Title: is the 2011 10c coin scarce or something?
Post by: lacey on October 07, 2012, 03:18:20 PM
I see one on ebay now and the price is up to $36.

The one on eBay is ex mint set, not that that means anything about quality although the seller seems to think it's a specimen. Doesn't look like value for $36 to me. You can buy a whole mint set for just $10 more or maybe pickup a nice lustrous unc one on your next shopping trip for 10c..

That's what I thought.  Thanks PP, just thought I must have been missing something.

Figures from the RAM indicate that the 2011 10c has a mintage of 1.75 million which makes it scarcer than the 1985 10c.

Presumably this will be a final figure as they are already releasing 2012 10c into circulation.

Don't worry about the auction for 1 coin , the $1 and $2 are scarce as hell as well

I think the $1 mintage is quite high. I know the $2 and 10c are very low. Ive only found two of each.

I found 2 2011 10 cents today that's why I was curious about the auction :P

Lucky you aaron. If you could get an armaguard bag it would certainly be worth hanging onto.

I've been looking on ebay, keeping in mind those 2 10c pieces took me $50 worth of 10c to get. Where can I get armaguard bags? Do they have a store or something? Sorry for the dumb question, never grabbed anything through armaguard. Btw enworb I emailed you in regard to the spread sheet, cheers

You'll need to ask you bank if they have any Armaguard bags. Some banks order them, but not all. I don't think there's any guarantees about what year is in them though (but I may be wrong as I've never got an Armaguard bag).

I looked at a couple of 10 centers I put aside & two of them are virtually choice UNC. I didn't know the scarcity of them. Are the figures finalised? Like completely finalised?
Title: RE: is the 2011 10c coin scarce or something?
Post by: enworb on December 19, 2012, 04:13:05 PM
I only have 3 of each 2011 10c and $2. Looks like theyre going to be hard ones to find.

I have been to many banks in Adelaide trying to find a full $100 armaguard bag but have had no luck. Theres plenty of 2012 bags though so i think ive missed the boat :(

No, but seeing as 2012 10c pieces abound there are unlikely to (m)any more 2011 10c pieces minted.
Title: RE: is the 2011 10c coin scarce or something?
Post by: enworb on December 19, 2012, 06:34:16 PM
I really doubt there will be any more. As Mister T said there are tonnes of 2012 10c out already. It would be unusual for them to then go back and use an older dated die.
Title: RE: is the 2011 10c coin scarce or something?
Post by: trout on December 21, 2012, 09:22:18 AM
I went with the mint set option.
A lot more expensive than the noodling option but the coins are in great condition and I didn't have to hunt too hard to get them.
I love ebay noodling:ebay::grin:

2011 is the one to find Kel. I recently noodled nearly 2kg of 10ยข (about 350 coins) and still haven't found one -I have done this exercise probably about 8 or ten times since 2011.

The Mint sets for 2011 were not that flash, the highest graded coin on PCGS is MS66.
This is my Mint Set coin, Not super flash but better than I could find noodling :ok:

I found 3 $0.10 in circulation but also managed to pick up 23 X 2011 mint sets.

Found about 150 $2 2011 circulated with similar mintage to the ten cent.

I've been able to find quite a few of these over the years (lots of searching). They are still hard to find but I have much more trouble finding the 1985 10c where I am. I find about 4 x 2011 for every 1 x 1985 10c.

1985 10c had a low mintage as well very hard to find
