one for South Australia.

I think you are right about breaking up the Federation set and selling the coins individually, especially with only 750 coins released.

Welcome to the addiction.

Enjoy your evening.

@Harmonium I was just looking at Kearns Auction site and saw these two and thought you might be interested.
