Interesting news today.....
Link (http://www.australian-threepence.com/coin-news/anzac-albany-2014-al-counterstamp-dollar-100-years-anzac-commemorative-coin/)
I imagine that Andrew Crellin will be getting a few of these.
I tried the phone number on his website but to no avail.
Is he a member here?
I was wondering why Goldie was asking about Albany :angel:
Thanks for the "Heads up" PP :yahoo:
Those having trouble posting in this thread should do a simple reply and not quote reply. Not sure what the issue is but a quote reply will not work.
I have tried that PPH and it did not work.
It did that time, thanks.
Maybe we could all chip in and send someone across by train/boat/plane/car to get our coins..........
Delete the "RE:" out of the header and bring it down below the maximum allowable letter count :good:
If anyone is going to this event, can you please pm me, as I would love one of these.

Excellent thank you Interest,I wish I had a source to get me some of these :wavemulticolor:
I got an email from Prospect offering this coin for $15 yesterday. This is the link from the email:

They also had this one:

An interesting ad from Prospect as neither of the coins have not yet been issued, they already have one in stock of each.
Interesting.
Under "Buy it" button it states available from 28/11/2014.
Obviously they shouldn't have these in stock but it's nice to be able to buy one
I reckon many dealers will have these coins supplied by the RAM, even though the advertisement infers a person would need to be on location to buy one.

The recent 103 issue of Mint Issue suggested we contact our local dealer to express interest in obtaining these coins :dodgy::angel::idea:

2014 $1 "100 YEARS OF ANZAC - THE SPIRIT LIVES" OVERSTAMPED COIN
Obviously seller is illiterate with numismatic terms.... COUNTERSTRUCK is the correct terminology

Beware of postage cost here
I refuse to be sucked in by this same coin differant counterstamp BS
I will end up getting all the rest of my 25mm dollar coins 1984 to 2014 graded and from then on it will just be a "type set" without all the ridicules differant mint marks and counterstamps.
The mobile press counterstrikes are ok I buy them as part of the collection at least they are not pad printed ...yet?
Quote from: 'trout' pid='61664' dateline='1414785385'I refuse to be sucked in by this same coin differant counterstamp BS
I don't have a problem with this, at least it's a different countersatamp. My gripe is when they use the same counterstamp on the same coin at a different location. :dash1:

Very opportunist for a $1 coin these will be $15 max soon
I sent the seller an email asking how much he would buy for.
Reply was $15.00.
He is not getting any of mine provided I get some first.
I haven't bought any and no way this monkey will get my money for that rip off price and he won't be selling any greedy opportunist
Here we go, Downies has just pulled the rug out from under these eBay shysters :yahoo:
http://www.downies.com/Royal-Australian-Mint/Australia-2014-100-Years-of-Anzac-AL-Counterstamp-Coin/5992/productview.aspx?utm_source=Downies+Online+Email+Newsletters&utm_campaign=f5827c5f21-Weekly_Gallipoli_Lenticular_Gold11_11_2014&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_cb58a32640-f5827c5f21-29513797
I put downies onto the rolls or at least that is what they told me. But they put them up for about 99 dollars as they said they only secured a small amount when they contacted the mint about them. But these ones would be a standard dealer allocation. I'd say
Downies would be the biggest wholesale customer of RAM,as such they would know every single coin release in advance.
They knew about the $2 rolls in advance,every dealer did and they would have ordered thousands of rolls for $50
They knew about the 2014 $1 MOR rolls
I do respect Downies but their sales marketing could be a bit more honest.
They do talk themselves up as we all know,for eg see below and everything is minimum double the real price they may get on auction

thanks for the link runway
I just acquired a beaut new avatar cheers!
Mr Roberts at Wynyard in Sydney is selling the ANZAC AL dollar for $15.
For those that bought and have received your AL Counterstamp coins, are your folders showing that plastic film aroung the hole in the folder is lifting.
All of my folders are showing this and I have contacted the RAM about it.
I wait for a response.
Bruce is this the AL or M counterstamps
At this stage only the AL counterstamp folders.
I shall a picture of what I am talking about.

Have a close look at the bottom scan, the plastic covering is lifting off the folder itself. Looks like a life boy about the hole.
Hey Bruce I just got my delivery of these and they are the same. Some have even popped out of the plastic. Any update on what the RAM says??
I happen to be a bit shirty about these. When they were first announced the RAM said you had to be there to get any. So I jumped through hoops to organise and get some and they have travelled far to get to me (via military personel and been driven across the Nullabor). Then of course there is a dealer allocation and everyone has them.
The quality is also really crap.
Yes, the RAM seem to be changing their tune while you are still doing the dance & they have been like that for a while now. It is really annoying.
Aren't you guys RAM dealers yet? (PP that is)

Nah, been lazy with the paperwork on that one.
What do you need to become a dealer? Can us forum members band together and become one?
Imagine the tooing and froing over gradings as members each have their two bob's worth (so to speak)!! ;)

I think you sort of have to be a business and maybe mostly a stamp & coin business - business number, all that stuff
they (the RAM) probably expect a certain amount to be moved - but there seems to be heaps of on-line dealers - the PP would add a touch of class to the dealerships out there - some are real rough diamonds
not quite so sure about a forum dealership - I think that would be a bloody complicated mess in many ways (to be frank!)

The paperwork was a pain in the butt and they were glacially slow answering questions we had. So we lost interest. Maybe we should get it up and running again.
Geez thats p... poor by the mint workers at the mobile press,they must have been as rough as to tear the folders like that,or the mint has change the quality of the cards & if so that is also p...poor.
I am still waiting for a response from the RAM re my phone complaint. Although I did get a phone call from them on the night of my complaint and was informed that they will have to wait for the remaining folders to arrive back from Albany.
I just might send a email tonight for a chase in reply.
Will post further info as it comes to light.

Remember the above.
Well good news.
I have just received a fresh supply of GOOD FOLDERS from the RAM this day.
So, if your folder is showing a "lifebouy effect"' about the hole where the coin is viewed, contact the RAM and get replacement folders.

I see they're in stock now, and they're asking $25. When I ordered in October, they were asking $15.
My order of the $15 - AL Counterstamp $1 ANZAC coin through prospect stamps and coins has now been completed this afternoon, which should also mean it has been posted. I also ordered mine in late October.
I got the same email a few hours ago. They also increased the price of the 'M' counterstamped coin to $25.
