Entry level dump that I could afford.

Very nice to have. Now aim high for the big one!!

I wish, but out of my price range.

I'm now interested in getting some proclamation coins that I can afford to go with it.

Entry level dump that I could afford.
I maybe could have gotten one at a lower price with patience but I'm happy with my purchase.

It was on eric's site and had a look at it at the ANDA show and decided to bite the bullet.

Always wanted one and this was a good way of getting one,The only one slabbed so far.:yahoo:

Tried to post larger pics but had a error message saying there was a 200kb limit.Click on pics and they come up a bit larger.

Details are out in the new mint issue

$15ea for the al/br
$50ea for the silver proof versions.
Personalized Proof baby set $125 with a AL/BR version coin of your choice to place in the set.
Standard proof and Unc baby sets also available which have the MOR $1 coin in them.

Dealers will get the Anzac press  $1 AL and M counterstruck coins allocation.

My impression is that these sets are likely a losing proposition is it not?

E.g. the Commwealth Games coins. For the shooting coin (one of the lowest mintages), Bluesheet values are $2, $6, $16, $60 for MS64, MS65, MS66 and MS67. But at the time retail was $4.95. I guess it depends on what MS you can achieve?

I quite like the 50c Australia At War coins. But the thought of paying $10 for a coin now that I could pick up for less in the future is putting me off. My logic wrong?

The risk is not being able to get the complete set of war coins or these in the future and have to pay heaps for missing coins. eg  gymnastics coin.

I find blue sheet values change to much.Values can go up and down by 50% in a matter of weeks. I guess this is linked to the amount of coins in pegs data base more than the value of all the coins (slabbed and raw)

Nice pic.

I hope they are not up around $15 a coin.It's still going to be a real expensive complete set to get.$300+

I would expect some of the coins to be a lower mintage like U,X etc which could be hard to get in the future like some of the commonwealth games coins.

I was shown some pics of the new $1 coin set from RAM.Due out this year

26 yes 26 $1 25mm coloured coins with each letter of the alphabet.
Each one in a card like the bugs series but I believe will be released all at once.
Each coin has a different background with a large capitol letter in the foreground.

Was also informed that the baby sets will be supplied without the normal $1 coin and a alphabet dollar of your choice will have to be ordered from the mint or dealer to place in the set,included in the price of the set.( I think this is for the proof baby set) as the coin will be in a capsule.

Don't have any more details or prices.

Quote from: 'emu666' pid='31054' dateline='1381803666'The early first day covers are crude compared to the modern ones but a great pick up Purple Girl.

The best thing about pre 1970 covers is the postmarks were applied when and where the postmark says.
Modern covers by AP are pre cancelled at the Melbourne philatelic bureau in order to have them on the PO shelves on the stamp release date.

Some of these modern postmarks were never in use outside the bureau.
The postmark on the lifesaving pnc is a good example of this.
Bondi PO  never had that PM in use.

Some people tried to get a PO set up in the northern pylon for the 75th bridge Ann like they had back in the 1932 opening.
Did not happen due to OH&S issues

Quote from: 'Australian coin' pid='10232' dateline='1363913134'haha I think I seen that question on stamp boards, simply the Bathurst 50c coin was released 3rd September 2012, and the mint had decided to start using 2013 backing dies, sometimes they do this and its kind of a treat to get a 2013 design early.
Australia post simply used the 50c coins in there PNC products and can put the cancelation mark date as whatever they want, I assume the date on the PNC is actually when the PNC was made, so a month after the official release of the Bathurst 50c commemorative no circulating legal tender coin.
hope this helps.

The FDI postmark date on Aus Post products applies to the stamp issue date.
It has nothing to do with the coin.
Even if the coin is a PNC only release the date is in the first instance for the stamp and the coin is a bonus.
In this case we (collectors) tend use the FDI date for both items.

3 'S' counterstamp Terra Australis coins will be issued.

Will you be collecting all 3 or as the folders and coins are the same, just one of them.

Did anyone get the coins from the Rotary convention.
