[ausjack]

tick box if yes and leave blank if no

I can't get any response to this question/poll.

[ausjack]

I think it's worked GS as the poll reads
do you like them 3
have you bought any 4
would you buy 3
are there any problems 1 and I put that :good:

I've got to take some pic's to show you all why I put that and why I won't buy any more..they really aren't that good

sorry but these are just quick scans for now but should show what I mean

[ausjack]

Here's some slightly better pic's
this is roughly what it should look like

but this is more like it




so this is something to remember when buying frosted coins..I knew there'd be a down side..very unappealing to say the least :s

Looks like you got an "Unloved" proof set there AJ.
I have NEVER recived a set like that from the Aussie Mint.
I have recived a couple of crappy mint sets (2013) but never in a proof set.
Don't let this pommy rubbish stop you getting proof coins mate, most of em are perfect:yahoo:

[ausjack]

Yeah but for how long are they good? I still like a nice solid stamped coin..can't go wrong except my grotty little finger marks :blum3:

HAHAHA quality control everywhere

The aussie proofs are never like those monstrosities, The 66 sets are prone to toning but they fixed that up quick smart .

That set looks like it has been dredged up from the bottom of the river and dried out mate:Alvarin_33:

Yeh its a pretty nasty looking example AJ. Do you have any Aussie decimal proof coins? I have a 1981 Proof set somewhere on my desk which you can have if you send me your address. Im sure youll be more impressed with those.

Good on ya Matty, That should stop AJ sooking:diablo::laugh2:

Where's my smiley givin the bird :mocking: I'm not sookin, I was just tryin to show what can happen as I have some koalas that are fine but they are last years so I'm curious to see what happens and that set the copper is fine it's just the silver coins lettin the team down I'd hate to have a heap of them only to find out in a few year that they're only worth bullion or face value..I wouldn'tbe a happy camper :winkextra:

Thanks enworb :good:
Just thinkin, so how would they grade them :scratch_one-s_head: one side gets proof and the other gets zip

[Davidium]

I personally can't get enough of proof coins and sets, love singles and year sets, I can't help collecting them, hope they don't turn out like that though.

[ausjack]

Yeah it's only one side and NO water damage so don't know what went wrong
