Its not a collector coin though. No extra effort is put into minting them. They just use different dies and wrap a bit of cardboard around them to justify charging six times more than they're worth. :dodgy: A collector coin should be made to a much higher standard, IMO.

Yep. And if its anything like mine, its just as crappy as the circulation ones. Hence my comments.

I haven't seen any of the C mintmark coins but I would have expected a lot less bagging than on the circulation coins as the presses are run much slower.

Just noticed that this is our most-viewed thread, by a longshot. That would seem to suggest a lot of interest from the outside world, wouldn't it? Hmmmmmm....

It's no great surprise. It's in the public forums and it's a coin that's been in the media a lot.

Yeah, I figured. The Hmmmmm was more in line with what effect that may have on memberships. As in do the public threads entice people to sign up to get to the juicy stuff?

Only 950,000 coins minted according to the laterst RAM annual report.
Far below the PR'd 2m.

Do others here know more?

Which report are you looking at? I see 995,000 in 2012-2013 and none in 2013-2014.
Anyway, I'm sure someone here has posted about omissions from RAM annual reports before.

I wouldn't be surprised to see 13/14 in the next report. I got my rolls pretty late in the year, well over six months after the mixed bags.

It took them a couple of years to include the 2010 decimal heritage set.
