I particularly like the gold panning $1. Pity they didn't do one in actual gold (instead of aluminium bronze).

These $1 and 20 cent sets are a quite new thing from RAM, I have the Bourke and Wills, year of astonamy and the Mining sets in proof with the normal coins as well.
They look great side by side in a album :good:

The ones i can find are around the $55 mark. That seems like a lot for only two proof coins to me.

With a limited mintage of 25,000 I have NO dramas paying that sort of quids for these coins :good:
Besides they are a "must have" for me in my Dollar and 20 cent collections:angel:

I bought the Proof and Mint sets as soon as they were released with the normal yearly Proof and Mint sets.

As already been said, they really do look great.

No sarcasm intended.

If there is a standard sized $2,$1,50cent or 20 cent coin minted , I will want to add it to my collections.
All my decimal albums are sorted by date and not type; this means I add the proof, silver proof and NCLT to the same album as the business strike coins.

I am still playing "Catch up" on the earlier dated NCLT coins so when new coins come out now I get them as soon as possible so that I don't have to catch up on them later.

I find that putting all the different issues of a coin type in the one album gives my collections depth and are far more interesting than just business type coins :good:
