I have been informed by the mint that they will not be taking the portable press to the ANDA fair. All the counterstamp coins will be pre stamped before they go.
I can confirm "jens coins" comments are correct.
I noticed this on the RAM website yesterday and thought maybe it would be of interest for the Sydney ANDA show.

If anyone can secure any of these coins for me - please let me know via pm. I would be very appreciative, thank you.
Yes I two would like to put my hand up for a set if anyone is going and able to help out
I would also like one.
PM if anyone is attending show.
Many Thanks
Grant
notice the $2 coin :P
Melbourne missing out again.......grrrrrr
Stupid question....
QuoteBuy one 50th Anniversary 2015 Six Coin Uncirculated Set to swap your change for one set of the circulating coins on offer! Buy two sets, swap two sets of change!*
Buy one 50th Anniversary 2015 Six Coin Proof Set to swap your change for two sets of the circulating coins on offer! Buy two sets, swap four sets of change!*
What the heck does that mean? So I buy 1 proof set, I give them 2x$3.50 and get back 2 sets of ($2 remembrance day, $1 ANZAC and 50c AIATSIS). Is that right?
The fine print down below says:
QuoteLimited stock available.
Promotion ends when stock runs out.
There will be a limit on the number of sets available per purchase per person.
This sounds rather popular. So will it run out by second day? And what is the limit per person usually?
I plan to go to the show. Bit worried that by Sat will run out. I want to get proof set for myself at least and a couple of coin change set. I am happy to get some for people but not sure what the limit is. I don't want to make promises that I can't keep....
There will be,
pre-stamped 'S' for Sydney 2014 $1 uncirculated A Voyage to Terra Australis coins.
These will be the coins from the Royal Easter show that were selling for $5.00 each, they will now by $10.00 each.

The inscriptions 'REMEMBRANCE' and 'TWO DOLLARS' and 2 representations of a dot are also included in the design.

AJ hasn't surfaced anywhere for a few weeks as far as I know
he is on his trip , will catch up with anybody at the show if he comes across any one that he knows he will say gday mate to you ..

Kel,
Do you know whether AJ is going one day or both days to ANDA?

don't know pedro , but you can ring or text him on his mobile .I will give him a call today and ask him for you ..
,, kel ,,
Kel,
Being the luddite I am I don't have AJ's mobile number. Are you able to PM to me?
Thanks.
Pedro
I'll be attending Saturday morning with the family
I know AJ is in Sydney with Belly .
couldn't tell you what time they'll be rocking up though
A J , just said the show is on today and tomorrow , but no time frame
for him . depends on what time he goes to sleep and wakes up in
the mornings . ,, kel ,,
My goodness. Line is an hour long for RAM stand! !!
that is exactly why i'd never offer to get coins for other people
think they also limit how many you an get when you finally got to the press
Managed to find AJ and Belly very quickly. Had a good day for my first ANDA show!
The line for the RAM was down to 6 people by about 2.45pm. I believe the limit for mint sets & coin exchange today was 10.
Early on most of the crowd was in the RAM line. Quite a few people seem to have lined up but not knowing what they had lined up for!
Pedro
That's a positive report Pedro! Good work!
(You have no idea how much I wanted to hijack the thread with an Angel's Long Line link).
:laugh2: I was silly enough to try earlier at about 1.45pm (in my defence I was on a "mission" - at least in my own mind!) - could have played the song many times before I got to the front. AJ and Belly were more clever in choosing their time of attack so they managed to get through somewhat quicker.
Pedro
Yes was a grand day meeting Pedro and seeing Rob and Eric again..really nice people, and I wanted to be good..AJ :P
Sounds like you had a good day AJ!
I wish I was down there with you A J ,, kel ,,

I was there around 12:30-1:00. The line snaked all the way for almost 20m. Think I chose a bad time but I was at work so the only time I can go. By the time I got my coins it was past 1:30. I didn't have any more time so I left and head back to work.
It was OK I was able to get everything within the limit. I will PM the people who asked me to get things later.
Yes there were a lot of people who weren't sure what to get. They were asking for advice like what to get for their kids etc. which took a long time.
The RAM people were not particularly careful with the change set coins!!
I hope the actual ANDA show attendees also supported the event by checking out all of the dealers items as well
RAM attending with their new releases and extra goodies may have added bums on seats however no mobile press is the real bummer
Hope everyone enjoyed this special ANDA :)

Went back again today. Lots of good tips and useful advice, especially from Drake Sterling's. So many slabs there I spent quite a bit of time looking and comparing the different grades trying to pick up grading skills. Very useful day. :)
well.. i did get there eventually... plane was late , circled sydney a couple of times, trains were stuffed due to track work ..
so i arrived at 4:45 !!! 15mins to closing and all were packing up !! mind you no entry fee!
went straight to eric and he being ever so helpful was able to fulfil my request on the spot :yahoo:
a couple of 2013 gold sovereigns (I mint)for the twin grandies as they are coming out(from new york) for their christening. another:yahoo::yahoo:
Was nice to meet everyone I met over the 2 days. Was a great experience for me helping Eric out at the Drake Sterling stand.
Didn't get much for myself, the higher grade stuff that's affordable and worth sending to PCGS is getting harder to find.

Thanks for all the tips from you and Eric. :thank_you: Hope I wasn't taking up too much of your time on Sat.
I would like to thank kchan1111 for the coins he arranged to get from the Sydney ANDA Show that I received this day.
All in excellent condition and extremely well packed.
Many thanks once again.
No problemo. Glad it arrived safely. :good:
I would like to thank kchan1111 as well for a very appreciated effort at the Sydney ANDA Show and the fantastic packaging my products arrived in today :)
No worries. Sure takes Aussie Post a long time to get something from Sydney to Tassie - a whole week!
