[attachment=1688][attachment=1688][attachment=1688]I have mentioned elsewhere that I have had a display at the RAM Building in Canberra. Well here I am with my coins on display on the upper level of the Public Gallery with some of the other displays. This photo was taken on the 12 Apr 2013.
Nice!!

A "One in a Million" person!:angel:
Is that a "Clock Rotation" display ?

THE CLOCK!
Well done.
beautiful bruce ,must make you very proud to own this ,
and also makes me proud to know someone who has such a passion for collecting coins , especially these kind of errors , that you can turn them into something that can be admired by all , not just coin collectors but all visitors to the R A M Canberra . well done ..

I think goldy is much rarer than 1 in a million.....
I think he is unique!
"Wonderful achievement Bruce". :yahoo:
cool
ps the important stuff - ill they give it back to you?
yes bruce , when do you get it back ,? is it on loan for a certain time just like paintings in the art gallery ??. or do you leave it there as long as you like , then take it back off them .
maybe the mint may offer you a price for it and keep it on display as their own ,.. ,, kel ,,
First question answered first: The outer circle of coins are the 2001 COF Upsets set up as a clock face. The angle of rotation between one coin and the other is 30 degrees, that same as a clock.
Second Question answered: The coins are on contract loan to the RAM and have been since Oct 2011. The contract ran out last Oct but has now been extended till Dec 2014. The RAM made the mount that you can see in the photo. The mount made of plastic was clear but they have now matted the surface and the display looks better. The coins have been insured by the RAM. Part of the loan contract STATES "The RAM will not reclaim the error coins.........".
The small area inside the circle is made up of nine coins, all $1's showing Rabbit Ears, Double Tails, Spew Roo and one Knapsack Roo.
The very centre coin is a extremely well centred MULE.
Very nice, Bruce.
Now I have an additional claim to fame...
"I held these years before they went on display" ;)
True Fulvio, true.
Lucky you Fulvio.
I think very few people would have had that opportunity.
I have not seen anyone else say they have a full clockface.
