Just got off the phone to Austpost Philatellic after ordering the Black Caviar Limited Edition PNC.
I started dialling at 12pm, got a message "we are experiencing difficulties" and the line went dead. This happened for the next six attempts.
On the seventh attempt I got through and was subsequently put on hold. The time was 1202pm.
Spoke to an operator at 1236pm and got the PNC ordered. Patience sometimes pays off.
I asked if I could put my daughter in law on the phone to order another and was told "No, one order per phone call".
I am happy chappy now.
Will post scans of the PNC if and when received.
A $250 PNC ... mmm only 100 released.... well done Goldseeker
I received the PNC this day. I am certainly impressed with the packaging and the PNC itself. The two coins are superb.
For those that missed it, I think you have missed a real good goldmine......!
Well we know where to go to find one! :diablo:
Picture would be good.

Nice looking PNC there & only 100 issued.
Trivia question
How many races did Black Caviar win in the Cook Islands?
Answer..tickticktickticktickticktick
I'll have to phone a friend on that one.
I like the standard PNC design but these are very very nice. It does really look like you have picked a winner there Goldseeker!
Pedro
Yes, it does look good with a maximum issue of only 100. The price tag was $250.00 but I think it will be up there with the Limited Edition issues that were sold at the World Stamp Expo Limited Edition PNC sold over 6 days at 1250 per day with differing cancellations and then the World Coin Expo held at Etihad Stadium recently where on a limited edition of 300 PNC's were available to the public.
Only time will tell if they are really worth what we were asked to pay for them as I haven't seen any on EBay as yet to judge the demand.
Goldseeker - did you notice this one?

Pedro: Have a look up and you will my scans of that very PNC.

Regardless, that would the first I have seen on EBay. Nice profit as well........as the PNC cost $250.00, limited to 1 per person.
Looks like a few people are cashing in. Found another one that went for $665 and one on sale ending tomorrow (up to $466.99 currently).

$800 no bids..these are nothing special imho
me thinks that the starting bid is scaring bidders away.
Unlike the other cover where the starting bid was $0.99.

Agree with that :good:
Yesterday's one went for $910. $800 shouldn't scare them off :blink:
