Yes I have no problem holding them back, I am not in any rush for them to go anywhere. 

I think the Elephant has some light toning going around part of the rim. I have to be upfront and honest. I only remember from taking photos. 

If you still want that on top of the Koala and Kook that is fine, if not I understand. 

@kimchi Yes I  have duplicates. I just don't know where to look to find them... these were in my duplicate box. 

Postage  @ArcaneCollector for all 3 coins with a signature will be about £6 from memory.  That's insured and tracked.

I will put pending on the main listing... if you do not want the elephant I will remove it.

Thanks  @Admin I am still happy to take the elephant. A bit of lemon juice will sort out that toning. I cleaned a silver eagle that way and it’s as good as new! Thanks for holding them back. I have the cash but I made a promise to the boss lady….and I value my life! If you have duplicates of other date year Kooks you want to shift I’ll take those too.

Nooooooo...don't clean coins (unless absolutely necessary and you're an expert i.e. well beyond lemon juice stage)

Meh! I collect coins because I like the shiny glint. Brown and milk stained coins bring me no joy. They are just BU coins. I’m not going to go to town on something valuable or important with my Brasso and toothbrush.

I would wait a while with those annoyingly-not-shiny coins as there may be techniques in the works that are a 'little' more sophisticated (and currently being tested), that sort out everything except milkspots with no damage to the coin or its value whatsoever

(It does actually remove milkspots too but my instinct is that they will return given time and storage conditions.)
