There are 1200 of these available via Ballot.
Ballots have to be in by 14/12/16.
$15 for the set and $10 postage.
Packkyboxitis isn't really my "Thing" But I am putting a ballot in, Only one set per Legend Member :ok:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10019/img25192-edit_0.jpg)
good luck
i'll have to wait for them to come out through australia post as I have registered to be a legends members but STILL don't have any paperwork/confirmation
Looks alright, how did you hear about this?
What's special about it? Just the $1?
Im not a Legend Member, so i will get some from the post office :D
What exactly are the benefits of being a legend other than vouchers as mentioned here https://www.ramint.gov.au/legends?
There is Nothing incredibly "Special" about any on the coins themselves .
The "C" Mintmark $1 is from the Gallery Press and all the other coins are circulation issues.
The only thing unique here is the packaging, Hence the "Packkyboxitis" reference in my initial post :ok:
PM sent RG :good:
These are only available by ballot. Limited to 1200
I don't think that the Post Office will be getting any.
Unless it is like the Queens 90th Birthday order. Time will tell.
If the RAM does release these through Post Offices then I shall end my coin collecting and sell the bloody lot off.
I have heard, how true it is I can't confirm, that the RAM were selling the $0.50c pieces with the "M" Counterstamp that were left over from the World Stamp Expo held at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre some time ago, at a Canberra Stamp Fair held recently. These are the $0.50c pices that one had to purchase in a PNC at a cost of $30.00. A total of 7,500 PNC's were up for sale limited to 1,250 per day of the show. Any PNC's not sold on the day were destroyed. So there should only be 7,500 of these coins about or less.
I think that RAM is under the impression that we collectors have short memories and sneak in things at a later date thinking we won't notice.
I don't think that they would be stupid enough to mess with the mintage of these Legends sets But anything else seems to be fair game :(
There will of course be the usual eBay suspects that will have Rorted the system with the Legends sets and have multiple listing for these pretty much as soon as they are available despite a limit of one set per member :dodgy:

RAM have offered these to Legends Members only exclusive ballot nothing to do with Australia Post.
During Canberra Stamp Show 2016 Australia Post randomly gave out M Counterstruck 50c in change to customers during the 3 day event which had nothing to do with RAM
Has anyone heard back from RAM about this set yet ??

I got emailed a tax invoice saying I paid for one 2 days ago.
Looks like I missed out then as I didn't get an invoice :(
2 people on Shape your collection say they have received invoices as well. I think they will be doing the ballot over the next week as they are not sent out until January.
if people have received invoices for this set of coins then the ballot has already been done.

I do find it odd that RAM can produce this limited edition set for $15 and yet charge $25 for the mass produced year set.:angel:
They would still be making money on the $15 set otherwise they wouldn't have produced it, The extra $10 for the year set is pretty greedy I think :dodgy:

Wow!!! That was fast.
I did expect to see these on eBay But not as a Pre Sale item.
Lets hope that RAM is as good as their word and that these pre sale parasites get their orders cancelled :ok:
When I was a member of the RAM forum there were a couple of people working pretty hard to get something special made for Legend only members.
The idea originally was for a coin and I did tell them that there are many people that would treat it as simply another eBay opportunity and rort the system.
It looks like Dion and the rest of the crew that run that site have made the effort and done the work to produce these sets in response to the popularity of the idea of something "Special" for Legend members and should be applauded for this.
I just Hate it when people jump on a generous and thoughtful gesture simply to make a quick Buck :(
Received my notification today so I do get one.
But there is only one thing wrong. I can't for the life of me ever remember putting in my ballot form for this set.

QuoteI think if your on the SYC you probably get one.
I don't think so as you have to give RAM you CC details for each and every order.
I can't imagine RAM charging EVERY SYC member for one of these sets unless they put a ballot form/order in.
But I do imagine that all the SYC members would get a pre selection when their ballots were entered.
QuoteI think if your on the SYC you probably get one.
If this were the case I'd be removing my name from the SYC immediately. :angel:
I didn't want a set of these so I just ignored the notification about them, the same way I ignore most of the ballyhoo the RAM comes up with these days.
Legends ballot was emailed to RAM legends customers which has nothing to do with SYC
Another one on ebay.

Received my set in the mail today.
Must say I am a little disappointed with the packaging as it doesn't say anything about Legends only and the coins are just put in like the $2 Paralympic coin folder. No mintage numbers either.
The Mint would be able to sell these sets as another product.
Lets see how this one goes. They are only asking $1,400.00

Seriously :kez_15: Mrs Robster is only charging me $499.95 for her set! :angel:
None of the coins in this set are "Unique" and from Jen's description and the images of the sets on eBay the packaging is completely inadequate for a set of coins.
Paying silly money for these is taking packkyboxitis to a whole new level :angel:

@runway
If RAM doesn't come good with a replacement "C" Mintmark Sydney Mints dollar coin send me a PM and I will send you one of my spares. :ok:
It is just a matter of slipping the coin into the pouch in the set then. :good:
I was pretty horrified to see that this set is packaged in the same way the Olympic $2 were and the coins falling out of them and the resulting toning will be an ongoing problem with this set :dash1:
I will be vacuum sealing my set as soon as it arrives in an attempt to stop further toning and the coins falling out :)
I've sent a complaint to the RAM about this type of packaging. I didn't want them to think it was suitable for continued use, it's a terrible idea. Whoever thought of it is not a collector. At least I've said my bit now.
Just to add, the pack says the dollar is circulating. Hmmmm. it's not.
The packaging has not date on it whatsoever. They will use the packaging for future coin releases.
Also when we received the invitation for the ballot it said the $1 coin was the one only available from the RAM Gallery which is the "C" counterstamp coin. The $1 coin in the set sent to me is a "C" Mintmark. Which is available in the 4 coin sets. They got that wrong too.
QuoteThey got that wrong too.
They just lied (As per usual), This is becoming a bit of a habit by RAM lately.
RAM is rapidly loosing it credibility as far as I am concerned.

With all the Shonky goings on last year with the $2 Olympics and the HM's 90th debacle and now this hideous 3rd rate legends set I don't think I will bother with any more of the RAM products in future.

The $1 are coming from these sets that are unlimited mintage:
https://eshop.ramint.gov.au/2016-Mintmark-and-Privy-Mark-Set/310887.aspx
All the other coins in the set are 2016 circulating coins
We will never know what the actual mintage is for these Legends sets as they are not numbered.
My set arrived today.
I can't say I am impressed with it, The coins are in pretty "Ordinary" condition MS63-64 ish and there is absolutely NO mention of this being a special edition or being for Legends on the packaging.
The coins are NOT sealed into the packaging, They are just slotted into the back leaving half the coin exposed.
It looks like I have been "Sucked In" again with this garbage :angel:

I see one of these has been reduced from $999.00 down to $100.00
now that's some kind of reduction.
Normally if there was something with such a small mintage (in this case just the packaging) it could go as high as $999.00
It's just my opinion but I think it's the packaging that keeps the price,
down.
This Legend has heaps of listings must have got lucky in ballot
