>there seems to be a lot here on ebay for around spot price in Aus.
I wish there were more here. It's incredibly easy to get Australian Predecimal junk at a reasonable price in the US, all the coin shops usually have at least some of it and there are usually some good Ebay listings, but nobody has the 50 cent coins at a good price. The shops never get any and the cheap Australian Ebay lots don't ship here and the ones that do have absurd shipping costs. Even bulk lots shipping domestically come at an absurd premium (for foreign junk). I guess I'll have to settle for what I can get my hands on.

By and large go for whatever has the lowest tax and premium. If you're putting a lot of money into Silver and don't care about divisibility buy large bars and bullion coins and rounds, if you care more about divisibility or simply can't afford as much go more into Junk Silver if you can find it (80% 50 cent pieces as well as predecimal coins) and still get some bullion bars/coins, but not as many.
For Gold buy the most recognizeable coins that come at a low premium, such as Krugs and Sovereigns.
