Here are the first of the 2015 coins available; I am waiting for the silver proof 25mm coin to arrive from RAM.

I went and got mine today and I am wondering what has happened to the RAM Official Sticker that has been on previous issues.
Neither of the $1 Alum Br folders or 50c coin folders had this sticker on the product.
is it the same for all you other people that have purchased this particular product?

Could be an error set ? :wavemulticolor:
Just picked up my 2015 Mint and Proof sets.
The gold plated 50 cents in the proof set looks really nice, The entire coin is gold plated even the edges :good:

The Proof MOR is also very nice

The new Proof set is packaged pretty much the same as the Wedding set coins have been done.
Individual coins in airtights in a box, a big improvement on the old style packaging where the coins were pushed into a plastic cutout and housed in a big slab.
The quality of the proof coins is also very very good, Unlike the Mint set I received the coins in this are quite frankly in a "Horrible" condition :dash1:
The dollar coin in the set is awful and would grade MS64-65 at best :cray:
the 2015 Year of the goat 50cent coin was Graded by PCGS as Genuine - UNC Details (95 - Scratch)
It does indeed have a feint scratch on the Large Goats belly be NOT distracting enough in my opinion to get slammed with a "Details" Grade :dodgy:

Ouch ......! (No kidding :angel:).
What happened here Trout?
Is it because you got the ABC series you will now get all the other one dollar coins?
Not being nasty, would just like to know your reasoning for the change of mind.

The way the mint is pumping these same but "different" coins out is really starting to p-----s me off.
I'm calling it quits on the 25mm dollars, enough is enough , I have nearly every dollar coin from 1984 until now and that is as far as I am willing to go.
I would rather spend my resources on real coins like the proclamation coins than the crap RAM is spooling out lately Dodgy

All is good Interest,
These 25mm coins are quite a powerful Drug, I may be able to wean myself off them in the next 20 years :angel:
Either that or I just keep plodding on until I simply Kark it :P
The ali bronze Goat dollar only made MS65 Yet the silver proof of the same coin Made PR70DCAM .
