My one dollar collection.

Quoteperhaps I move back to pre decimals, at least the MINT cannot print new ones of those.

Don't bet on it -they still have a few dies.

RAM has already restruck old coins which is a worry ie the 5 coin $1 coins in folder 1984 - 1992

Maybe but they are not the old coins, those reprints belong to $1 collection.
I had a look at the values of Florins, they are not cheap either. I will start a new thread in the predecimal section about them as I am not familiar with them, I have a dozen excellent condition Florins so maybe that is something worth thinking of expanding.

I will wait a couple of years and see the comments from those that have ceased to maintain there $1 coin collections.

Surely a "complete collection" is worth more than a partial collection?

No collector would have the entire $1 coin in all formats and packaging variations

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

If we are talking about the 25mm, Alum Br coins only then I must be one that has a complete set. Just coins as well as the packaging that still contain the coins.

Do you have the Australia Post coloured animal $1 cards? Let me see if I can find a pic.

Never seen that one before.

OK, so I mis-read the part that says "in all formats".

But the one PPH pictured, is that an official packaging or a private packaging done by Australia Post to mark the release of the stamp.

If they are private packaging, I am not interested.

I believe that and this is why I think not may are going to buy a complete collection, only the ones that are missing so not having a complete year's collection does not really matter and many people collect different kinds of series like the mintmarks or privvy marks and not the "granny baits".

They are official Australia Post issue. Definitely genuine. Have seen them in the stamp bulletins.

A full list of every $1 coin in all formats would be a book in itself :wavemulticolor:
