We're just back from this year's ANDA show in Melbourne. Here's our show report:
ANDA Coin and Banknote Show Melbourne 2013 (http://www.australian-threepence.com/blog/2013/07/anda-coin-and-banknote-show-melbourne-2013.html)
And here's a couple of purchases. The first, a nice little buffalo nickel (our first) and the second, a spectacular broadstruck New Zealand half crown.

Very very nice coins Markn!!!
Very nice coins indeed.
I totally forgot the show was on this weekend. never mind, the RAM wasn't there so not much interest for me.
Love both of these- great pickup guys.!!!
Hey Mark, does that half crown have a die crack through the "A" of LAND?

Yep.
That broadstrike is stunning!
Mark is stealing my glory. The half crown is from Klaus Ford, he's had it in his stock for a while, saw it last year but my interest in New Zealand is picking up more lately. Mark didn't want me to buy it, I'll probably never get back what I paid for it as I'm told no one collects NZ errors. But it's so pretty and being such a big coin it's impressive and the metal flow and that die crack are really cool.
Also picked up huge Bahamas $5 and $2 silver coins with pretty toning.
It was good to catch up with people at the show.The Mint's not being there really brought out the hardcore collectors I think.
That 1937-D Buffalo nickel is stunning. I have many Buffalo nickels and not one of them even comes close to the one shown.

Great work there Splock, looks like everyone was enjoying themselves.
Nice acquisitions. The Buffalo nickel is a great coin. Will admire with interest.
Great photos. Looks like some good fun. I can't wait until I can attend my first event.
Thanks for posting the pics. Splock, looks like a good time for all concerned.!

I remember that song by Little patty and she used to mime it very well on Brian Henderson's Band Stand....She was a cutie...!
Gees, I better stop remembering these things in a public forum. People will be able to guess how old I am.......!

Little Patty used to tour when I lived out west
my brother went to some of the shows and he had signed photos from Little patty and Johnny Farnham back in the Sadie the cleaning lady days!
Ah, those were the days.
was there no royal Australian mint mobile press in attendance this year?
Quote from: 'runway' pid='21229' dateline='1373635891'was there no royal Australian mint mobile press in attendance this year?
They don't do ANDA nowadays. Noooo idea why. :angel:
probably the labour cost of transporting the press around
Quote from: 'runway' pid='21229' dateline='1373635891'was there no royal Australian mint mobile press in attendance this year?
That is correct but they will have the Portable press at the big show in October I think it is to be held at Etihad Stadium.
Maybe also as they have it setup for the 50c this year and not the dollars.
The Perth Mint have no reason not to be there.
According to my sources, the $1 coin will be up for grabs with the "M" Counterstamp.
Is the 'International Coin and Banknote Show' a first time event? I have never heard of anything similar happening elsewhere.

Ewwwwwwww.. please, let that not be the case. :(

:i_agree:
After the last lot of counter stamped 50 cent coins and the subsequent high prices achieved for them on eBay , It will be a bloodbath queuing up for them :angel:
The "Coin Scalpers" will be there in their droves and god help any genuine collector that wants one of these at issue price :dodgy:
Only the $1 Counterstamp "M" will be on sale. That is from quite high authority at the RAM.
My lips are now sealed and welded tight.
QuoteMy lips are now sealed and welded tight.
Let me know how you do that , I would love to try that for Mrs Trout :diablo::laugh2:
they only did the 50c counter stamp because it had the "stamp" design on it as it was the WORLD STAMP EXPO. they will not be doing the same design again, so our little PRECIOUS (haha Gollum voice) will be a one off and will hold their price OK!
the one at the next Melbourne event will be the $1 coin counter stamp keeping with the normal yearly theme of the holey dollar design. and yeah I am so going to be there ready to stab people to get in the line HAHA
