In the foreground, and superimposed on a part of the map of Australia is a representation of a kangaroo standing on grass.

not quite there yet but some similar designs are starting to come out of the woodworks so thought I would put pics up as they appear

I will be going, I was wanting the counterstamp obviously, but I may have to stab a couple of people to be the one in 1,250 in line to get one. and at $30 a pop it is an expensive one too!, oh and how about collect all 6 colours, well f me# I don't have $180 bucks to drop on the S# guess im not that...into coins.
I will only be going one day and that's it, I don't have 4 hrs driving for 6 days to entertain that crap.
and $10 entry each on top of that, plus my family.
don't start me about car parking.
well I wanted to get these as gifts buy that is not happening now, I might get a few plain ones, but not counterstamp.
unless peeps want to fork out the $$$ themselves, did I mention I may have to stab people just to get in line haha, freakin small mintage, and I bet the dealers will get them before anyone,,, RAGE. turning green, HULK SMASH

I have a large collection of Samurai Swords and can lend you one if you like (Won't take long to get to the front of the queue with one of these suckers :diablo: )
Let me know what I am up for and I will send you the money:yahoo:
Where and when is the show being held please?
They must be joking. This crap is going to drive people out of the hobby just like Australia Post's greed drove people out of stamp collecting. :(
Personally, I refuse to play. Or pay.
Hi One and All,
If anyone from the forum requires any of the products from the above show, I will be attending the show every day. I already have my season ticket.
As such, I am available to secure items for you.
This will include the "M" Counterstamp 50c piece, First day cover (s) etc.
Please PM with your requirements/likes with CLEAR numbers/quantities of each item. Full sets of PNC's over the five/six days will be limited to one set per buyer unless monies are received ahead of time. This is because a full set of Covers will cost $180.
Once I have secured all your required items, I shall forward you a requirement for payment. In other words, I will buy your requirements but you will reimburse me once invoiced. All items will be carefully parcelled up and sent via REGISTERED MAIL I will be charging a flat rate of $5 for Registration and packaging then on top of that, actual postage costs.
All I can do is try and assist those that can't get to the show.
At this stage, known costs are:
"M" Counterstamp 50c piece PNC- $30.00 each
50c Unc coin - $9.00 per coin
Diamond Jubilee Coin/Stamp Booklet - $19.95 each
Standard PNC - $15.95 each
If prior to the start of the show, the orders received exceed my budget capacity, I shall be asking for advance payments to be direct bank deposit to my bank account. Any amounts deposited will be credited to your final purchase price.
This is due to the fact that I am a pensioner and I don't have a bottomless pit of cash........I trust that you will all understand.

I did the same a few years back and ignored all the offerings and now I am playing "Catch Up" and the cost is far greater now :dash1:
It is probably just the way you like to collect and each to their own, Coin collecting is a Personal choice and bugger what anyone else recons :good:
Some of the stuff is crap but there are some really nice issues available and I tend to Play and Pay.
like I said "each to their own", We all collect differently and that is what makes such a diverse and interesting bunch :yahoo::wavemulticolor:
the counterstamp m coin is only the PNC
the $9 coin is plain
don't want to mix them up with that pricing ><
I have amended the pricings in my previous speil. Is it correct now Australian Coin?
I got coins for everyone who wanted them, contact me with you addresses and stuff
Hey AC-Nice to have met you and folks at the show yesterday.
Today, one could do 20 of the Limited Edition PNC's at one go. A wee bit better than yesterday.
awwww I spent so long in line yesterday.
did they still do the dorky line up?
did they still sell yesterdays PNC, did they sell out? whats the news with that stuff
thx goldy it was great to meet you too, we are still laughing about the "mother in law" thing hehe
Not all the Limited Edition Day One PNC's were sold. The Post office still has not decided what to do with the left over covers from day one but according to a spokesperson from the RAM, Aust Post have been supplied with sufficient Counterstamp 50c coins to insert into these "spare" covers to be sold at a "future date".
I have voiced my concerns to the authorities re this disposal by selling at a later date as it defeats the purpose of attending these shows and securing limited edition products.
I was not the only one who voiced an opinion on this matter and we were advised that "our concerns" would be noted and taken into consideration re the final outcome.
Our concerns also extend to unsold covers for the remaining days of the expo.
Only time will tell what Aust Post will do with these unsold covers.
I hope that they will be destroyed.
The line up was still there but it was a weave line behind barriers and it went for miles.........
PS I understood that there would be no mention of the Mother In Law thingy..........
