Could the high prices be because of two things:
1. The VC is well known throughout the Commonwealth and many an ex serviceman now resides in Australia and the design is straight out of the manual; and
2. The packaging is well designed and manufactured.
Now, what is the VC coin worth WITHOUT the packaging.
Another relatively cheap issue was the Barcelona $1 coin. It was the same coin that was put into a special packaging to promote "Women In Sport". They sold for a measly amount and now fetch a price of $175.00 plus.
Packaging my dear fellow collectors, packaging.
